Our fictional universe also turns out to contain words that male authors use to describe female characters but which a woman would rarely use to describe herself or another woman. These words seem to highlight the biggest differences in how male and female authors view the world.
One key word here: interrupted. In each of our three categories (classics, popular fiction and literary fiction), male writers are at least 75% more likely to have their female characters interrupt than their male ones. Meanwhile, female authors didn’t discernibly differ in the frequency with which they have their characters of both genders interrupt.
Similarly, female authors use sob at about the same rate for their male and female characters—but male writers hardly ever use it to describe their own male characters. Male authors seem, consciously or not, to hold that if “real men don’t cry,” then “fictional men don’t sob.”
Really interesting article. If the link doesn’t work for you, try clinking through this twitter post: https://twitter.com/jessesheidlower/status/842400218922508288

The UCCS Theatre Company presents LA RONDE, directed by Robert Dassanowsky. This long banned 1897 play by Austrian author Arthur Schnitzler features ten couples across all levels of class in interlocking scenes, before and after a sexual encounter. Dassanowsky's direction sets the action in imperial Vienna 1914, on the eve of the First World War, using the waltz as a metaphor and stressing the tragicomic and Freudian quality of the work. Runs April 28-30; May 5-7 @8PM in UCCS Osborne Studio Theater, Univ. Hall.
