Carey isn't quite as proficient at writing men as she is writing women

I would have been surprised if she was. Joscelin Verreuil also strikes me as being a projection of some facets of a man that a woman most notices, and not a man as we exist from the inside.

I have never known a man with a true female side, and I have never known a woman with a true male side, either as authors or in real life.

James Tiptree Jr, aka Alice Sheldon.

Robert Silverberg: "It has been suggested to me that Tiptree is female, a theory that I find absurd, for there is something ineluctably masculine about Tiptree's writing."

Yes, I do believe that Orthodox Jewish cultural hardwiring is showing.
