Men's novels are about men. Women's novels are about men, too, but from a different point of view. You can have a men's novel with no women in it except possibly the landlady or the horse, but you can't have a women's novel with no men in it. Sometimes men put women in men's novels but leave out some of the parts: the heads, for instance, or the hands. Women's novels leave out parts of men as well. Sometimes it's the stretch between the belly button and the knees, sometimes it's the sense of humour. It's hard to have a sense of humour in a clock, in a high wind, on a moor.
Women do not usually write novels of the type favored by men, but men are known to write novels of the type favored by women. Some people find this odd.
-- writer Margaret Atwood in Women's Novels
