I can picture that woman being described about and I am imagining someone looking like a freak, like no one you can easily find anywhere. The first sentence is right: "Men writing women characters." If you are a writer writing about something or someone that you know nothing or little about, at least make an effort to do research so you'd appear to know what you are writing about. Any sensible writer takes the time to do research. This is why I love Dan Brown's books. They are well research and so they are well written. If you travel to one of the locations in his book, you will find the landmarks described in the book are there in real life.
