Perhaps men write stuff with more mass appeal across gender lines than women do.
I watched that garbage show The Bachelor last night. The reason I watched it is because my wife invited her two attractive friends over to watch with her. I watched them while they watched the show.
While the show is hosted and produced by a guy the studio audience is all women and women are the largest viewing audience.
It's far more likely men are very hung up on what is masculine (macho) and what isn't. And that women don't by and large concern themselves with that.
And The View is the pinnacle of television?
Nah men probably just write about cooler stuff like explosions and wars and spies and power and women write romance stuff. Everyone likes the former
