I kind of understand what he means, in that there are an awful lot of male writers who are fucking atrocious at writing female characters and instead of making them actual characters just make them check lists of what they think the perfect female character should be like.

It is probably because of the media's (and societies) representation of women but I think it has more to do with a lot of 20 something year old males being a bit self indulgent.
This isn't the biggest problem ever though it's like how a lot of twenty something year old females aren't very good at writing drama. It's just something that people grow out of a lot the time.
