Rich women from the XIXth century aren't the same as middle class one from the XXIth century.
Yet great writers often managed to capture the intangible spirit that women inherently have.

Modern popular writers often obscured by their idealization of women or/and an overdose ideology cannot write the reality of the female condition, or more often they just do not dare.
There is no author bold enough to write women how Houellebecq writes men for instance.

Girls are sullen, and self-protective, indulgent of things they begrudge others; they're insecure, overconfident yet always require someone else to pick up the slack lest they sink into an anomie of underachievement for which they don't seem to feel very much responsible---nor do they feel responsible for that anomie's redress except maybe in the case of, say, picking up an ineffectual hobby off and on like jogging, photography, painting an old chair they thrifted, drawing.) They're truly pathetic creatures, but not in a demeaning way. They can't help it, and are perfect objects of the blandest of literary tragedies, a la Bovary, Karenina etc. (Flaubert really pinned the butterfly to the setting board in that he also made Emma the star in her own imagined melodrama.) Sure there are some type A hawks, too, but they're less interesting as simple products of contemporary social norms (if by social one means the relations delineated by contemporary democracy/capitalism.)

(To the trannies: I've had enough sex that were going to disabuse me of these notions it would've done by now.)

Despite the hate that Anna k and Emma bovary get, I find them to be sympathetic.tolstoy and Flaubert are a couple of the best novelists of all time for a reason.it takes talent to make a character sympathetic and loathsome at the same time(Emma more than Anna for me at least)

Ever read Stoner? John Williams portrayed a certain type of woman absolutely perfectly with Edith. My mother in law is in her exact mold.

I think most men act pretty similar to the characters of Dickens. Usually not too smart and not too noble but capable of some goodness that's sort of already folded into their natures.

>I think most men act pretty similar to the characters of Dickens
That's in similar vein to what I was thinking when I countered OP, there are books out there that portray men and women more realistic, and then there are those that go deeper into fantasy.
There might be a man out there that on the surface resembles Lupin in some points, but Lupin as a character is just too perfect for any actual human to be like him. Same with women, it depends what books one reads and the kind of women they interact with.

I wrote out a quick post about how he only has like five archetypes for women, but then realized that those five encapsulate most of them. I also forgot about Esther Somerset, who is even rather flattering. Like Elizabeth Benet without the hundred quips. I think Dickens hit on portraying men and women pretty fucking perfectly.

I legit used to think most women are secretly wet for the balding atheist introvert, but go for the boring chad instead cuz they’re intimidated by intellectualism.

Books and movies push this false hope pretty hard, and most readers are losers so it finds just the right audience

It’s taken me a while to grasp but now I understand that women in fiction are all some lonely guy’s ideal of what type of girl he wishes had existed for him back in high school. You’re not reading what something is but what someone wants to be.
