The girl-with-penis syndrome and how to avoid it - advice for M/M writers

Ok, guys this post may hit a sensitive nerve for some people so please don’t bash me, but I heard a few writers complaining that reviewers call their characters too girly and unrealistic and they wonder where they went wrong.

Quotes by Shayla Mist (?)

“He looked like a rabbit about to bolt. And it roused the most sadistic instincts inside me. I wanted to make him squirm. To scare him. To possess all his thoughts.”
