No, but men and women do have different writing styles. You can usually tell if a writer is male or female with about 80% accuracy once you recognize the tell-tale giveaways. Yeah, that's got nothing to do with specific fetishes. But, an amatuer female author will give the male characters a woman's thought processes and reactions subconsciously. So, yeah, it does change the story a great deal. And you can see that issue in Big Brother.
Max, for example, pretty much behaves like a woman in every respect. If you do a play through and just keep imaging him as a woman, the planets align perfectly. Where as, if you consider him a male, you think of him a forever-alone beta. Even when he gets assertive with Eric and stops being beta, all he does is blurt out shit then run away or cower and remain silent. No follow through.
All of his attacks are passive aggressive. All of his plans are sneaky and manipulative instead of straight-forward. None of it involves him actually improving as a person, but instead bringing everyone else down. All of his confrontations lead to avoidance or apologies. He relies very heavily on others instead of achieving things by himself with pride. And Eric is written more like an exaggerated villain from a pop-culture movie - a Mary Sue of villainy, if you will. He's not written like a normal man, as 50+ posts in this thread have pointed out.
But I could go with it at this point in time.
