Character Crafting and Empathy in Writing

Also this: Robert Jackson Bennett on Empathy in Writing. (Swears warning, if you're sensitive to that kind of thing.)

I haven't read anything of his, but I'm all for other people striving to understand other people complexly! And I have noticed how poorly some men write women. C.S. Lewis was accused of writing women poorly until Till We Have Faces came out, and even then, a good number of people argue that it is successful only because of Joy's contributions.
