Men are better at compartmentalizing and keeping their emotions from interfering too much with their reasoning. Which has a net benefit in multiple respects to the creative process. IE, consistency, rationale, steadier application of emotions on the characters' responses and behavior, etc.
There's also that one repeated study I've read about where women have the tendency of projecting their own personality and applying it to characters, where-as men are more able to do the opposite and actually try to put themselves in the characters' shoes and "become" the character.
And additionally, a lot of the writers being hired as of late in general have a tendency of being a little unhinged anyway. Even more-so when they're female diversity hires.
This is most strikingly shown in regard to painting, where mastery of technique is at least as much within their power as within ours; and hence they are diligent in cultivating it; but still, they have not a single great painting to boast of, just because they are deficient in that objectivity of mind which is so directly indispensable in painting. They never get beyond a subjective point of view.
Men don't try to make female characters themselves. It happens some with male characters but normally those are already power fantasy games (or stuff like, lets say the Arkham series where it's a quasi-power fantasy). Almost all female writers in modern stuff are brought in because of their commie views and will do everything in their power to make the characters both identical in their worldviews and a self-insert.
Disagree. Someone having flaws doesn't immediately make them a good character. Especially when those flaws just make them come across as mean spirited or actively working against logic for the sake of the plot.
Or just exist so that everyone can be mean to Jerry because even those "male writers" were desperate to convince you that being a beta male is somehow evil and thereby deserving.
I disagree but at this point its probably just splitting hairs.
jerry in earlier season character was bad
He wasn't bad, he was an actually interesting character because his major flaws actually mattered. He couldn't just stop being pathetic whenever it was necessary for a joke or needed to escape the plot like Morty, his characterization continued regardless of what the plot often wanted from him and lead to him often making decisions in spite of what a reasonable person would. Something that you can't actually say about anyone else in the show honestly.
This I feel is because they really want him to be the "villain" in a way, as they consider his weakness to be manipulative and evil. And as is often the case, being a villain frees him from having to be held to some standard checklist and just be a character.
Because men idolize women. Its one of the most consistent themes throughout history. Men grow up with this wonderful idea of women in their minds that will inevitably end up getting shattered by reality at some point, usually as his finally challenge for "growing up." So while we all lose that innocence of that beautiful image in our mind being real, we never forget how wonderful it was.
Given this, all those little faults and flaws get turned into beloved things. Look at the laundry list of things guy's can fetish about women. A fucking mole is considered so high on the list that they invented entire piercings just to emulate it.
Put these two together, and the female characters men create often end up being flawed enough to not be offputting but even more attractive while also being created with a love that you can often feel subconsciously.
Whereas when women are creating female characters they end up in two camps. The "idealized" version of herself. So either so wonderful that she becomes a Mary Sue or with her flaws so played up so they can be treated as good things that she becomes insufferable. The other is a character designed specifically to make people angry, either politically or sexually. This often overlaps with the "flaws played up but treated as a good thing."
When men write a character, they try to learn everything about that character and so it becomes well rounded and distinct.
When women write a character, they try to make the character become them. Even if the writer herself is interesting (and that's asking a lot), all her characters will be variations on the same theme, rather than unique personalities.
it depends on the character of the writer more than anything else. Many western writers in general are all in on woke shit because that what western higher education tells them is good.

Men write for other men, women write for themselves
Do you have a stalker just down voting all your comments? It's not like your opinions about this are particularly offensive

It's the Lego Friends phenomenon.
