"Swoopers write a story quickly, higgledy-piggledy, crinkum-crankum, any which way. Then they go over it painstakingly, fixing everything that is just plain awful or doesn’t work. Bashers go one sentence at a time, getting it exactly right before they go on to the next one. When they’re done, they’re done. Writers who are swoopers find it wonderful that people are funny or tragic or whatever, worth reporting, without wondering why or how people are alive in the first place. Bashers, while ostensibly making sentence after sentence as efficient as possible, may actually be breaking down seeming doors and fences, cutting their way through seeming barbed-wire entanglements, under fire and in an atmosphere of mustard gas, in search of answers to the eternal questions: ‘What in heck should we be doing? What in heck is really going on?’"

-Vonnegut, Time Quake

Vonnegut says the the majority of the time Bashers are men and Swoopers are female. But the point is that this is why I think people gravitate to one gender over another for their literature. I'm a woman, and I read mostly Male writers.
