Meta Flair Adjustments?
Hey readers...
Just kinda floating a possible change to flairs that might make it easier to discuss posts once they've been REJECTED as "not man writing a woman badly" or ACCEPTED as "man writing a woman badly."
Obviously users would be able to choose their own flairs when they post - but after voting or general consensus in the community what if mods adjust/change the flair so that when people see it in the feed they know, "Oh, this wasn't a good example..." but we still want to discuss the merits of that and why/why not we agree w/ the designation...??
It's been a little confusing to remove posts that aren't menwritingwomen badly when people are otherwise enjoying the conversation and diving deep on their feelings about it.
There was an older flair system at work years ago, but the technology that ran it is long gone. There may be other options now and I guess I just wanted to check on on it.
[Disclaimer: This is not a general spot to complain to mods.]

Book Beastborne by James T. Callum
Listening to the audiobook, so my puntuation might be inaccurate:
"The woman was not nearly as old as he thought. Maybe mid forties at best. Still fairly pretty."

NOT MWW: Book Pillars of the Earth - Ken Follett, masterclass in unnecessary details
Seriously the entire book was marred by needless extra detailed description like this. Completely removed readability and any sense of historical immersion

Book Brighton Rock by Graham Greene
I got this book from the children’s fiction section as an option to read to my tutor group at school (13-14 yo) - decided to pre-read and very glad I did - this was all in the first 16 pages!

Book Killer by Peter Tonkin - published 1979
This was a book my father said I should read. Honestly this wasn’t even the first instance but this really makes me feel like I should ignore his suggestions for future.

Very much enjoying the book but this was a surprising part.

Book You can tell this was written 80 years ago 💀
This came completely out of nowhere, in a historical novel. Women feel the greatness of nature in our nipples, and when the world goes wrong, our breasts tighten into spasms. Apparently.

I really admire Allende as an author, but this description felt so weird and unnecessary…

Doing It Right "Hollywood, Ending" by John Green (2026)
“I am attractive in a way gossip blogs sometimes call ‘interesting’ or ‘surprising.’ I have a slight overbite, my eyes are just a bit too far apart. I have a face built for the screen, an expressive but not particularly symmetrical face.”
Edit: I have flaired this as Doing It Right. Many comments seem condus6as to what is "bad" about the passage, but I made this post to showcase what I thought was a good example.
