1). Describing a female character solely by her appearance. A bad
writer can focus this to a truly laser-like myopia; the classic example
is when a pair of large shapely breasts enter a room, incidentally
attached to a woman.
What if the character doing the describing has issues with breast size?
I thought all men had issues with breast size - different sizes,
different issues.
Who says the character doing the describing is male?
(my view may be coloured by the fact that I live with three teenage
boys)
