According to this character's inner monologue, she's "a little tall (but not too tall)" and wears "pants so impossibly tight" that if she had a credit card in her back pocket, "you could read the expiration date." Um, OK. That's definitely what women think about when they pick out their clothes.
Katz tweeted more screenshots from this author's story, in which the female character "blushed on command," and included cringey phrases like "and of course, my boobs." Ew.

As Katz pointed out in her Twitter thread, these parodies don't mean that men can't write strong female protagonists. It does, however, mean that they should consider looking for feedback from an actual woman before they send their writing for publishing.
