I actually prefer to write males haha! I still have emotional males, but I also think I have a tendency to write more direct overall (maybe why my mares come off a bit manly too) so I can fully agree with what the Odd and Smithers have said regarding that. It's not like, don't write emotions, but more of, do more action instead of more emotion, especially if you have a tendency to do the opposite already.

I do however want to add that thinking about sex does play a larger role, imo. Again I don't want to get too deep into gender roles and rape culture and all of that, BUT males are wired by nature to want to spread their seed. Women are wired by nature to protect their egg and pick the best candidate to fertilize them. So Women can put a lot more rationale and emotion and judgement behind their sexual, or lack thereof, choices, where as men have an impulse in the opposite direction to screw without much thought.

Obviously we still hold men accountable, they are not mindless sex machines etc, but it doesn't change the fact their biology is different and that it underlies a lot of their thoughts and actions. I'm not saying make a man slut if you don't want to, but their genitals play a big role whether we like it or not.
