Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.
This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.
Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…
We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

Giving me Vonnegut vibes.
Unfortunately, there is a lot of terrible prose today that still does this. Not just to women. And I'm not talking about erotica. As long as you do your research, you should be able to avoid committing the most atrocious errors (i.e. woman staring at herself naked in a mirror describing her breasts for the benefit of the reader, woman described as "still beautiful" when doing something totally normal like washing dishes or sweating after a run, etc., etc.).
