I tend to work under the general assumption that men write better epic plots, with twists and turns and lengths and story - but are weak with characters and dialogue. And that women write better dialogue, character, and character based drama, but flounder a bit with epic plots and grand scopes. Silly, I know.
I wouldn't call it silly at all--I would suspect it is, in fact, very true. Just from my own experience. I mean, it obviously doesn't hold true for all, and there's a fair amount of leeway as to how weak they are on one thing or another, but I would say at a basic level, it goes back to how men and women function--men generally on a more analytic level, women on a more emotional/character-driven level.
