Editor's Note: I should mention that I disagree with the rationale behind the word "better." After all, Hemingway and Raymond Chandler would both be quick to point out that shorter, more direct sentences are far superior to longer, more descriptive (or flowery) sentences (of course, it is telling that they are men). As a comparative infographic about the differences between male and female writers, I find it particularly useful. However, as a superlative one extolling the virtues of one gender over the other, I find it very much a straw man argument.
