... often fail both the female and male versions. My characters usually end up mostly conversing between men and women (and vice versa, I... guess?).

It's also worth noting that this may have less to do with who's allowed to talk, and more to do with the main/focus character. If your viewpoint (even third-person) is following a man around, an f-f conversation has to either break that viewpoint, or be passively observed (since if your male main character gets involved, that breaks the rule).

Of course, that does imply that there's a dearth of main female characters (and of course, I'm not saying this is the only factor). But it's not as simple as simple, I guess is my point.
