writers?

Nothing. Writing does not discriminate. Writers can and do, of course, but
the most exclusive are the marketers. They make decisions based not on who
will use the product, but who will buy it. (Individual consumer purchases by
women make up the single largest segment of the U.S. GDP.)

As for motivation and competency, my wife often tells people that my
homemade popovers and clam chowder, not my charm, won her heart. While that
wasn't the main reason I learned to cook, it certainly worked out well.
