If the social biases of the model put a hard limit on your ability to write a good woman character, I question how much it's really you that's "writing" the story. I'm not against using LLMs in writing, but it's a tool, not a creative partner. They can be useful for brainstorming and as a sounding-board for ideas (potentially even editing), but imo you need to write the actual prose yourself to claim you're writing something.
I use them to explore personalities unlike my own while roleplaying around the topic of interest. I write like I am the main character with my friends that I know well around me. I've roleplayed the scenarios many times before I write the story itself. I'm creating large complex scenarios using much larger models than most people play with, and pushing the limits of model attention in that effort. The model is basically helping me understand points of view and functional thought processes that I suck at while I'm writing the constraints and scenarios. It also corrects my grammar and polishes my draft iteratively.
