Droll replies. But the title of the thread is 'women of the west'. Western fiction is a genre; filled with genre tropes.
You wouldn't write a female western character with a snarky, 'internet era' mindset.

Well, men are idiots. No one's denying that. Still, we did send a rocket to the moon.

Aye. And it's a long time since I've seen so many determined 'snowflakes' trickling down from the sky. Everybody is unique and no one shares any similarities to anyone else in the world. That's the mindset of today, but the OP is writing a western novel.

Actually, I think you're mistaking "snowflakes" with people who are fed up with the stereotypes posted in your earlier response. A whole bunch of women spoke up, and you should've listened and thought about what you said.

This is true, and if the OP returns and wants the thread re-opened, they only have to ask, it's drifted 'way out to sea, my bad for allowing this.
