Blood Meridian seems Horror Western to me (not a female domain)

[Alex Colter]

I was afraid my statement would spark such a debate. I don't think he's
being sexist...? (tho' it appeared such in the first few lines?)
I would particularly be more tempted to say, however untrue, that the mind
or character of Judge Holden is not a female domain. This does not mean many
females cannot venture there (and perhaps 'tis the Squire Haligast in me,
but I see even more than mere venturing by women into this domain, but a
Blakean strain of revolution.), but to read that book and find nothing in
common between oneself and the Judge is, if anything, good...?
