I was letting ye ol sexism stand in my way

I should tell you I'm actually a woman. I'm also not a fifteenth century vampire. But it was sexism that obscured my view. I kept assuming the gunslinger should / would be a guy because that's what he was in the original. I didn't even consider the prospect the character could be female until the theory came to me yesterday, which I felt slow on because it's the sort of theory that for any other role I would have had during the trailers before the premiere.

Exactly why I felt slow about it once the idea hit me and why I feel it was sexism / gender expectation that slowed me down.
