I agree with this. It's meant to be a humorous reference to a specific act that was popularized in older westerns. Anything outside of that is reading too much into it. I can't wait for the day when we become so sensitive to sexism that all of the characters I play are required to be able to save the male in distress as well as the female, but they'll solve this by making the character an androgynous hermaphrodite, can't complain then, can you? And yes, I'm being obtuse on purpose. There's a lot of actually sexism in the world without convoluting the entire thing with this bullshit.
