EGM and Cracked writer Seanbaby takes a good hard look at Red Dead Redemption and decides it's chock full of misogyny. As always, it's a hilarious read.

As I played through Red Dead Redemption, I learned a lot of things about the Old West. Irrelevant things since I shot them all, but one theme remained strangely constant as I played: The West hated women. I guess The West could just never forgive them for Mary Kate and Ashley’s How the West Was Fun.

The female characters in Red Dead Redemption are only there to nag and complain before a passing murderer uses her as a knife storage. Every woman lies to you, and most of them try to kill you. It’s the first Western based on a passive aggressive letter to some dick’s ex-wife, and the only game where you can see an angry customer chase a hooker out of a saloon and you’ll say, “Your strangler may have himself a point, dying lady.”
