Why So Many Women Are Missing the Message in 1923 (And Why It Matters)
Taylor Sheridan didn’t just gift us cowboys and sweeping cinematic landscapes, he delivered something far more powerful: complex, fiercely feminine characters who challenge the way women see themselves. From Alexandra’s tenacity to Teonna’s unmatched resilience, these women aren’t just part of the plot—they are the message. But while the shows are flooded with bold storylines and beautiful symbolism, too many viewers are missing the gold buried beneath the dust.
Instead of rising in awe, we see complaints. Fury over endings, mislabels of misogyny, and entire Reddit threads slamming the same stories that were created to empower us. But what if the issue isn’t the writing? What if it’s the reflection? These shows are mirrors, and sometimes we don’t like what’s staring back.
In a world flooded with swipe culture, fear-based dating, and loud opinions from people who aren’t even in the arena, 1923 (and its wild sisters) quietly hand us permission to live, love, and lead from a different place. One where we stop waiting for the cowboy and start becoming the main character. Saddle up, darling—because I wrote something you need to read.
