Masculinization of Historical Heroines

Fio is judging historicals for a romance-writing contest again, and she's up to her gills in dainty little heroines from centuries past who not only drink, smoke, and swear, but shoot, fence, engage in fisticuffs, wear men's clothing, and ride astride. And yet the wussy hero is madly in love with his lady fair because she is unbelievably beautiful.

Fio would advise him to cut bait because it's only a matter of time before she whacks off that gorgeous red/blonde/ebony black hair, starts calling herself "Chaz," and gets herself a girlfriend.

Good riddance! She most likely wasn’t as beautiful as the wussy hero anyway!
