I am surprised that anyone would think this is a feminist western. No feminist western would give men the predominant storyline. It is true that, for a western, there is a high count of female characters, and many of them don't ascribe traditional western roles. On the other hand, the high number of male pov rapes and male rescues of damsels would soundly drown out that feminist chorus.
Try again. The show is called Godless, not Manless, for a reason. (Do ignore the trailer tagline about no man's land. Like many trailers, it hardly knows its own story.)
Edit: That sounds a bit like I'm mad at it for not being feminist, but I'm not. I very much liked it.
