As problematic as the lady situation is in the Dresden Files, I give Butcher a pass, because like you said, every single female character has a hell of a lot of agency, and because his other series doesn't show the same flaws (it has flaws, just not the same ones). Like you said, the chivalry thing and the describing ladies as beautiful seems to be just Harry, since it doesn't really occur in the Alera series.

Also, I basically read for the Harry/Murphy dynamic. I was highly disappointed when she was barely in Dead Beat and then joyful when Butcher didn't make that mistake again, because Murphy and her sheer awesome make the series for me.
