You're right - I was actually thinking of Michael of an example of a completely different and non-sexist character written by Butcher. I liked Butters a lot but he got Flanderized hard.

Butcher is a notable example of a writer who's actually tried to evolve past that. It's also difficult to say how much of it is Butcher and not just his depiction of Harry Dresden.

It boils down pretty simply: you have to undergo a lot of intensive training (years IIRC) with the sword to be able to kill effectively. A gun requires zero training to use, and relatively little to become passable with. Plus you can kill way more people in less time.
Swords are still way cooler.

That's for the eggheads to know and for the rest of us to be creeped out by.

That's actually a point I hadn't considered, but it makes sense.
