I gotta admit there's kind of a big wish-fulfillment aspect to the whole trope of "frightened confused woman goes to seek help from Sherlock Holmes" thing. It's sooooo comforting. But IMO it's not a female-only thing. Who wouldn't want to know a couple of guys like Holmes and Watson to turn to if you were ever in trouble and confused and didn't know what to do or whether you were just going mad?

It's just that guys aren't "supposed" to want other people to sweep in heroically to help them, they're "supposed" to always be the guys who do the heroics, never the guys who need help. Which is just as bogus as the idea that women shouldn't want to be the hero who helps people, and should only want heroes to help them.

/sorry if this is sort of rambling. Got superheroes on the brain.

This. The original stories are *full* of male clients who arrive at Baker Street in a highly emotional state, feeling helpless and desperate and begging for Holmes's help.

In fact, now that I think of it, the female clients are often portrayed as relatively calm, with a practical, sensible attitude.
