Part of it's circumstances, but part is also, IMO, that Watson is still shoving women into either the "angel of the household" or "loyal servant" model, and cannot wrap his head around the idea that Holmes sees them as *people* and not cliches. Watson's good man on the whole, but he is very, *very* much a man of his time.
