I feel like before a certain era, all white men were sexist pigs. It was the patriarchy and that’s what they knew. Does that mean we shouldn’t acknowledge the works of writers before things changed? Of course not. Anyway my problem with him wasn’t his paper doll female characters, it was his 1930’s “golden era of sci fi” style writing. I can forgive antiquated social understanding, but not shit writing. I think Asimov was way overrated because he had a mind for world building but was kinda shit at actually having a story to tell.
