I certainly won't be "shocked", having read about Einstein's attitude towards women. The daft thing is how people made him into a "humanitarian icon" in the first place. This happened primarily, one suspects, because of his hair style and some quotable platitudes that he spouted. That said, it would be just as wrong to claim he was an exceptionally bad person. No doubt he had his strengths and his weaknesses, just like anyone else.
