It's important to understand that his attitude and behaviour were common at the time, but also that the means of condemning it and punishing it were much more hidden then (and invisible to us today): whisper networks among women to keep their distance because he was "handsy"; his male friends telling him that he should be careful because one day an angry husband or boyfriend might punch him out for his behaviour. It was handled quietly and informally, and with very limited effectiveness. Mad Men didn't get into this side of it. Low status men might notice they don't get invitations to dinner that other men get, but high status was effectively immunity: Asimov was important; you couldn't not invite him to a con or a party.
