This is 100% accurate. I don't understand why people on this forum are so uncomfortable when it comes to nuance about interpersonal behaviour across genders. Feynman was a brilliant genius and educator. He also had some fucked up attitudes towards women he considered sexual targets (less so those he saw as intellectual peers). These are both facts. The second does not negate the first. We have to understand and embrace both. My suspicion is people get into such deep denial about it because they themselves hold indefensible positions. But recognizing problematic behaviours does not taint the entire person. Acknowledging that you have opportunities for improvements with egalitarian treatment of other genders and races does not make you a bad person. Feynman can't change - his attitudes are frozen in stone, or at least in the written word. The rest of us can though.
