I'm not sure Feynman is still safe. For example, there is the matter of his visiting topless bars. A common position today is that women who choose sex work should not be shamed (because that denies their own agency, and in the case of prostitution keeping things underground only helps trafficking), but at the same time the men who visit sex workers should be shamed for objectifying the female body.

- qubex 5y agoWhat is said of women who frequent topless bars? Does it matter whether they are straight, bi-, or lesbians? This is getting quite ridiculous.
- Brian_K_White 5y agoThis double standard is true, but it's only fair considering the opposite double standard that stood forever and still stands, about women who get around vs men. But there are are all kinds of double standards in both directions so this one is true but not especially remarkable, and if one would complain about it's unfairness, one better be just as incensed and outraged about all the others, and on balance, I think the women get rather more shafting than men. I don't think it looks very good to cry about this unfairness.
