I think it would be more accurate to say he believed in traditional gender roles quite strongly, but very little in the societal institutions of the 1950s. Some ideas he promotes in his writing: polyamory, group marriage, distrust of centralized authority.

> traditional gender roles I don't think so - yes he has this weird trope where most of his female characters after meeting the main male char want to settle down and become a home maker for unclear reasons, but prior to that point in the book typically the female characters are very independent and competent in roles that are not traditional gender roles.
