Sorry, but you seem to have very little notion of Heinlein's works, except for a burning desire to be offended by them, despite your unfamiliarity.
- bawolff 5y agoWhat makes you think i'm offended by it? Being unconvinced by the sexual politics of the novel's world and being offended are very different things. I read and enjoy many things i'm unconvinced by. Life would be really boring if i agreed with every idea i ever read. And well he's certainly not my favourite author i have enjoyed many of his novels and many of them contain interesting ideas. > despite your unfamiliarity You literally just told me a specific scene didn't exist, despite the fact it clearly does as evidenced by me finding it again and quoting it at you. Perhaps i'm not the one who needs to re-read this novel.
