While writing the previous post, 1976, I was aware that the clueless male sexism I was describing continued for many years afterward, and indeed, is still alive and kicking today—though much of it has grown less clueless and more malicious. I referred to Robert A. Heinlein’s novel, Time Enough for Love, published in 1973. Many of Heinlein’s later works feature guru-like old men mounting very young and very grateful women, and honestly, I can’t remember if my queasy memories of these variations on a theme are principally from Time Enough for Love or from his 1970 novel, I Will Fear No Evil. I gave up reading Heinlein after those two weighty products of one-handed typing, and I can’t bear the thought of slogging through either of them now in order to check.
