When Heinlein represents some of the better portrayals, you know you have issues.  Even the more liberal representations feel ham-fisted and vapid.  It&amp;#x27;s enough that I&amp;#x27;ve grown very leery of anything before the 90s, which is a shame because there&amp;#x27;s a lot of important stuff before then...but reading it pokes the wounds of too many sexist&amp;#x2F;racist older relatives (plus &amp;quot;is this what I&amp;#x27;ll seem like by the standards of a few decades in the future?&amp;quot;) to let me enjoy the stories.</text></comment>
