Sep. 1st, 2006 04:12 amI've heard various complaints about Robert Heinlein over the years, particularly accusations of fascism and sexism in his writing, and I've never been able to see those tendencies for myself. I've read damn near everything he's written, and I don't see it. I found this article by Spider Robinson (another excellent writer), and he points out what people are generally talking about when they level those accusations at Heinlein, and promptly debunks them. I'm pretty much in agreement with Spider's assessments.
