Nah, if you're not enjoying a book, there's a million better ones waiting for you. Though I admit that selection is so strict at the source that usually I either quit very early on or not at all. In this case I just wanted to catch up on a classic. As i said I'm more upset by the politics than the misogyny, which is probably due to my gender.

TBH I could never get through a Heinlein book (that was before my "finish everything I start" vow. His period-typical inability to write 51% of the human population was too much of an obstacle to my suspension of disbelief.
Hey Rachel, I hope you're well. I'm here to ask your opinion on Robert Heinlein, and libertarianism more in general. SFFBC in currently re-rearding The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress and I'm kinda disturbed by the politics.

I agree, but I think there is a lot to be learned from bad books, especially if they're considered a classic. I want to know why my opinion differs from other people's.
Back when I attempted to read it I had much more of a libertarian streak than I do now—I didn't pick up on how atrocious the politics were except in retrospect.
