"[Traffic] all moves along, however crowded, quite steadily at the rate of 25 miles per hour (Terran). Gethenians could make their vehicles go faster, but they do not. If asked why not, they answer 'Why?' Like asking Terrans why all our vehicles must go so fast; we answer 'Why not?' No disputing tastes."

This is a splendid book and I'm entranced, I read half the book in 2 days.
However, and I know this is a product of its times, rather, even a better product than its times, but still--the gendering of traits, e.g. "his feminine deceit", bothers me a lot. But I know this was written in the 60s and Le Guin was young, and grew, and wrote later how her worldview improved and that's really commendable.
