I have a hard time with RW SF

6. His view of women is the

Howard Hawks woman (the film director), which is an ultimate little boy fantasy of a woman who isn't silly like girls (ewwww...) but is one of the guys. But then a real man... the right man... can turn her into a woman and she melts and becomes a baby factory.

These tough-guy women (who now dominate mass media) are described as "strong women" but they're really just masculinized.

I assume you know all about the RAH v. Judith Merrill, Fred Pohl, Asimov, at al over the Vietnam ad wars. But for folks reading along here, Heinlein assumed that all science-fiction fans and writers were anti-communist militarists because he was. He (and others) took out an ad supporting the Vietnam war in one of the 1960s digest SF magazines and was shocked to see a rebuttal ad paid for by the Pohl/Merrill axis. Hilighted a left/right schism in SF that few folks had even realized was there.

If I am misrembering the story, c'est la vie.

Anyway, the reason Canada had the first accademic science fiction archive was because Judith Merrill moved there over the Vietnam war and her papers and collection were left to a Canadian university.
