I don’t know if I would agree with you. Maybe he wasn’t misogynistic earlier in life, but by the end? Did you ever read Friday? It’s kind of disturbing. Yes, the main character is a woman who is better than a normal human through genetic engineering. She also enjoys getting raped.
That idea is also a very common thing in Ayn Rand’s writing too, which he’s said he was quite influenced by her writing in an interview in the mid 70s.

book vs person. Heinlen explored ideas.
and no, I have no read that one.
When the idea is “if you get gang raped, just lie back and enjoy it,” I think that says something about the person.
Not always. If it was a constant them then yes, but Heinlen was complicated. It’s like saying Stephen king likes to murder people.
