Wolfe: Misogynist or Realist?

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

It'll be interesting to see what people think of
Wolfe's main female character in *Soldier of Sidon*,
the "singing girl" Myt'sereu, who is prone to drinking
and promiscuity. There's also a new Wolfe story, "Six
>From Atlantis", which takes a number of shots at
Robert E. Howard's treatment of women; whether Wolfe
is being ironic or not is up to the reader to decide.
