Richard Feynman was my childhood hero. I was inspired by his autobiography but glossed over his views on women. Only after my personal adult experiences in academia, it hit me how terrible he must have been to women. We can admire a guy for one quality and condemn for another.https://twitter.com/leilasedai/status/1082656192244133890 …

Good for you! We all have problems and social norms change. Accept and recognize the good and reject the bad. Personally, if someone is generally good, especially considering the time in which they lived, I think they should be worthy of admiration.
I disagree. Feynman was good to men but not to women, doesn't matter what times he lived in. Because of him so many women in physics didn't want to pursue further. Still I admire his research and passion for science. It is possible to admire quality but not person as a whole
