Interesting! About 5 months before Feynman wrote this to Wolfram, 6-year-old me had just arrived in Connecticut and was starting to learn English.https://twitter.com/deliprao/status/1310261200521846785 …

I also don’t read his encouragement to fall in madly in love as misogyny and somehow implying that women are only useful for satiating some desire. Rather, this was an explicit counterpoint to his previous points, to remind Stephen to be open and vulnerable in matters of romance.
Even after this?? https://twitter.com/animaanandkumar/status/1310309865944788992?s=21 … sad that most men are blind to misogyny and bad behavior from so-called geniuses

It’s fine to lambast him for what you linked to, but it doesn’t make his letter to Wolfram toxic. Super basic stuff here.

I don't dispute that Feynman's attitudes towards women were generally unenlightened, by modern standards. But I find the specific guidance to Wolfram to be pretty reasonable given the context in this letter. Can you help educate me re: the misogyny?
