Then Asimov took a three-decade break from fiction.
At the most intimate moments, are they looking? It’s the voice in your ear.”Īnd I'm just going off the top of my head here. I still remember the cringe-worthy line: “Listen, men respond to voices. * Several stories about "intuitive robots" who had to be made feminine so that men would bother talking to them. * "Little Miss", whose only achievement is being open-minded about her "male" robot being sentient * about five shrewish mothers who didn't trust robots around their children and were proven wrong * the wife who ruins her husband's chance to hook up with a real bombshell on Mars by showing up a little too early with her mother * the woman who poisoned her genius husband after he created a temporary time-travel technology because she didn't believe he'd ever get the credit * the mother who saved a robot instead of her biological child and was killed by her husband * the housewife who fell in love with her robot Susan Calvin as the distant, unfeeling woman who could only be a mother to a robot was one. None of Asimov's early male characters have actual gender.Įvery time he tried to assign gender it was horrible.
