Keep in mind, Bradbury often adopted a subjective-third-person voice, tainted with the viewpoint of the protagonist.
Then again, the other Bradbury story in SHOCK was "Small Assassin," in which an evil baby murders his mom. There's a lot of post-war gynophobia, and fear of domesticity, in his work, certainly. But then, those were the anxieties of those who'd buy what his work was in, after all.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
