Excellent! Yes, I grew up reading a lot of the Asimov etc era sci fi (libraries were biased to hardbounds despite a lot of scifi being pulp paperbacks) and it wasn't until much later I noticed

Only the men are human. Even if they're robots.

I have to figure it took so long because tv shows and movies were so skewed towards male protagonists. And, geek protagonists were precious, but there was a rule about female geeks in fiction

they didn't exist

Which wasn't quite true, there was a girl in Mad Scientists Club. Notice A.
