I got the first paperback (at least within the chronology of the story; it may not have been Leiber's first story about Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser). I was really repelled by the story of Fafhrd and the portrayal of women as evil for being mad about husbands and sons in pursuit of erotica. - Mark Horne

I haven't yet read the stories of Fafhrd & the Grey Mouser, but I remember that in D&D circles it was a reference. And in the fantasy community it was on the list. I was originally a hard SciFi guy that got dragged for a decade over to the fantasy genre because of the excellence of Tolkien, but even to this day, when I ever have time I like to make a digression over into fantasy for "old times sake". On another note, I have had to deal with the clash of world-views ever since when I first "got saved" when.. - Jimmie R. Irwin Jr.

I was in the height of SciFi immersion. I really believed the gospel and the out-and-out godlessness of all my favorite hero-authors of that genre really disturbed me. I had to compartmentalize them to enjoy the entertainment value and philosophical contemplations. It is too bad the writer "dissed" women. - Jimmie R. Irwin Jr.

I understand that the writer of the Twilight books (you know, the teenage vampire angst made into TV series) really did some disturbing things for teenage girls in regards to getting them to like abusive boyfriends (see the various bloggetry on the subject). - Jimmie R. Irwin Jr.
