Page "James Tiptree, Jr." Paragraph 16

Before the revelation of Sheldon's identity, Tiptree was often referred to as an unusually macho male ( see, e. g., Robert Silverberg's commentaries ) as well as an unusually feminist science fiction writer ( for a male ) — particularly for " The Women Men Don't See ", a story of two women who go looking for aliens to escape from male-dominated society on Earth.

However, Sheldon's view of sexual politics could be ambiguous, as in the ending of " Houston, Houston, Do You Read ?," where a society of female clones must deal with three time-traveling male astronauts.
