For a long time the female orgasm was denied or ignored by science and mainstream society. Being a clitoris denier is like, a small bit further than that. In general though, nothing surprises me anymore. There's so many incredibly stupid people out there it's gob smacking.

This could also be really surreptitiously sarcastic too. Idk.

    Lol I haven't read any of Victor Hugo so I wouldn't know, but it's at least been good practice for speeding up my reading by looking at what's actually important. Kim Stanley Robinson does a phenomenal job of recounting geography (areography) and routes that I unfortunately have no point of reference for, but they honestly matter very little beyond "this is in the north, this is in the middle, this is in the south".

    Ministry for the future looks good.

    Some parts of the mars series are definitely a slog, I feel like that's almost inevitable with books that change to the perspective of different characters a lot. Some characters just aren't as interesting as others or they suck as a person and I don't really care about what they think. But so far in this series I've liked the ideas that have developed and I think the setting is really interesting.
