- Dr. Susan Calvin, robopsychologist (from I, Robot by Isaac Asimov)

1950 was a different time, much more socially rigid.

Edit: I'm surprised the post went through, that title is long!

Authors write characters with varied viewpoints that are not necessarily shared by the author. If they didn't books would be horribly monotonous and without conflict. You can't say for certain that those are Asimov's personal views, this character (Dr. Susan Calvin, a robopsychologist) might be representing the dominant social attitude at the time of writing.

What makes you think this character's quote embodies the message of the whole book?
