@bmacDonald94 That's a problem with no solution that I know of! (tl:dr the best authors etc are often not uniformly good people)
*Steps on soapbox*
Look at how Tolstoy treated his family, or Dickens, or Ghandi! I would still read them or consider their good work valid while still condemning their awfulness as family people. One of my favorites is E. F. Schumacher: he had great ideas! but he seemed to think women should be doing all household tasks while men went about happily living in a small beautiful world. Or the writer Wendell Berry: he writes great stuff! But I met him and then he made a presentation where he claimed that women are "more earthy, more in touch with the body and its functions and more tied to nature's cycle" which is at best a gross generalization and also a mindset that allows women to be excluded from less earthy thoughts. ARGH!
*So now I'll get off my soapbox*
