quote [ Asimov’s biographer Michael White quotes “a friend’s wife” who was pinched at a party: “God, Asimov, why do you always do that? It is extremely painful and besides, don’t you realize, it’s very degrading.” ]

Not shocked. As they say in the article, a product of his times. But that doesn't make it right.
