I actually went back to my Goodreads to try to find it but I was on a bit of a classic sci-fi bender at the time so the majority fit the bill I'm trying to think of anything more specific about the plot other than how bewildered it left me

Super crazy curious now. So this guy thought a perceived gender divide prevented to from 'getting' this classic Sci Fi book?

The book was brave new world by Aldous Huxley. I just didn't enjoy it. It just wasn't for me. I had read A Handmaid's tale, 1984, Fahrenheit 451 and I preferred those.
