He did it several places, but I was thinking of Number of the Beast when I wrote that post. All of his best/worst cliches were used there. The bouncy redheaded pirate girls on that space yacht. One of them used to be a boy, "Slipstick Libby" if I recall. Gender confusion aside, the fantasy of twin redheadeds got me through many teenage nights...
You really think Heinlein wrote believable characters? Sure he created INTERESTING characters, but believeable? His characters were two-dimensional macho-man stereotypes. Oversexed geniuses spouting half-baked libertarian claptrap. Gender-swapping pirates who walk around naked? Nymphomaniac housewives who collect PhDs and shag their own children? Dimension-hopping perverts who cavort with dragons and vacation in the land of Oz? Interesting, sure. Believable is another matter.
