Never Entirely

“Women are never to be entirely trusted,—not the best of them.”  ~Sherlock Holmes

I'm re-reading the Sherlock Holmes stories, and this time through it's jarring how misogynistic and racist the stories are.  I'm only two stories in, and so far he has casually disparaged women, Blacks, Asians, Pacific Islanders, Muslims, Hindus, and Mormons.
