How can you enjoy any story, really get into it, forget everything around you and enjoy the pure blissfulness of being transported into another world, if you judge every paragraph, every word by your prism of gender issues or political correctness?

Simple answer...You cannot. If you read a book and have to examine everything in case there is something there that might bother you, you may as well stop reading.
To me, I read and if something bothers me, I try to let it go and go on. If I find that it bothers me too much or there are more things that bother me, I'll stop reading. But I won't examine every little thing. It has to be a pretty big thing.
King Solomon's Mines is book I have read and did not like. I know it was written a very long time ago when things were different. But, I found I didn't like it. What was different back then was most of what it was I didn't like. I didn't go looking for things to like/dislike. It just was there.
