Just about all of the problems that plague other genres can also crop up in science fiction, which has its own problems. Romances may be overtaken by developments in gender politics, but the science fiction of the 1950s was not notable for being advanced; when I read Asimov stories from that period I'm as likely to be struck by the antiquated gender roles as by the antiquated ideas about computers.
