Here's a truth universally acknowledged, but not always remembered: Views expressed by characters do not necessarily reflect those of the author. I've written characters who have said or thought sexist things, made snap judgements based on class, made unsupportable generalisations, or espoused views with which I vehemently disagree. Sometimes they're even likeable characters, people I've deliberately made sympathetic.
