> I absolutely adored Asimov as a writer of non-fiction rather than as a sci-fi author.

I am the same, though frustratingly he still somehow managed to weave his casual misogyny into even his non-fiction works.

This would be a much more appreciated comment if it included even one example.

I’m willing to believe it, but I didn’t notice any in the time I was reading his fiction.

I don't know if it says good or bad things about me, but I never noticed that.

But maybe it's just because I started reading his works long after their initial release. In particular, I was quite surprised to later learn that "Asimov's New Guide to Science" was originally published as "The Intelligent Man's Guide to Science".
