Zelazny for me remains one of the big writers in the US SF New Wave scene who I adored and practically got by heart growing up, and the sexism and general sixties attitudes make him almost unreadable now. It's not the Suck Fairy exactly, bc the writing doesn't suck. (Sturgeon is another one. Also Silverberg.)
