I don't think Lewis can be exempted from criticism - though I take Squatter's point that what Lewis is attacking is Susan's materialism, rather than her sexual maturity. For one thing, Lewis chose one of his female characters to be cast into outer darkness rather than one of the males.
Of course, The Last Battle is seriously weird anyway, & I wouldn't have been surprised if Susan had been kept out of Paradise for an unhealthy obsession with rabbit hutches ... if you ask me, she was well out of the whole thing.
