I keep seeing people misspell "heroin" as "heroine".
Is this part of our patriarchal society? Subtly misspelling words, to conflate horrible drugs with accomplished females?
What other words have this sort of misspellings?

Hero was the girl, OP. Leander's the boy. They both died.
Heroin comes from the German "heroisch" combined with pharmaceutical branding conventions.
Heroine is just a result of Atticizing and Victorian flourish: especially heroḯne, a modern Greek cognate for heroin.
People confuse the three because they're retarded like you. You should write "these sorts" not "this sort".

Why should it be "these sorts"? It's one sort of misspelling, exemplified by OP. Am I wrong?

most obvious answer is the most likely.
people are just dumb. real dumb. and they are lucky to be able to spell words at all. And of the big one is that the spell-check doesn't put a red squiggly line under it so it must be right.
