103. Be thankful it wasn't the Fountainhead
which includes Rand's take on male/female relationships, including the news that professional women secretly long to be raped by working class studs.

"But the act of a master taking shameful, contemptuous possession of her was the kind of rapture she wanted... I've been raped by some redhooded hoodlum from a stone quarry... Through the fierce sense of humiliation, the words gave her the same kind of pleasure she had felt in his arms."

Aside from the fact that the writing is the worst sort of Harlequin Romance Bodice ripper prose, she really does have a thing about putting uppity women in their place.

This no doubt confirms many a male Teabagger's fantasy about what women "really want."
