She's old and dead. Even if you have relatively positive views on her, you have to disgree with some major stuff just to be a sane member of the young modern work force.
The people who made up the assembly that wrote the US Constitution, who have far more clout that Ayn Rand, didn't have the most enlightened views on sex relations either.
| DA Page | Sketchbook |It's not untrue that women can be misogynist and male supremacist. The tendency against the thought defies all the movements are supposed to stand for. That it's cultural that people become a certain way. I hate it when people try to bring essentialism into these factors. People working against their own interests is common in a society that promotes it.
And it's therefor not untrue the statement that "many women are as much the enemy of feminism as men". "Feminism" isn't about women's right to choice, and being unable to question them when they do things that hurt women. It's about equality.
Personally, I think women can make just as great of leaders as men. And that women should want to lead men.
Genkidama for Japan, even if you don't have money, you can help![1]Exactly!
Besides, in writing and propaganding her own philosophy, doesn't she attempt to lead men too?
(sigh) Hypocrisy should be considered a crime, really.

In this video, Ayn Rand says that there should never be a female president, because women should not want to lead men. I'm inclined to call BS on Rand. There are plenty of women already in positions where they lead various people, some of them men, from single mothers leading their sons to female CE Os leading their companies. If Ayn Rand has no problem with that, and she's said she doesn't, then what's the difference between that and a female president?
Yes, a female president would be commander-in-chief of the army. But most of the nation isn't the army, and most of the army isn't the male-only units. And even though there are male-only units in the army, the president doesn't have to serve in these units to be an effective president. Plenty of presidents were never in the army at all.
