I mean doesn't she pretty much advocate rape in her books "The Fucked-in-the-head" and "Atlas Sharted"?

(46,130 posts)1. In "The Fountainhead", Dominique is raped by protagonist, Howard Roark.
Read into it. Dominique has dominated all men before Howard Roark. He not only rapes her, but gets her dirty, literally. She has now been dominated and loves him for it. Rand makes it sound like the ultimate sex experience.

It is common knowledge; that there are still white people, especially, white men, who believe that non whites or females of any type, have no rights, that they're bound to respect or honor. With them, it's all about, race, rank and privilege. Ex: The raping of Essie Mae Williams's mother, by Strom Thurmond. The next time, you want to really understand what legitimate rape is, in the mind of white men, look around and notice the number mulatto people in your mists.

bled their patients.
