I have to disagree with this, Natasha.
Rand's image of male-female relationships was certainly not something I'd
aspire to, although I appreciated certain aspects such as regarding sex as a
celebration of values rather than as shameful or manipulative. Regardless of
the shortcomings of Rand's ideas of male-female relationships, her female
characters such as Kira Argounova and Dagny Taggart were strong,
intelligent, exceptionally competent women who were capable of passionate
love for people, beauty, and ideas.
