Yeah. When she was 23. I guess you missed the memo, but I was a firefighter and competed in MMA throughout my 20s because I figured out in my teenager years that chicks dig danger and violence. It gets a little less pronounced as they age. But 23 year olds? Most definitely

Even if that were true, I'd be much less judgmental of someone who just admitted they had a problematic kink at that age rather than, as a completely grown-ass middle-aged woman, writing immense doorstopper rants about how only giant assholes are real men

Could there have been a level of protection? Could Howard Roark and John Galt be self-inserts of Ayn Rand?

Not really from reading an analysis of it and her works. She stated several times the believe in a superior man for women to admire and had more blatant inserts in Dagney and the cameo of ayn rand in galt's gulch

The fallout of the Frank O'Connor/Ayn Rand/Nathaniel Branden love triangle indicates she was a hypocrite She may have felt male dominance/female submission very strongly as a sexual kink, and encouraged her female fans to wreck their lives that way, but she didn't practice it

The evidence is in fact she was deeply uncomfortable in any relationship where she didn't ultimately have full control over the other person

So she thinks she's Dominique/Dagny, because she thinks Dagny is a hotter and sexier and cooler archetype for a woman to be But no she really is the John Galt of her own personal universe

Ha yeah if you wanna go there, Rand is much, much more similar to James Taggart than to Dagny She was incredibly dependent on Frank for emotional and financial support and just to run her life for her on a day to day level before she dumped him

Then she became incredibly dependent on Nathaniel Branden to run the Objectivism racket and try to turn her rants and rambles into a respectable system of thought etc It was really his baby more than hers, he was the Dagny and she was the James

The way she was ultimately at fault for blowing up both these relationships and ending her life as a lonely train wreck is very, very reminiscent of the words she used for James, that he was "determined to overcome and destroy that which he depended on most"
