The transgenders agreeing in the comments 😂 as if they have so many women wanting to fuck them that they even have the option to choose. Must be a hard life having to be day and night rejecting lesbians, oh yeah the lesbians don’t give them a break.

The comment thread on “TERFs” being obsessive Ayn Rand fans is something else. Every single lesbian I know irl is a terf to them because she won’t fuck a male. Yet, I haven’t ever encountered a single, solitary lesbian who’s an aggressive Ayn Rand fan girl with multiple copies of her works.

But, like, have they even read Rand? Or are they just piling on the hate because “Reddit says Rand is bad and TERFs are bad so obviously TERFs love Ayn Rand”

I'm guessing they haven't even read any of her work, or if they did, they didn't bother trying to understand it. I think it's just Reddit's habit of bandwagoning on hating things even if you aren't familiar with them

I’ve never read anything by Ayn Rand (I don’t think she’s very popular over here) but I know Reddit has a hate boner for her. What’s the TL;DR?

Very Libertarian philosopher whose main reasoning was that unproductive people, the government, wish to steal the labor of productive people, the capitalists, and they hide behind the concept of alturism to do it. Not all her points were great not all were bad, but she isn't considered a controversial writer... just a really bad writer. Because although her philosophical reasoning isn't terrible, her writing really is. It's rare to meet a libertarian who actually likes Atlas Shrugged.

Where they're getting this connection with Ayn Rand to Radical Feminists is really beyond me, though. I think it's a product of the hive-mind churning up faux hate for anything to the right of whatever political opinions twitter tells them to have that particular week.

One of the flagships of libertarians. Basically anti government, anti social system, anti any kind of protection for the most vulnerables in our society, which she despised anyway.

Most of reddit probably hasn't read her rags, but they're accidentally right on the issue.

Ok, that’s a 24 sec clip taken from a 30 min interview. That’s part of a broader clip where she’s explaining that she loves her husband for his virtues, not his weaknesses...

That context does not redeem the sentence "the weaks are unworthy of love", it just means she thought her husband was not a part of that group, however she defined it.

Oh they would hate rand. I mean, the TERF said there’s an objective reality that can be known through reason! That’s TERF rhetoric!

It's a sad day when 'there is an objective reality' is a controversial statement outside philosophy departments.

Well.... I'm about to ruin your day, cause that statement is probably most controversial in philosophy departments...

That's what I meant. In philosophy departments it's expected to be a controversial statement for complicated philosophical reasons ordinary people don't understand.

Outside philosophy departments it shouldn't be controversial to call something that looks, swims, and quacks like a duck, a duck.
