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.
