She said a serial killer was the ideal man

"In 1928, just two years after Ayn Rand arrived in the U.S. from Soviet Russia and settled in Los Angeles, she scribbled diary notes in her brand-new language that formed a story she called The Little Street. Its protagonist, Danny Renahan, is modeled on a real-life Los Angeles murderer, 19-year-old William Hickman, who strangled and dismembered a girl in a kidnapping-for-ransom gone awry." https://time.com/3951166/ayn-rand-ideal-fountainhead/

So, I guess she would have been fine if Hickman had done the same thing to her?

This is the philosophy these fools follow.
