Trigger Warning for those sickened by Romance Novels for Teenaged Republicans

http://www.aynrandisdead.org/the-fountainhead/the-rape-scene-in-the-fountainhead/

Rand herself calls it "rape by engraved invitation". This was an action she wanted and Howard knew it. In the scene there are many sentences to support these contentions.

Rand writes, "She fought like an animal. But she made no sound. She did not call for help." The servants were quite nearby but she did not scream. Rand goes on to say, "He did it as an act of scorn. Not as love, but as defilement. And this made her lie still and submit. One gesture of tenderness from him - and she would have remained cold, untouched by the things done to her body. But the act of a master taking shameful, contemptuous possession of her was the kind of rapture she had wanted."


A favorite trashy novel of many Republican politicians-Trump, Tillerson, Rand
