Quote from Ricter:
Rand was, apparently, guilty of something I saw in a lot of women, back in the days I was as prison guard. On visiting days some of the most gorgeous ladies would come in to visit our biggest assholes (no pun), that is, the inmates who had brains enough to do productive work but chose instead to assault and rob their way through life. These are a minority of inmates, mind you, but they were the ones with prettiest girlfriends by far.
There is a whole class of women out there who idolize the deviant. I'm told deathrow inmates get love letters and marriage proposals by the score, from complete strangers.
The difference with Rand though was that she also had an authoritarian background, and was a novelist.
interesting
