That's a good way to describe Ayn. I never could stand her. She's the epitome of woman as man. I can understand why some guys like her- she's just like them. Nothing maternal, nothing feminine. And quite frankly, the sex scenes she writes are just kind of creepy. They'd read much better if you turned the woman in to a guy, and just read them as homoerotica.

Weird woman, Ayn. Among famous writers I can't recall any characters more wooden than hers. There must be a few, but I can't recall them. A little humor would have served her well, but also, maybe, she needed a big dose of estrogen. If you read about her life it sounds like she wasn't very happy- again, maybe it was all just a hormone imbalance.
