I disagree. Maybe control was one of the things she liked. But remember, this was the author of Anthem and We, the Living. Both of them were very positive, sexually, as I recall.

I also remember how poignant Anthem was to me, when I was a teenager, grappling with the repressive, McCarthy-esque, racist, sexist, 1960's, and the scene in We, The Living, where the girl who wasn't Kira, can't remember name, was dying, and says something like, this is the only life I'll ever have, and no one but me cares whether I live or die.

Maybe later she was about control, but not at the beginning, IMHO.

Perhaps that is why some men were attracted to her.

Her observations on the life and tragic death of Marilyn Monroe, who was one of her friends, was brilliant.
