The topic this week was another question from a listener of the show asking about Ayn Rand’s views on gender issues such as hero-worship, femininity, a woman president, and homosexuality. For her own words, I would suggest checking out the Ayn Rand Lexicon.
The first point to be made here is that Ayn Rand’s views on these issues are not to be taken as a part of Objectivism, but as an application of Objectivism according to her understanding of psychology.
Mosley and Arthur share their thoughts on her views, and express some of their own views on these topics as well. They also reference Dr. Peikoff who discusses Ayn Rand’s views as well as his own on many of these issues in an informal Q & A entitled Love, Sex, and Romance which is available at the Ayn Rand Bookstore. Also, you can hear Dr. Peikoff’s views on homosexuality in Episode 14 of his podcasts (which are now available on iTunes thanks to Arthur).
