This dismissal of Eliot as both author and woman is, quite frankly, disgusting.

Firstly, Ayn Rand has excellent form. Considering that somebody must give a long philosophical speech every twenty pages, it is astonishing that her prose feels breezier than Stein or Eliot.
Secondly, a person who bases their understanding of libertarianism on Ayn Rand, never having read even Hayek or Nozick, or at least the earlier philosophy that informs their views, regardless of whether they consider themselves a libertarian or not, needs to shut the fuck up and sit the fuck down.
That said, I think that if George Eliot were never taught to read and had 12 children instead of writing Silas Marner and Daniel Deronda and shit, society would be better off.
