To my astonishment (see what I did there), they all said they LOVED Ayn Rand. To this day, that surprises me because almost all of her views were diametrically opposed to those leftists.
They justified it by saying that she was a "strong woman". But if they thought it through,and they admired her, then they would NOT take the views on society that they did.
There was borderline rape and the “strong woman” loved it. Lol, leftist feminists. Although back in the 80s they weren’t like the ones today, who will sue you into oblivion if you try to ask them for sex.
Feminist in the 80s: I can be a strong woman and still appreciate an even stronger man.
Feminist today: We don’t need no stinkin man.
The problem with leftist feminists or leftists in general is they don’t understand basic economics. They’ve been indoctrinated to believe in a system of parasitism enforced by authoritarianism. That’s all leftism is: An economic system based on parasitism. A non-leftist understands that voluntary transactions and profit motive in the context of a truly free market result in the highest productivity and richest economy.
As far as I can tell, the biggest problem with a rich free market economy is that it allows people to become so comfortable and complacent that they forget where it all comes from and fail to guard their founding principles, allowing future generations (by taking over education) to be targeted by leftists who then undermine the whole system and here we are.
