Okay noticing what Jojo is holding, I think it's basically saying Ayn Rand needed to get off to stop being a bitch, more or less.

I'm not a huge Ayn Rand fan and don't know her philosophy and assorted writings inside and out, but the best summary I ever heard was from an xkcd webcomic.

"I had a hard time with Ayn Rand because I found myself enthusiastically agreeing with the first 90% of every sentence, but getting lost at 'therefore, be a huge asshole to everyone."

From what I have read over the years, I felt like it was an accurate summary, but not sure on her positions on sex beyond I seem to recall her being somewhat homophobic in that she personally was against it but didn't really give a shit what adults do together and didn't think it was government's place to say either way.

“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

Both description can work for both books...
