I love Rand, not particularly as a source of anything anti-male, but more from knowing her background and the fact that she is, like or dislike the philosophy, a very articulate and intelligent writer with the ability to get her point (albeit on occasion long-winded) across to readers spanning many ages and socio-economic backgrounds.
How do you feel about Tolkien?

Oh, she's an okay writer. I'm either reading an author because I enjoy the style, or agree with the underlying ideas. In Rand's case, I find neither.
Never read Tolkien -- though he wrote a few blocks from where I live in Berkeley.
