  FIOAR Discussion - Paglia & Sheaffer
While Paglia is not participating in this discussion, Sheaffer surely is! So I would like to invite Robert to say a few words about his essay--why he wrote it, and what he hoped to accomplish with it.
Paglia surely thinks that Rand has been neglected in women's studies (and it would be good to address this aspect of her essay here), but many have doubted Paglia's own "feminist" credentials.
Brown, and the other contributors who have discussed it, suggest that Rand must have been suffering from some sort of temporary insanity or social brainwashing when she wrote that essay.

 New Discoveries Concerning the Early History of the Sheaffer Pen Company, Part I
From the outside, single-bar Sheaffers can be identified by their levers, which were significantly wider and somewhat longer than their later counterparts, and were set close to the end of the barrel, so close, that in some cases they could not be operated when the cap was posted (774.464, 848.538).
According to Sheaffer’s testimony, only one or two complete models were made up for his original 1908 patent; these differed from the production pens in using two transverse pins through the barrel to hold the pressure bar instead of an inserted end piece (521.111, 687.377, 892.582).
Sheaffer claimed this was due to the impact of the war on sales, yet it is a matter of record that Sheaffer also began making its own holders around the same time.

 penspotters :: Sheaffer Pen
Sheaffer was one of the "Big Four" American penmakers of the classic era, and is probably the only one that today survives in anything close to its original configuration (at least for now).
Sheaffer was to learn what nearly all modern inventors now know: that a patent is not an absolute protection for your good ideas, but is at best a delaying action to keep the competition at bay until you can move on to the next big innovation.
Sheaffer's first departure from the old faithful lever filler came in 1935 with the introduction of the sacless Vac-Fil models, which were sold alongside the more conventional lever fillers (Sheaffer had introduced this plunger-fill system in its Wasp brand the year before).

 Robert Sheaffer Taken to Bits
The credits of this book tell us that Sheaffer is the author of two other books -- one, a debunking of UFO phenomenon; the other, apparently some sort of psychological speculation piece on the historical role of envy and resentment (this will come into play as we explore further).
According to Sheaffer, this was no problem: Very few people would remember that the Jews were able to execute people; likewise, in these backwards, savage, and primitive times, it was easy to get away with changing the story.
Sheaffer is quite simply anachronizing in applying modern thought-forms to the ancients.

 penspotters :: Sheaffer Balance
During this period, Sheaffer was never big on discrete model names, so with a few exceptions all pointy-ended pens from 1929 through 1940 or so are known to collectors simply as "Balances." Sheaffer kept the pens up to date stylistically, but through a process of gradual evolution rather than sudden change.
For the first 15 years or so, Triumph points were welded together from sheet gold, and then carefully milled and polished to hide the seam in the back; with the advent of the TM pens (after the Balance), the Triumph point was actually made from drawn gold tube, and became even stronger as a consequence.
In 1997 (for the company's 85th anniversary), Sheaffer released a limited edition reissue of the Balance; it was quite authentic, being equipped with a lever filler, and came packed in the obligatory steamer-trunk-sized wooden velvet-lined chest.

 [No title]
In 1930, Sheaffer introduced the taper-ended Balance, which set yet another industry trend for ‘streamlined’ pens, and was literally the shape of Sheaffers to come for the next three decades.
Sheaffer's first departure from the old faithful lever filler came in 1935 with the introduction of the sacless Vac-Fil models, which were sold alongside the more conventional lever fillers.
Sheaffer marketing materials pointed out smugly that the Vac-Fil, unlike Parker's popular Vacumatic, was truly a "sacless" pen since the Parker pen used an inverted rubber sac for a pressure diaphragm, and also informed salesmen that the Vac-Fil had up to 400% greater ink capacity than competitive models.

 Park Service to introduce new score card for parks (5/4/06) Government Executive
Sheaffer said the score card has seen only partial application since an early version was rolled out last year because the Park Service's fiscal 2006 budget did not include the increases the score card was designed to address.

Sheaffer said it is also a useful tool for field managers to assess how the Washington office evaluates their locations, and how they stack up compared to other parks in their regions.

 Reason Magazine - Hear Her Roar
Sheaffer argues that this theory was literally a rationalization of Rand's more fundamental Dionysian view of sexuality, expressed in the violence of her sex scenes.
In his most interesting argument, Sheaffer challenges Rand's assumption that her paradigm of femininity as the worship of a superior man would not preclude women from achieving any position except the presidency (which, Sheaffer astutely notes, Rand saw less in real-life terms than as a symbolic pinnacle of authority and accomplishment).
Sheaffer is undoubtedly right that her husband's lack of heroism was a disappointment to her; yet when she pursued an affair, it was with a younger man to whom she was a mentor and idol.
