* [[Do Not Adjust Your Set]]: Your radio set, anyway.
* [[Don't Think Feel]]: [[Deconstruction|Deconstructed]]. The villains of the piece base their economic policies on emotionalism and feelings and (what they call) 'love for others'.

* [[Double Standard]]: Within the world of the novel. Dr. Ferris lampshades this when he [[Blackmail|threatens]] Hank Rearden with the public revelation of his affair with Dagny, mentioning that Rearden's own "conquest" would be perceived as [[A Man Is Not a Virgin|normal]], even admirable by some, while Dagny would be seen as a slut and be totally dishonoured. The fear of tarnishing Dagny's good name is exactly what drives Rearden to cave in to the looters' demands. Possibly averted when Dagny ''proudly'' declares on public radio how she has been Rearden's mistress, and actually receives some ''admiration''.
* [[Driving Question]]: The [[Arc Words]].
