A Peter Thiel essay inexplicably not titled "The First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous Regiment of Women".

Since 1920, the vast increase in welfare beneficiaries and the extension of the franchise to women — two constituencies that are notoriously tough for libertarians — have rendered the notion of “capitalist democracy” into an oxymoron.


In libertarian, "welfare beneficiaries" is dog whistling for another term, right?

Associate Professor of Economics Bryan Caplan on women's freedom over the last century and a bit:

There's been a lot of pushback against my claim that women were freer during the Gilded Age than they are today. I'm standing my ground.


Will be triggery for some readers.

When I was at The Amazing Meeting, what was immediately obvious to me was that the movement is afraid of what they’d do without libertarians, in terms of numbers, and the problem with attracting libertarians is that you can’t offend their sexist/racist beliefs without them threatening to take their ball and go home. But because of this, the movement is missing a great opportunity to recruit women and people of color.
