It is to do with social programs and taxes. Libertarians are overwhelmingly white and male. Why this would be the case is interesting, it might be biology at work but let's stay on point. Women are overwhelmingly not libertarian. Therefore if 50% of the voters are in favour of social building programs then that is what government policy will enforce, forever, in a democracy. Whether this is morally/fiscally right or wrong is beside the point. Bluntly that women can vote means libertarian policies are impossible unless large numbers of women decide to become libertarians. You can be the judge of whether this is fair or not.
