I don't think you should claim he said that without inserting the actual quote in the interest of accuracy: > 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 the context, I believe he's claiming that women voting resulted in a distancing from libertarian values, which he disagrees with ideologically. There's a significant difference between that and claiming that "giving women the vote was a bad thing."
