Yes, he's observing a trend and comparing its results to the ideal “capitalist democracy” that Thiel wish existed. Women, in general, aren't very libertarian especially on fiscal issues. He's not saying their rights should be taken away. I'll admit, it isn't the best worded statement in the world.
- your-nanny 8y agoHe isn't saying that they ought to never have been granted?
- jstanley 8y agoNo, he isn't saying that.
- babygoat 8y agoOf course not. He's just invoking all of those elements in a provocative sounding statement for no particular reason.
- deadmetheny 8y agoHe's saying that women tend not to be libertarians, which is a large enough block of people to where it's very difficult to implement libertarian policies to law. There's no implication that women shouldn't be allowed to vote or women's suffrage was a mistake, it's just a really awkwardly worded statement.
- knuththetruth 8y agoDescribing your “ideal society” and then depicting one group, especially one who was politically and socially disempowered at the time, as an obstacle to it is called scapegoating. Historically, this ideology has had some very bad consequences.
