Thiel is against women having the right to vote because he doesn’t like who they vote for. Knowing this makes Thiel fans angry, because they worship wealth.

- casefields 6y agoThat's called nuance. In the Twitter age we don't got time for that. It's non-stop outrage baby!
- viburnum 6y agoYep, Thiel’s fans will make any excuse for him.
- dangus 6y agoI don’t think the full context makes him look much better. I don’t know how one argues that the full quote isn’t making the argument that women’s suffrage was a net negative. As we learned from people like Donald Trump, you don’t have to directly say sexist/racist things to be sexist/racist. Not only that, the idea being presented is completely unsubstantiated. It’s just lumping women into a group based on their possession of ovaries.
- Proven 6y agoI hold that against him, that he supports the idea of democracy in the first place.
