Is it not reasonable to summarize Thiels comments as “as a result of women obtaining the vote, america has become worse off”?
Taking the leap to presume that he thinks it would be better if women never got the right to vote, isn’t that unreasonable.
- zozbot234 5y agoIt's deeply unfair, because Thiel never pretended to comprehensively summarize the consequences of women's suffrage, and sum them up as an overall judgment of the sort "America has become better/worse off". His argument is strictly about the prospects for the formerly better-represented variety of libertarian/classical liberal politics. Even if you think "less capitalism" is per se undesirable, there can be countervailing benefits.
