Sorry, there is nothing about equal opportunity in Libertarianism. If anything, it is against it. Libertarianism does nothing to equate chances of new born human. All that he is and will be is mostly determined by family he is born into. Ex

You see, you've stepped onto the ground rich with history and connotations. Growing up I saw in newspapers photos of children with flippers instead of legs. I've heard kids being called "Chernobyl kid" on streets by othe

Smart contract is basically a small script with defined triggering criteria and defined results. The main benefit - contract is executed by network, not by machine controlled by person or organisation. This minimises trust.

And you are conflating anti-feminism with misogyny. It's very hard not to be anti-feminist when NOW is sabotaging shared parenting[1]. Feminism can't be natural ally of mens' rights because it is actively pushing against it.
