2016 Postmortem

Libertarian darling Julia Borowski explaining the reason for the lack of female Libertarians
"Why aren't there more female Libertarians? Because Libertarianism is not part of popular culture yet. Let's be honest here. Women tend to be more concerned with being socially accepted & fitting in with their peers. They don't want to be associated with something considered outside the mainstream.
Pop culture tells women that its normal, it's trendy, it's good to be a liberal.
Take these popular women's magazines. Full of liberal propaganda. On the front, in big font, they always say, "Sex! Butts! Orgasms!..."
"... Not only do these magazines promote the liberal feminist view, that casual sex is empowering to women - no it's not."
I don't even know whether to take offense, or laugh.

I thought "Sex! Butts! Orgasms!" was meant to be part of libertarianism

You know what, I don't even think most of them are actually real libertarians...

Remember, these are the same idiots who support the misogyny of "evolutionary psychology".

A hideous implication: women cannot think for themselves, but it isn't fashionable to be libertarian
