Why are there no female libertarians?

[Ghost_In_A_Shell]

That premise is loaded with error because there arent that many libertarians to begin with but among them there are indeed some women..ergo the question should be
"why are there not as many female libertarians"

I postulate the following..first libertarian-ism takes alot of abstract thought,imagination and analysis..fields women typically dont excel in..Women just cant or dont usually like to think that deeply about abstract subjects..can the average person recall any other prominent female philosopher other than Ayn rand ?

Second libertarian ism is ideologically opposed to modern feminism since modern feminism is about diverting the power of the state to serve womens objectives, Things like alimony,child support redistribution and state funded womens shelters and programs are not libertarian goals

Third if we accept that the female mind works differently then its easy to see females tend to be more pragmatic and take far fewer risks than men ...
Millions of years of evolution have conditioned men and women's minds to work differently..this can easily be seen by how dangerous careers tend to be male dominated
The thing about unlimited freedom is that its heights are limitless, and its lows are bottomless.Libertarians must accept that risk that they can succeed spectacularly or end up a nameless skeleton at the bottom of a ditch.
Women look at that hobbesian world where the strong survive and the weak may freeze or starve to death and are horrified at the possibilities so they tend to prefer the relative safety of collectivist systems despite the trade offs.

Firstly, the whole Libertarian and tea party "grassroots" ( i say this in qoutes becuase we all know who they are funded by)movement in general is just an ripoff delivered to unsuspecting voters that if we all just cut off all government programming and stop regulating business ,everything will be fine and fukking dandy. They tell the poor sheep who elected them that the government is spending to much, that the budget needs 'balancing' while taking corporate handjobs that come in the form of donations that may be either given directly at campaigns or in the form of a little lobbyist. But in exchange for this handjob, the said politician must cut certain programs or elliminate spending all together so the employer that sends the lobbyist or gave the donation a tax break despite the millions that they already have. But never mind all of the WOMEN AND CHILDREN who depend on those programs and institutions like planned parenthood and public schooling, right?

Explain first why its a problem....

Women have evolved to be collectivists..thats why there are barely any female hermits,even womens prisons dont use long term solitary confinent as often as mens prisons because it causes them far more harm.

Any ideology that embraces individualism is not gonna be an easy sell

Its common sense which one will most women choose "Live free or die" or the liberals feel good "we are the world"and "lets make a global village and raise each others kids"

In the area where you live, would you let our daughter go to public school? and why is that?

You really should qualify this as YOUR OPINION...and its ill informed...the two have nothing in common first and second Libertarianism as an Ideology is much much older than the tea party and even as a political party its current incarnation is from the late 1960s

They arent "funded"by the same people and they dont have the same goals..The tea party platform itself lacks coherence like every other "astroturf "movement ( OWS,BLM )

perhaps you should familiarize yourself with this topic a bit more before discussing it so vehemently

Honestly those seem to be criticisms of the Tea party...what youre doing here is a strawman argument

A straw man is a common form of argument and is an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting anargument that was not advanced by that opponent

There are real critcisms of libertarianism but they arent among the ones you posted..

whatever you say;

The Tea Party movement is an American political movement known for its conservative positions and its role in the Republican Party. Members of the movement have called for a reduction of the U.S. national debt andfederal budget deficit by reducing government spending, and for lower taxes.[1][2] The movement opposes government-sponsored universal healthcare[3] and has been described as a mixture of libertarian,[4]populist,[5]and conservative activism.[6] It has sponsored multiple protests and supported various political candidates since 2009.[7][8][9] Various polls have found that slightly over 10% of Americans identify as members.[10]

I see we have a problem with basic literacy as well..i took the liberty(pun intended) of highlighting the relevant portion of your very own post and here is what i said about the tea party

The tea party platform itself lacks coherence like every other "astroturf "movement ( OWS,BLM )

Merriam‑Webster
lacking coherence: as a : lacking cohesion : loose b : lacking orderly continuity, ... or relevance : inconsistent <an incoherent essay> c : lacking normal clarity


Any more questions?

and the tea party and the libertarian movement are totally unrelated? Interesting? Sway tell me how they are different?

And you have not addressed what i provided. You said it was not libertarian. Matter of fact, ron paul , a libertarian, is said to have been the brain of the tea party movement. also I got to get on your dishonest shyt.

Lord help us all...If in a forum called HIGHER LEARNING ...where i provided links to the Libertarian Party and its history..i still have to explain to you how they are not the Tea party.

Maybe i should start using sesame street puppets.

I will keep this short and simple as possible..the tea party is an inconsistent mix of Anger,hate for Obama and a ragtag assortment populism with lots of other things...Had you kept on reading YOUR VERY OWN LINK you would have seen this

The Tea Party does not have a single uniform agenda. The decentralized character of the Tea Party, with its lack of formal structure or hierarchy, allows each autonomous group to set its own priorities and goals. Goals may conflict, and priorities will often differ between groups. Many Tea Party organizers see this as a strength rather than a weakness, as decentralization has helped to immunize the Tea Party against co-opting by outside entities and corruption from within

Go through it slowly..take your time...now understand that just because they embrace some libertarian rhetoric doesnt make them libertarians...in fact nobody knows what they really are
got it

good.


ron paul what? ..you could argue the tea party was inspired by him but their public face and spokeswoman was Sarah Palin....how can anyone forget that ..how many lotuses have you been eating??
and you have some nerve calling anyone dishonest...why dont you show me some receipts where the Koch brothers are funding the Libertarian Party like you claimed..lets see who is being fast and loose with the truth.

ill wait

Really, there are two libertarian parties? Really sway? really?

So? This thread's based about ideological Libertarians. If you wanna argue that the Koch Brothers' basic ideological stance of less gov't + gay rights + military withdrawals are separate from the basic concepts of Libertarianism as it's practiced in the US, by all means, go ahead. I'm saying that the Koch Brothers are fundamentally Libertarian in thought. If you wanna to that and hold to a semantic firewall of Libertarian Party activity, I think you're picking your ground carefully very intentionally.
