on 02024-11-28in 02009 Peter #Thiel wrote that women getting the vote (female suffrage, fought for by suffragists sometimes called “suffragettes”) was bad for democracy on Cato Unbound: “Since 1920, the vast increase in welfare beneficiaries and the extension of the franchise to women — two constituencies that are notoriously tough for libertarians — have rendered the notion of “capitalist democracy” into an oxymoron,” later adding, “It would be absurd to suggest that women’s votes will be taken away or that this would solve the political problems that vex us. While I don’t think any class of people should be disenfranchised, I have little hope that voting will make things better.” #politics
