Where are all the female libertarians???

Where are all the female libertarians? 

According to this lady, there aren't many.  Evolution has wired women differently from men.  Go here. 

Hmmmm....

Alternate explanation: maybe the ladies get bored hearing a bunch of guys sit around bitching about guns and cigars.

Just a suggestion...

Largely, IMO, because women are the primary beneficiaries of government transfer payments and legal privilege. When you're the one paying transfer payments and suffering adverse rulings in court, big government looks a lot more dangerous than it does to the folks on the other side of the ledger.

Since women are still paid on average 19% less than men for comparable work, I'm sure they feel extremely privileged.

Dr Ralph has been spending waaaay too much time listening to feminist ideologues and too little time paying attention to basic economics or the abundant evidence that the "wage gap" is entirely explained by the different choices that women make. Your 19% is based on straight averages, not "comparable work"

Tasha/WS - would you agree the question has been adequately answered?

I'm not about to step into this minefield. Just thought it was an interesting point of view.
However, most of the women at LP events seem to be with the party because of the social issue side of things rather than the economic side.
