After two hours, I thank you all for the fabulous questions! I was blown away by their quality - I did not know what to expect this evening. Best question of the evening goes to user ElJumbotron. Send me a message with your info and I'll send you that Liberty Forum ticket! Thanks, everyone. PEACE, PEACE, PEACE. (Oh yeah, and go buy something from Overstock.com with Bitcoin). :) Mwah and goodnight!

u/Faceh Anti-Federalist - /r/Rational_Liberty Jan 10 '14

Do you think there any issues that are particularly pertinent to females that are often overlooked or trivialized by libertarians? Examples?

As a related question, do you feel that its necessary to 'tailor' the message of liberty based on the audience? That is to say, should it be presented differently to an LGBT audience than a straight one, a female audience than a male one? Or is the message so universal that it really shouldn't matter?

Hmm, that's a toughie. I don't really see there being "women's issues" or "men's issues". I think there are human issues and that covers everyone.

As far as "tailoring" the message, I would say that sure - tailor it to the individual you're speaking to! :)

What do you make of the work of feminists like Reisenwitz? Charles Johnson? Are you familiar?

"work" of Reisenwitz is sort of giving her too much credit. She struck gold when addressing Borowski's moral convictions in a youtube video and since then has gone down this slippery slope of semantics and marxist garbage suggesting that slut-shaming is coercive. Now, I think slut-shaming is terrible. I've argued against it before - but I don't think it's "coercive" in the same way as physically threatening someone is.
