Did you read the entire article you cite, or did you just get stuck on one paragraph?

> "In our time, the great task for libertarians is to find an escape from politics in all its forms — from the totalitarian and fundamentalist catastrophes to the unthinking demos that guides so-called “social democracy.”"

The piece is arguing that ANY government system of politics: democracy, theocracy, communism, or whatever is not compatible in the long term with true 'freedom' as he envisions it, and he is looking towards technology to remedy this problem.

You may not agree with him that a world without a government is a good idea, but make that argument instead of trying to twist what he wrote into some sexist fascist diatribe.

Then why would he bring up women's suffrage specifically other than 'groups who in aggregrate don't vote the way I think they should, should have the ability to vote taken away'?

Like, he specifically brings up the 20s as a positive example.

> taken away

Stop right there. He does not want to take away votes. He wants to take away the government entirely. Neither males or females would have anything to vote for because there is no longer a government.

His whole argument is spent looking back at a time when certain folk couldn't vote with a positive light.
