…not out of empathy for women, obviously, but because they’re like: “Last thing I want is to get stuck with a kid if the condom breaks on a Tinder hookup! Or worse have condoms be illegal! Free morning after pills for all!”

    their parents tend to just pay to support the child - I’ve seen this happen with many frat-boy libertarians. hooks up with a girl, gets her pregnant, parents step in, suddenly they’re engaged and posting about their wedding on instagram & also buying a house despite both of them still being in school and not working. divorced in <10 years if they don’t wind up just having more children. many such cases

    Those guys evolved into Jordan Peterson “personal responsibility” types over the years, so they don’t really care these days

    there are plenty of those, the socially conservative libertarians have just successfully executed a coup recently, so they are much more visible

      socially conservative libertarians

      look either they’re anarchists – who are cool – or they’re temporarily embarrassed reactionaries. there’s no libertarianism without anticapitalism.

    The actual practical benefits of legal abortion aren’t as valuable to them as women Knowing Their Place as second-class human beings

      I honestly don’t think it’s malicious like that. Like only the evil little goblin men, the strivers, are thinking tactically and yearning to shape their perfect Back to the Future 2 evil timeline. The majority of them don’t really give a shit or just follow along with whatever their parents or church say, like most Americans.

      To be honest, I’m not even sure that what’s being brought up in the post is terribly accurate to reality anyways. I’ve met plenty of frat bros and while it’s not like they’re the core of the vanguard, they’re hardly all anti-choice libertarians. Except for the Ivy League ones of course, but those places deserve a little Cultural Revolution anyways
