Hi! How do you feel about feminism? And what if I am a feminist and share libertarian ideas? Will I be accepted into the libertarian party? And how comfortable will I be there (I’ve heard that many of you don’t like feminists)?

Hi!

The answer to this question was composed in close cooperation with a feminist friend)))

I feel positive toward feminism, although I do not consider myself part of the movement. I am for equality. Whether or not to share certain values and ideas is a personal matter for each individual, and I have nothing against it as long as the non-aggression principle is not violated.
Many in the party view the problems raised by feminism as a particular case of the problem of aggressive violence, seeing no value in categorizing these issues as a separate class. So, in principle, it is entirely possible to simultaneously hold feminist and libertarian ideas.

How comfortable will a feminist be in the LPR? They certainly won’t be lonely, because there are feminists in the party, but as for comfort, I can’t say—that is a rather subjective concept. There are some in the party who are absolutely livid with non-libertarian feminists, but there are very few of them.
