Liberals raise their fists and shout workers rights, and equality for all.
Equal pay for women!!! Break the shackles of the domination of men. Kill the exploitation of women (even though men pay for the dinner when dating)!!!
Its also argued that since divorces are skyrocketing, single women with children depend more on public services from the state.
I looked up contributions made to Ron Paul and 80% were men, very interesting.
“80% were men, very interesting.”
Why? It’s sure as hell a sausage fest around here (begging your pardon Lady Saiga)
Frankly the overwhelming majority of people who I’ve ever met who are at all really interested in politics are men. I only know of a handful of women I’ve ever seen online who are political as well..
… It’s probably because their small feminine brains can’t handle the complacated thinkign that we have to use around here. That’s why, as a libertatarian, I support women having no rights in the workplace, except as secrataries, and staying at home and looking after children, you know, what god wanted them to do.

Welp, someone had to come out and say it. It’s official now.
Although there has been questioning of Mises on the same topic:

I tried to analyze the work as much as possible.

That may be one reason why I tend to find women more interesting than men.
Funny, when I saw that a previous poster couldn’t think of any libertarian women I immediately thought of Patterson and Wilder Lane and also Zora Neale Hurston and Mary Wollstonecraft. Suzanne Le Follette and Edith Efron also came to mind.
I would posit that part of the reason you see less libertarianism amongst women is because the issue of women’s rights appears to be settled.
Why hasn’t anyone thought of Ayn Rand? Or is she something else?
A small minority of people use reason to choose their ethical and political principles, and everyone else uses reason (if at all) only to find justification for principles which they’ve already come to through intuition. Among the former group, I expect there would be about as many female as male libertarians - as reason is reason regardless of the gender of the person using it. But among the latter group, where principles originate in individual psychology, I tend to think there are more male libertarians than female libertarians. Speaking in a very general way, I think men tend to be more individualistic than women. Men tend to be greater risk-takers than women. Women tend to be more empathetic than men. Women tend to cooperate, where men tend to compete.
