Block - Silver Lining Part IV: Term Limits and Female Politicians - Um, what?

[Wheylous]

In his book here:

http://library.mises.org/media/Our%20Enemy,%20Inflation/The%20Case%20for%20Discrimination%20Walter%20Block.pdf

He has an article “Silver Lining Part IV: Term Limits and Female Politicians” where he argues that term limits are good because they limit the number of women in office. He then goes on an attack against liberals who think that a just society would have genders and races represented equally in our governing bodies. And for some reason it appears that this is his reason for why fewer women in politics is a good thing. What? He wants to stick it to the liberals?

Am I missing something?

Did you miss this? p. 40

On the economic front, it is clear that women on average favor social
welfare schemes more than do men, and I extrapolate from females in
general to their sister politicians. It is surely no accident that programs
such as social security, welfare, and unemployment insurance came
after the “weaker sex” was given the right to vote.

[Wheylous]

So fewer women should be in the legislature because they push for welfare programs? Is there any evidence that women were driving forces behind SS, welfare, Unemp? Or is this just his “surely”.

It’s OK, he wants fewer men in office too.
