Since journalism! Here is his take quoted directly

[On the failure of libertarian politics]

The decade that followed — the roaring 1920s — was so strong that historians have forgotten the depression that started it. The 1920s were the last decade in American history during which one could be genuinely optimistic about politics. Since 1920, the vast increase in welfare beneficiaries and the extension of the franchise to women — two constituencies that are notoriously tough for libertarians — have rendered the notion of “capitalist democracy” into an oxymoron.

And his ““clarification”” of the obvious misogynism in the original.

It would be absurd to suggest that women’s votes will be taken away or that this would solve the political problems that vex us. While I don’t think any class of people should be disenfranchised, I have little hope that voting will make things better.

Emphasis mine. You’re to telling me, that even in the beginning questioning the notion of womens suffrage isn’t inherently misogynistic. And then follows that up with “nono we shouldn’t disenfranchise, BUT I don’t believe in democracy anyway” for his retort. I would love to live in your alternate reality where you can defend Thiel to begin with… I thought MLs want to eat the rich.
