Divine Irony: On Libertarianism - Freedom and Coercion
This may come as a surprise to you but everyone likes freedom. If you are not surprised then you might understand my frustration when I hear people using the word “freedom” to imply that their political opponents like slavery. However what exactly is meant by “freedom” is…
“Being born a woman is an awful tragedy… Yes, my consuming desire to mingle with road crews, sailors and soldiers, bar room regulars - to be a part of a scene, anonymous, listening, recording - all is spoiled by the fact that I am a girl, a female always in danger of assault and battery. My consuming interest in men and their lives is often misconstrued as a desire to seduce them, or as an invitation to intimacy. Yet, God, I want to talk to everybody I can as deeply as I can. I want to be able to sleep in an open field, to travel west, to walk freely at night…”
