Please tell me where in the Constitution it enumerates my rights based on my being male, and I'll concede the point. Otherwise, the Constitution already covers the issue.

Another point... you do realize that the law only addresses the government, right? Billy Bastard the chauvanist can still choose to discriminate on a personal level. All the law does is repeat the protections the Constitution already has in place.



Pure libertarianism has never been tried, but that's beside the point. I'm not even arguing for libertariansm... I'm arguing to preserve the basic rights of the individual. If someone wants to be a bigoted racist, I want them to be free to do so. Granted, I'd not shop at their business or buy their goods, but I do recognize their right to be that way.

The fun part about libertarianism, incidentally, is that is requires no compulsion. No one needs to die... everyone just needs to respect other people's property and rights. Out of ANY political philosophy, it is the only one that defaults to personal freedom.
