The capitalist class
Answer
Rothbard, an anarcho-capitalist theorist, blamed women's voting and activism for the growth of the welfare state. He believed that women, by their nature, were more inclined to support state-sponsored programs that provided for the needs of others, such as welfare and social security. As a result, he argued that the enfranchisement of women had led to an expansion of the welfare state that was detrimental to individual liberty.
