 Some criticism of classical-liberal feminism addresses the consequentialist argument offered in support of classical-liberal feminism. The consequentialist argument says that the political arrangements recommended by classical-liberalism, as compared with the alternatives, will provide women with more of what is good for them (see  §2.5).  Following Ashlie Warnick, we can distinguish the claim that particular liberty-restricting policies are bad for women (and that some liberty-enhancing policies are good for women) from the claim that all liberty-restricting policies harm women, or that a minimal state (or no state) would be better for women overall (Warnick 2003). It is surely possible to cite liberty-restricting policies that are bad for women—laws limiting women’s employment options—and thus to cite liberty-enhancing policies that are good for women—not having such laws. But it is also possible to cite liberty-restricting policies that are good for women—for example the legal prohibition against sex discrimination in employment, education, and public accommodations (which classical-liberal feminists recommend dismantling (see  §2.4)).  Of course, if sex discrimination is rare, as some classical-liberal feminists contend (see  §2.2.1),  laws prohibiting it will not produce much benefit. But, as egalitarian-liberal feminists Deborah Rhode and Ann Cudd argue, sex discrimination remains a significant problem (Rhode 1997: 156; Cudd 2006: 140–142). Think also of the classical-liberal feminist recommendation that women and men be treated exactly the same by the state (see  §2.1  and  §2.4).  While different treatment can stigmatize and entrench stereotypes, same treatment can disadvantage women if they are not similarly situated to men—which, arguably, is the case (Minow 1990). So the larger case—that all liberty-restricting policies harm women, or that a minimal state (or no state) would be better for women overall—has not been made convincingly (Warnick 2003). Another concern about the larger case is that much of the support offered is speculative, for example Roderick Long’s assertion that “the explosion of prosperity” classical liberal arrangements would bring about ”would go a long way toward providing women with an economic safety net more effective than any government welfare program” (Long 1997—see  Other Internet Resources).
