It's worth taking a moment to dwell on the "defence" #Leyonhjelm is gradually constructing in his media appearances.
Remember that #Leyonhjelm generally has 3 countermoves:
a) appeal to a Back-of-the-Cornflakes-box version of libertarianism
b) impugning the motives of opponents (because he genuinely can’t understand moral motives other than individual preference-maximisation)
c) name-calling
a) appeal to a Back-of-the-Cornflakes-box version of libertarianism

c) name-calling
Now his “misandry” nonsense might look like a mix of b) and c). But in fact he’s starting to put together a version of a). And it’s telling why he might need to do so.
