I don't call myself a libertarian, I lean that way, but call myself a conservative.
libertarianism is bad because just like Marxism, it ignores the human equation. For instance, when can a father start having sex with his daughter? 5? 9? 18? Never? A libertarian purist will come back with some lame ass stuff about when she can enter into contract - while ignoring that the monopoly of state power determines when a person is able to enter into contracts. oops - you just might be a statist afterall.
Before you get into an argument with yourself Socrates, try this. A libertarian would be fine with this if both of the people are rational. In courts, it's easy to see that the burden of proof on proving that the child is rational is on the parent. If he cannot prove that the child is rational, then he cannot engage in this because she does not know what is best for her.
