Do you think there is really a difference between liberalism and libertarianism?

No, libertarianism holds the classic principles of liberalism which involve free enterprise and freedom of choice, terminology only differs depending on which side of the atlantic you lie on.

Yes, libertarians are far more laissez-faire/free trade while liberals want to see a more regulated economy that leans more to the left or, depending on your point of view, less to the right.

Yes, liberals are more authoritarian in terms of both economic and social policies and want to forcefeed people their beliefs while libertarians just let everybody act how they please.

Yes, libertarians are more authoritarian in terms of social policy because they are not willing to correct the problems and injustices of society, they would rather pander to the right.

Does liberalism necessarily imply effeminacy or weakness?

No, it's just common sense.

Yeah, but only because it is a silly stereotype in American culture.

Yeah, those liberals are wimps.
