This is one of the better "women of the far right" articles I've seen in a while. In brief: by this point in the MAGA trajectory, men in the movement have given up on maintaining the slightest pretense of giving a shit about or even being basically tolerant of women, and there's now a whole cadre of women who are movement veterans and who have started (all too slowly) to realize that, no, being the token Other who dutifully shits on every other Other for a living won't actually save you from their deep, visceral loathing.

Here's a summary passage of the dynamics at play:

The New Right’s approach to women is a pincer movement: On one side are reactionary traditionalists attempting to reestablish women’s abject dependence on men and marriage; on the other are champions of male sexual license and domination, encouraging young men to see women as subhuman playthings. Taken together, Anna says, the MAGA movement is “insisting that women subject themselves entirely to male authority, while advertising that male authority will be cruel and vicious and fickle.” In reality, they’re all on the same team.

(Incidentally, there have now been at least three different movements over the past 60 years or so in the US alone that have been more or less widely identified as "the New Right". And that's without mentioning the French New Right, the German New Right, and whatever other national trend has been blessed with the [often euphemistic] "New Right" label. They're all basically cousins of one another, but they're distinct enough that it would be hard to really imagine, for instance, William F. Buckley in the same camp as the "anti-colonial" wing of the German New Right in the 1970s-80s. So it's sort of confusing, and it'd be great if we could be a bit more precise/creative/descriptive when we talk about this stuff. But at least for the time being, I think it's sufficient to lump Nick Fuentes, Tucker Carlson, Andrew Tate, and Pete Hegseth together simply as MAGA in this context, even if each of them also represents other movements as well. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.)
