The MAGA movement would be nothing without misogyny.
From Salon:
MAGA is not for ladies.
GOP women are supposed to be sexy but chaste, aggressive but submissive. It is a conundrum that can't be beat
.................
Put more simply: The lady MAGA is expected to be sexy, to thrill the boorish desires of her Trumpian audience, but also chaste, to prove her "Christian" bona fides. She is supposed to be a loud-mouthed troll, which is the lingua franca of the movement, but also to remember that her role as a woman is to be accommodating, submissive and placating to men.

The MAGA movement would be nothing without misogyny. Male resentment over women's growing equality is what propelled Trump to victory over Hillary Clinton. Misogyny is the main MAGA recruitment tool, especially with young men. It's why ending abortion rights is their lodestar, even as it's incredibly unpopular. January 6 was an event where a group called the "Proud Boys" roamed Congress in hopes of assaulting female Democrats like Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York. Along with racism and queerphobia, hating women is central to the MAGA brand. Of course there would be hard limits put on how far women could go with the movement. Not that anyone should pity them. They sold out other women for their own gain, making this a case of just desserts.
