Recently I shared a substack post that argued **"DOGE is About Sex"** https://stacker.news/items/921208 the main premise being how Elon & Trumps economic goals were to make women more economically desperate such that women are more nudged to settle for mediocre and lonely men.
I do not think that tells the whole story about MAGA economics. Neither does the author CHH, I think.
But I think she's onto something. Here are 4 tweets I randomly encountered today that fit this narrative perfectly:
> Trump's trade war is partly about gender.
> As American manufacturing declined, men lost economic leverage over women. The nationalist right believes that this led to lower marriage and birth rates.

> Highly educated women will be completely out of the marriage market in next 5 years.
https://x.com/mshree01/status/1906316952613589038
> congratulations to boring men with stable jobs on becoming the next hot commodity

> The American economy is built around giving fake unproductive jobs to women, therefore we must destroy it

# Conclusion
Interestingly this thought seems to cross many peoples minds independently. Like Calculus was invented by Leibnitz and Newton simultaneous and independently.
It's also liberals and conservatives; men and women uttering these words.
I think this is super fascinating. Shoutout to the original post: https://www.cartoonshateher.com/p/doge-is-about-sex
