"Trump insisted, in one late campaign appearance, that he would be a protector of women, 'whether the women like it or not.' The vice president–elect, J. D. Vance, was revealed to have personal disgust for child-free women, whom he had described as 'cat ladies' and 'sociopathic.' He’d also, on one podcast, affirmed that the entire function 'of the postmenopausal female' was caring for grandchildren. The super PAC founded by Elon Musk, who has shown great enthusiasm for personally inseminating women, released an ad referring to Kamala Harris as a 'C word.' (The ad, which was deleted a few days later, winkingly revealed the C to stand for 'Communist.') And on X, Musk himself reposted a theory that 'a Republic of high status males is best for decision making.' The former Fox News host Tucker Carlson excitedly compared Trump’s return to office to a strict father coming home to give his wayward daughter 'a vigorous spanking.'"
