For women especially, contempt for feminist pieties, if deftly channeled, could be one’s ticket to stardom. And what had feminism done for them recently, except tell them to work harder and feel bad for wanting to be skinny? Or worse: trick them into waiting too long to have babies? Now, a growing group of right-wing women — both prominent personalities and loyal foot soldiers — are waking up to find their inclusion in the MAGA movement was contingent. Sexism wasn’t merely the price of entry; it was the theme of the party.

OMG why did the leopard ate my face moment right there. Well at least they "get it" now.

This was such a fascinating article to read. Part of me was like "duh girl they are using you" because of the long history of grifters and users in the alt right. But at the same time you can't be a long-term grifter without being good.

The madonna / whore complex makes so much sense. They get used to thinking they are special, exceptions and not like the other girls. They are the perfect madonna but cracks forms and they toss them for a new better model.

Yup, they are pretty stupid to think that they are that "special". But at least they are waking up to the fact now.
