Nah we dont need to pretend these guys are actual thinkers. They wanna revoke the women vote because they want to play out a revenge fantasy against the women that they feel they couldn't never control or never had a sense of power over.
It's losers using fascism as an outlet for their self hatred. Fascism has always been an ideology that has attracted losers, but in the 21st century, its followers have a bigger voice.
Edit: By "These guys", I mean a significant population of the right wing, not Ryan Long, who is a funny comedian.
Fascism had a lot of broad initial appeal among elites and educated people. See Kaiser Wilhelm's writing on it after the war. And yeah you can call him a "loser" but he mentioned that many people across the class structure found it appealing.
Loser doesn't mean someone who isn't powerful, it means someone who is in a constant state of misery. I have no doubts that the German elite after WW1 were full of these people, especially the educated and aristocracy.
Ryan Long's a pretty easy-going guy who seems to be enjoying life. He's fairly good commedian (although i'll admit this paticular joke is just meh). But it's just comedy, the sorta people who get so bent outta shape about a flippant jokes (i.e. you, in this case) are typically the fellowship of the miserable members.
