Many of those guys will be right wing, to a greater or lesser degree. A lot of women, especially those who are less politically engaged, will prioritize the attraction over the politics. To the extent you were focusing on really political women getting involved with manosphere/incel men, yeah there’s probably more going on there and I don’t know enough about it to have an opinion.

A lot of times you just have a social worker who marries a finance bro, their politics moderate, and they live happily ever after but you never hear from them because they're too busy chasing kids to be on Xitter screaming at anyone.
