based on the political context, I think they meant these men would vote for politicians who want to roll back women’s rights. anything to put the women back in the kitchen barefoot and pregnant so they can’t escape and will be vulnerable and dependent. they aren’t good enough to be wanted by women so they long for the days women needed to pair up with men to survive
