Women are the problem, Carlson and Fuentes declare

“It’s the women,” conservative white nationalist influencer Nick Fuentes smugly declared on the Tucker Carlson show in response to Carlson asking why young people aren’t getting married these days.

“The men are extremely conservative, increasingly,” he intoned. “The women are extremely liberal.”

While it could be tempting to write these two off as clueless misogynists who should be ignored, unfortunately they can’t be described as irrelevant. In just the first 24 hours since their interview posted, they received more than 13 million views on X and another 2.6 million on YouTube. And the numbers are continuing to rise.

Tucker Carlson

Given the ascent of white sexist men in our current political climate, it’s probably safe to assume many of those views were sympathizers.

Lest anyone accuse me of name calling, Carlson himself openly admits in their interview, “I’m a little sexist.”

All these men who espouse patriarchy believe they’re being totally reasonable. But they also exist on a spectrum that goes from Only Fans producer Andrew Tate through Nick Fuentes and Tucker Carlson to mainstream complementarian men. All these men would try to differentiate themselves from the others as the true paragons of patriarchy. But when we examine their views of women, they’re all essentially in the same bed.

The thoughts and behavior of women

“How could you believe that?” the former Fox News star Tucker Carlson incredulously asked about feminists. “That gender roles are a construct, that none of this is in-born? Like, you’d have to be an idiot to think that.”

Apparently, the two of them must think women are idiots because Fuentes, who never has been married, responded by going on a rant about what women want and how women view themselves.

“The whole political system is just based around women never being accountable for any of their choices.”

“Of course I think all women naturally want strong men. They naturally want a Chad. They want like a tall, buff guy,” he began. “None of them want to work either. … They like these vague appeals to equality. ‘We want a chance to work! And we want respect!’ And ultimately, I think the whole political system is just based around women never being accountable for any of their choices. … I think a lot of men are looking at women and they’re very liberal, they’re overweight, they have a very high estimation of themselves. People call it ‘hoeflation.’ Their sense of their own looks and sexual value is very inflated. And so a lot of people are looking at these like frumpy, obnoxious, loudmouth, liberal women, who are also very promiscuous, and saying, ‘This is not actually appealing at all. And I don’t want to start a family with a person like this.’”

But in an attempt to thwart off any accusations of belittling and blaming women, Fuentes ultimately put the onus on men. “The one critique I have of the men,” Fuentes offered, “is they enable this behavior.”
