Some members of the New Right would attribute the increased economic power of women–and to them, the decline of the traditional family–to the failures of neoliberal economics. Their response is a combination of universal tariffs and deportations. The former is designed to revive dead or dying manufacturing and mineral extraction industries that mostly employ men; the latter is intended to create labor shortages. Put together, the idea is to create additional demand, and higher wages, for men, which will make them more desirable marriage candidates, which will lead to traditional families with one male wage earner, which will bring back the 1950s. Goodbye, childless cat ladies!
I have previously listed the reasons why the tariffs and deportations are likely to fail in their objective, so the return to the 1950s is unlikely to occur; instead, we will have higher inflation, failing businesses, and higher interest rates. In addition, many of the well-educated cat ladies like their lives just the way they are. Is it plausible that they will seek men with manufacturing jobs as mates to avoid working for a living when they actually find their work fulfilling and enjoy their independence? I think not.
