A lot of "machismo" is simply rooted in claiming one part of an alleged binary and defining it as "masculine" - they do this with everything, including political parties.

If suddenly women were rabidly enthusiastic about conservative politics we'd have mobs of young, divorced men in the streets foisting a nordic demsoc reign of terror, replete with a "green new deal" upon us all.

Good points and agreed. Unfortunately it seems that a lot of women have also internalized machismo and chauvinism, and sometimes contribute to its continuation (at least based on some things I've read and even personally experienced in the past). It's a whole unfortunate system.

So if we could associate anti-communism with women and feminism in the popular consciousness, we'd have Bolshevik mobs of young men and divorced dads in the streets waving Soviet flags. Hmm.

This might be how maga-communism came into being

I wouldn't be surprised. Honestly, it's probably the same material conditions that gave rise to German "national-socialism" after the Spartakists failed in 1919 and the liberals/socdems couldn't offer strong policy and a new direction for the failing country.
