This wave of violence, which has been reported in Manhattan and the outer boroughs, is the result of male entitlement stoked by right-wing figures such as Donald Trump and Jordan Peterson, according to Marcotte.
Marcotte's analysis suggests that the women, who were merely going about their daily lives when assaulted, were targeted precisely because they were not paying attention to their assailants. She interprets this as a reflection of the current American climate, where there is a "moment of increasingly unhinged male fury at women for daring to have lives that are centered around something other than catering to a man’s every whim."

Marcotte further characterizes followers of Jordan Peterson as seeking to "justify their faith in male dominance," and alleges that supporters of MAGA are spreading misinformation about birth control. She cites an instance where Charlie Kirk purportedly claimed that birth control adversely affects women’s brains, a claim she deems false.

Marcotte asserts, “We don’t even need to know their names or faces to know that men who do this are losers.” While it is true that these men are indeed reprehensible, it is also important to note that many of the known assailants, according to New York voter record data obtained by SteveMorse.org, are registered Democrats.

For instance, Franz Jeudy, a 33-year-old registered Democrat, was arrested in March for allegedly attacking 57-year-old Dulce Pichardo in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, as reported by ABC 7 New York. Jeudy had seven prior arrests for charges of assault.

Lydia Weil, a 40-year-old registered Democrat, was arrested for two separate incidents between March 27 and April 1, according to Pix 11. In the first incident, Weil allegedly pressed a lit cigarette to the face of a 51-year-old woman, and five days later, she allegedly assaulted a 22-year-old woman at a train station.
The only known assailant who is a registered Republican is Skiboky Stora, a 40-year-old who has repeatedly run unsuccessful campaigns for political office in the city, as reported by the New York Post. Stora was arrested for one of the most high-profile incidents of the assault trend when he allegedly attacked a well-known TikTok influencer in late March.

Stora's disturbing social media posts, which include numerous videos of him harassing women, suggest a deeply troubled individual. Despite posing in front of a Trump flag in several clips, Stora does not fit the typical profile of a MAGA voter. In a 2022 YouTube video, he stated, “I’m battling Republicans and Democrats,” suggesting a more complex political stance.

Marcotte's op-ed fails to mention that many of the known assailants are registered Democrats, nor does she address the mental health issues that many of these men reportedly suffer from. She also does not propose any solutions to reform the bail laws that allow violent criminals to continue terrorizing women in New York.
