ehh, I wouldn't be entirely surprised if she did. women's bodies are continuously mystified. like she's definitely playing it up for impact but there's no reason to do much but take her at her word here. it's a plausible misunderstanding of how our bodies work generated from a society invested in maintaining a mystique around such in an effort to manufacture consent for the very policies she's defending.
most people don't attempt to resolve cognitive dissonance IME. they just feel the emotional truth of something and move on without checking whether it fits with things they already know. more so in a culture that discourages dissent - unity with the mass of other chuds is a prerequisite price for entry.
fascist intellectuals are. your run of the mill fascists are just chuds with a bit more awareness of the scope of the conflict and the actual stakes at hand. fascists smoothly shift between contradictory beliefs but everything I've seen of them suggests they actually hold those beliefs and convince themselves of such. it's their intelligentsia that know they're selling fucking snake oil and believe the whole rest of the world is doing the same.
