I saw a piece on NewsNation about this.  The speculation is that they were
shocked that he won again and are also tired of the negativity and
rhetoric.  My guess is that they will show up again once/should the Trump
administration do anything outrageous.

The news piece also pointed out that a lot of the women who were moved to
mobilize in 2016 (and probably during the 2020 Summer of Love, too) may not
have been mobilized so much this time because Rowe v. Wade was overturned
and their blue states were then moved to shore up their access to abortion
laws.  They pointed out Pennsylvania and New York as two NE US examples of
states where it might be more difficult to mobilize them now because they
have what they want (right to choose) and also have a potential for better
financial times (cheaper food and gas).

One other thing they brought up, that I had forgot... there were some in
the initial 2016 movement that were shunned by the other women.  For
example, there were some pro-life women who were otherwise against Trump.
The pro-choice groups shunned including them in future rallies, which cut
into their numbers.  There were other more conservative female demographics
that were also shunned.  All the shunning of women who were anti-Trump but
otherwise conservative hurt the overall numbers and power of the cause.
