You have a point but I think you're mistaken about who will be pushing for that particular use of a CBDC (punishing single men). The left wing will offer it to "traditionalists" as a way to "restore the family" or other such nonsense. The "traditionalists" will fall for it and then the left wing will do a bait and switch and then use the CBDC for whatever they want, including punishing the "traditionalists" if they don't conform.
(Scare quotes around "traditionalists" as I don't agree that they are actually support real traditional values, just bastardised versions based on feminist myths such as "patriarchy" and men being disposable as a natural rule)

If anything, I think they'll exclusively incentivize women rather than coerce men. But while immigration is still an option, there's no "need."
They already do that, but men aren't stupid enough to fall for it.
They thought about bribing us, the UK actually had a strategy meeting on it.
I think they believe that we aren't stupid enough to fall for their fake emotions or their bribes, so it's time to bring out the windowless trains.
