You are referring to this passage:

Daniel 11:37
He shall regard neither the God of his fathers nor the desire of women, nor regard any god; for he shall exalt himself above them all.

It is not that he has no desire for women but that he has no regard for the desire of women. The women in this case are not the object of the desire; they are the one’s desiring. But what is it that women desire as distinguished from men?

Christ sheds light on the meaning of the passage under discussion in the Olivet Discourse:

Matthew 24:19
But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!

The desire of women is referring to child bearing. After the abomination of desolation, the Anti-Christ will betray the Jews and massacre many. He will not treat pregnant women or those with babies differently, except maybe to target them.

There are rules of warfare that most nations agree to follow such as not targeting civilians. Generally, most today would regard targeting pregnant women and nursing mothers in combat to be war crimes. But the Anti-Christ will do this.

Casual reading of the passage could lead to the impression the phrase has a homosexual connotation, but the Bible is always very explicit when addressing that issue. In this case it is referring to something else.

Possibly so, though I don’t think ‘this type’ of desire is meaning pregnant mothers.....

...”for he shall magnify himself above all”...As the verse continues..... so in context he simply is too busy with his self-importance to bother....no sexual desire for women perhaps.

The verse goes on...“But in their place he shall honor a god of fortresses”...

Which sounds like he’s focused on Military and Power...so likely spends much on a military buildup.

Hitler considered himself far too important to give much regard to women and many woman sought his attention, though he had Eva as a mistress, who was more like a child in her behavior and personality than a woman.
