Femonationalism, sometimes known asfeminationalism, is the association between anationalist ideology and somefeminist ideas, especially when driven byxenophobic motivations.[1][2][3][4][5]
The term was originally proposed by the researcherSara R. Farris to refer to the processes by which somepowers line up with the claims of the feminist movement in order to justifyaporophobic,racist, and xenophobic positions, arguing thatimmigrants aresexist and thatWestern society is entirelyegalitarian.[1][2]
The main critiques of this phenomenon focus on the partial andsectarian use of thefeminist movement to further ends based onsocial intolerance, ignoring the sexism and lack of realsocial equality in Western society as a whole.[2][3][5][6]
