Millions of German women supported the Nazis. In fact, German women were one of the largest groups of voters of the Nazi Party during the national elections before the Nazis seizing power in 1933

THERE WERE BRITISH SUFFRAGETTES WHO SPECIFICALLY SELF-IDENTIFIED AS FEMINIST LEADERS WHO BECAME FASCISTS IN THE 1930S IN ORDER TO ADVANCE THE RIGHTS OF WHITE BRITISH WOMEN

Lol yup there's the pivot From "There is NO FUCKING WAY someone like me could be a Nazi" to "Look maybe I'm a Nazi maybe I'm not"

No, anyone could be a Nazi. But not everyone in that category was a Nazi, which is clearly what's implied here

I'm not implying anything, I'm stating that self-identification as a "feminist" is no guarantee of either good or bad politics And TERFs are the kind with repulsively bad politics

Do we know that the suffragists were terfs? Did they ever have occasion to be otherwise?

I'm not aware that "trans issues" per se ever came up directly with them but the specific suffragists who became fascists can be attributed to having a particular emphasis on "law and order" as an essential tool to "protect women's spaces"

As a general cultural value that "protecting X spaces" mindset is a core predictor of fascism It's what the Fourteen Words are based on (and there's specifically a variant of the 14W that says "white women" instead of "white children")

...in the case of 14 words that group is clearly the dominant majority already. They've never been a victimised group that needed protection, ever ... except in their paranoid fantasies

Yeah that's why the 14 Words talk about protecting white men Needing to be protected is a position of weakness It is an exhortation to white men to protect *children* (and, in a variant phrasing, white women)
