femonationalism

Femonationalism, sometimes known as feminationalism, is the association between a nationalist ideology and some feminist ideas when driven by xenophobic motivations, including in the context of Islamophobia. Femonationalism is short for "feminist and femocratic nationalism".

== History == The term was originally proposed by the researcher Sara R. Farris. Farris first wrote of Femonationalism in her 2012 article, Femonationalism and the “Regular” Army of Labor Called Migrant Women, then again in her book ''In the Name of Women's Rights: The Rise of Femonationalism.'' Femonationalism is used to refer to the usage of feminist ideas in order to justify islamophobic, aporophobic, racist, and xenophobic positions, arguing that immigrants are sexist and that Western society is entirely egalitarian. The term was developed following the September 11 attacks, as stereotypes and concerns over Arab/Islamic people rose that governments sought to address.
