ref: 2015, Cristina Devereaux Ramírez, Occupying Our Space: The Mestiza Rhetorics of Mexican Women Journalists and Activists, 1875–1942, →ISBN:
text: This rhetoric of Norwegian exceptionalism did not only work to strengthen already well-established forms of what Nazila Kivi (2015) has termed “feminationalism” in Norway, where feminist rhetoric is used to buttress nationalist politics and self-understandings in ways that figures other geographies and populations as always already “backwards.” The framing of the anniversary also seemed to suggest that feminism is nothing but history in Norway, and that the job ahead is to export the Norwegian model of feminist equality to so-called less developed countries.

text: In countries such as Denmark and Italy, xenophobic campaigns have taken on the form of ‘feminationalist’ rhetoric which claims that migration is undermining the rights and freedoms of the women in the destination countries. The discourse of ‘feminationalism’ is closely related to homonationalism in which the xenophobic right is claiming that migration is a threat to the rights of the LBGT community.
ref: 2017, Alison Treacher, “A feminism for the 21ˢᵗ century”, in Socialist Resistance:
text: We now see a kind of racism that argues that Christian/Western values are civilized and a basis for democracy, while ’their’ values are reactionary and undemocratic. In the same way, femonationalism and homonationalism have evolved, where it is claimed that the oppression of women and LGBT people only exists amongst ’foreigners’ (the muslims). Feminationalism does not imply a common struggle for freedom, but sees the state as a protector of ’poor’ women from ’foreign’ men.
