I\u2019ve seen this idea going around that there are no female white supremacists.

\n

I mean sure it\u2019d be nice if it were true, but also seems somewhat unlikely?

Female white supremacists are non-prototypical and therefore rhetorically suboptimal. People you don\u2019t know are mostly just fungible shares of iconic \u201ctypes\u201d, so it\u2019s inconvenient if people are poor models of any of the types you\u2019re interested in. (My impression is that black women definitely have an iconic type for \u201cfemale white supremacist\u201d, but they are probably not the ones saying that there aren\u2019t female white supremacists.)

An iconic type for female white supremacists? Could you elaborate?

I\u2019m well out of my depth on this, but my impression is that the stereotypical female white supremacist is much more framed in terms of buttoned-down traditionalism, propriety, and respectability politics, more of a Dolores Umbridge type than a skinhead type. I\u2019m not really sure if this is accurate but I have definitely seen a lot of volleys flying in that general direction and I have to assume they were aiming at something.

some early white feminists weren\u2019t particularly intersectional, let\u2019s put it that way.

Iconic? Hm, not far off from “renn faire” in the direction of “Juggalette” maybe?
