“Women have been deeply instrumental in everything from the KKK to the Nazis to the resistance of civil rights. And yet they have been repeatedly written out of the history of bigotry,” says “Sisters in Hate” writer seywarddarby

When Stewart had her first child in 2003, she was a pro-gay-rights feminist in her early 20s who followed a vegan diet and studied midwifery, according to a new book called Sisters in Hate. But after getting her master’s degree in women’s spirituality, her politics began to shift.
The Cut spoke with Darby, a self-described feminist from the South, about how femininity and motherhood are some of the far right’s greatest weapons. Why are women so valuable to white nationalism? Lokteff, one of the women in your book, said “When women get involved a movement becomes a serious threat” and “A soft woman saying hard things can create repercussions throughout society.” What does she mean?
There’s an obvious pernicious PR slant to showing off how “normal” they are. There’s some people that are going to be kind of seduced by that idea and think, “You haven’t said any racial slurs, you haven’t promoted violence. This can’t possibly be bad!” When it’s convenient to them, these women wear their motherhood status as a shield. They’re saying, “It’s not that I hate Black people, I just want the best for my own children. So I want to live in an all-white community or homeschool my kids.
As a parent, there are a number of spaces where you’re going to be talking about the well-being of your children. That is of course a natural impulse and good parenting. But a good parent should also be thinking about the ways in which their desire to protect their children can lead to things like opportunity hoarding, or a kind of exclusionary way of seeing people who are not like you.
