These were all women who represented feminist causes in Nazi Germany, and were also Nazis, at least they all were during the Reich (Reitsch and Riefenstahl recanted after the war, and claimed they joined the Nazi circles for professional advantage, not ideological commitment to Nazism).

Right. So there were women in Nazi Germany who ascribed to some feminist principles, and that somehow gives us free reign to associate anyone with modern feminist cred with Nazis? :shakes head:

You can find people who ascribe to any set of values, no matter how conflicting, somewhere in the world. At heart feminism and Nazism are not compatible--feminism and Socialism, yes, but the Nazis were mostly traditionalists, with a few exceptions (they were pro-science, for example, even if they sullied it with dubious genetics, soulless medical experiments on humans, etc.) There have also been Nazi Muslims ⚠️ ↗ and certainly many pro-Nazi Muslims ⚠️ ↗. Given that, am I now okay to call all Muslims 'Islamo-nazis'? After all, it's only fair.
