Rampant sexism

Does this indicate fascism is largely a male thing? Or have female fascists oppressed men as well?

[โ€“] mozz@mbin.grits.dev 17 points 1 year ago

Fascism is greatly concerned with overt displays of power, "honor," physical strength as a core value instead of reason or integrity, that kind of thing.

That's not fully incompatible with femaleness, but it does tend to work out in practice as a male-dominated system that features subjugation of women, of a piece with its subjugation of anything else that's vulnerable in any way.
