That's very right, I would even say most people think that women are "too sweet" to get involved into nationalism (as many people wrongly relate it with supremacism or imperialism, making it thus violent and unfemenine). So well, seeing high numbers of women in nationalist movements is very necessary for its "normalization" IMO, as it could make some people discover a different side of it and realize that what nationalism promotes is, above all, a message of love; love for your people, their (and your) traditions, popular culture, etc. a love of which nationalism is ultimately a political and very legitimate manifestation.
