I rarely encounter nationalist women. I had a nationalist girl friend, who was against our current excessive immigration, due to the social problems with Turks and Arabs. The first time she ever let me in on her anti-immigrant sentiment, I was extremely surprised, positively, because many Danish girls are actually sexual fetishists of Turks and Arabs, and find them sexually attractive for whatever reason. Similarly, older (than me) Danish women are pro-immigration cultural fetishists in regard to our many Turkish and Arabian immigrants.
More women in the movement, would be the best thing that could ever happen.

Exactly. I think some women might actually hesitate to tell people about their nationalist sentiment, in fear of breaking this "females are sweet and loving" bubble or expectation, because nationalism is seen as evil, ignorant and narrow-minded.
