I feel like immigration fears almost always boil in the end boil down to fears of the perceived ‘other’ coming in and taking/raping all of “our” women.
Look at shit like the Jim crow south and the sociology of white women their or how ballistic Japanese old men (even current day) at the thought of a “gaijin” with a Japanese woman.
Immigration fears always boil down to that under all the layers
The most explicit demonstration of this phenomenon in American history was when Japanese American women married to whites didn’t go to the concentration camp, but white women married to Japanese American men did.
Immigration fears are more encompassing though in my opinion. The idea of land enclosure and ownership is central to it, not just patriarchy and ownership of women.
Yes absolutely to both parts of your posts.
Right there’s more to it for sure. I think ownership of women and insecurity of men is a large part, if not the largest part of immigration fears. “The browns are coming to rape or mate with OUR white women and the jews want this to happen”
A lot of these white guys where this fascism is rising probably are angry that they aren’t doing as well as daddy did (fuck, who Is? Fuck boomers.) While at the same time women are slowly gaining more freedom and independence from men.
A lot of these dudes have expressed to me how they hate lesbians as well because they view lesbians as “competition”.
It’s so cringe and revolting, both at once.
