A central reason for the rejection of migration, especially that from Muslim countries, is the assumption that, in the sexual sphere, migrants are generally dangerous and have a retrograde mentality. Against this, the dominant discourse contrasts a kind of cultural-sexual supremacism of the West; a Western sexual exceptionalism. Gabriele Dietze shows us that this political-sexual characterization of migrants is a strategy that feeds a “politics of fear” and paves the way for an ethno-nationalist and xenophobic discourse. Thus, she analyzes how the different extreme right or far right (and not only) use gender issues to generate hatred and rejection of foreigners, often through authentic tightrope walking exercises that try to combine their local anti-feminism with their criticism of foreign patriarchy.
