More Traditional Roles
In contrast, other Internet documents composed by women promote child rearing and other
"domestic" tasks as women's greatest contribution to the "movement."
"Knews" Klan E-mail Newsletter
Writing in the "Knews" Klan E-mail newsletter (which is distributed by the
North Carolina-based Knights of the Ku Klux Klan), Jo Kinder announced that "nothing
can be more important to our cause" than taking time to teach white children
"pride in their heritage." She urges women to "return to the old ways of
our people" by becoming "the nurturing, caring, and bringers of life and
knowledge necessary for our future." Claiming women "do not need organizations
to defend" them, Kinder describes a female "birthright to inspire our men and
children in the hope of a glorious future."
Women for Aryan Unity
Echoing Hitler's view that women should focus on "Kirche, Küche, Kinder"
(church, kitchen, children), the Women for Aryan Unity Web site urges racist women
to "stand by" their husbands by keeping their home, providing for their
"comfort," and indoctrinating their children with hate. Encouraging women to
focus on "midwifery," "survival cooking," and "education,"
the site instructs racist women to take up weapons and sound the "battle cry"
only if their husbands "fall." These women are upset that they have been taught
they "are no longer needed in the home as wives and mothers" and angered that
they "have been forced to compete with men for the males' jobs."
World Church of the Creator
Women's Frontier
The WCOTC Women's Frontier site presents an "Interview with Reverend
Michelle Wilson." Though Wilson has taken a leadership position in WCOTC, she
believes that women should take such positions only to bide the time until they settle
down and have children. When asked about the
role of women, Wilson asserted, "Women play the very important role of bringing as
many White children into the world as they possibly can properly care and provide
for."
Her Race
While some articles at the Her Race Web site promote extremist women's political
activism, others advocate more "traditional" female roles. Kate Bell offers a
detailed account of childbirth in "Birth of a White Child," asserting that she's
"actually doing something that helps our cause" by giving birth to white
children. "The Perfect Match" by Lisa Turner offers advice on how to find a good
"Aryan" husband, and "Race Mixing" by Zennia urges white women to stay
away from non-white males. "The Truth About Sesame Street" by Lisa Turner
calls on white women to stop their children from watching that television program because
it promotes tolerance; the article also characterizes Sesame Street's creator
as a supporter of "the New World Order."
