It seems that all fascism is patriarchal in essence.

In his excellent book "How Fascism Works," Jason Stanley says, "... any threat to patriarchal manhood and the traditional family undermines the fascist vision of strength."

The fascist decries the impure blood of the "others" (who are portrayed as rapists) while defending the role of women as breeders for the chosen race.

One can imagine a different version without the patriarchal essence, but I don't know of one.
