Summary/Abstract: This article explores the reasons why women are loyal to the ethic or fascistic ideologies in the South Slavic communities, but also in other countries around Europe and the world. The last few decades politically active women instead of subversive action to some retrograde ideas they voluntarily accept and promote them as a mainstream.Achieving equality in Western societies has allowed women in other communities to participate in the distribution of power, but instead of feminist critique they promote adjustment to the system. Because of that in many societies we have lost opportunities for a feminist critique of society and systems and soon we lose awareness of the need to change some social norms and society in general way of meaning.
