11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts
Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts.

Fascism itself is a form of Socialism, as can be seen from the full name of the Nazi party, "National Socialist German Workers' Party." Fascism is a left wing ideology, even though liberals try to associate it with conservatives.

Rampant Sexism? Compared to whom? Islam? Certainly not. Historical Western societies? No. Pre-1970's America? Not really.

Generalized to the point of being deceiving. Research the links between American and German eugenics, Margaret Sanger, etc.

You can see this in the "hate speech" laws of Europe, Canada, etc. that are really modern forms of heresy and blasphemy hunting. As far as "governments often refuse to fund the arts," that's incorrect, fascistic like all socialistic and communistic governments tend to heavily fund the arts, as long as they are politically correct. In an ideal society no art would be government funded, because it is inevitable that a government will attach an agenda to the money.

What are you addressing here? You are arguing with a study. Did
you 1. Research this article at all before commenting; 2. Live in a
fascist regime and are able to personally comment on the sexism
3. Make up your analysis as you went along?

There is quite a bit of difference between public rhetoric and propaganda
and secret science experiments/ secret Government Policy.

The funding of "politically correct" arts is much different than the funding
of the arts.
I'm new to this and not entirely sure how to work this quote thing...
I did the best I could without mucking around too much.

Oh, because the Nazi's and the like weren't any good at propaganda
or anything like that.
www.mises.org...
New farm programs were instated, along with propaganda about Blut und Bloden. Hitler appointed as head of the Ministry of Food and Agriculture Walther Darre, who in 1929 published a book, The Peasantry as the Life Source of the Nordic Race.
Darre wished to "reform" the production and marketing of food and to raise prices for farmers. Darre's entire program was designed with one objective in mind: to insulate the peasant farmer from the market.
As far as control of media and suppression of Unions, those are the functions of Statists generally, and are hardly localized among fascists. . . .
