This is a comprehensive, well-referenced and well-organized description of the topic that would benefit most of all from occasional fully elaborated examples. You don't need examples for every point but it's helpful to have this level of specificity, for example. (I've borrowed this text from Nationalism and you too may do so as long as you state that's what you are doing in the edit summary.)

The gendering of nationalism through socially constructed notions of masculinity and femininity not only shapes what masculine and feminine participation in the building of that nation will look like, but also how the nation will be imagined by nationalists.^[1] A nation having its own identity is viewed as necessary, and often inevitable, and these identities are gendered.^[2] The physical land itself is often gendered as female (i.e. "Motherland"), with a body in constant danger of violation by foreign males, while national pride and protectiveness of "her" borders is gendered as masculine.^[3]

Alternatively, you might take a particular national example by, for example, summarizing Anne McClintock's description of gender and nationalism in multiple projects in South Africa. Again, just a couple such examples plus a few illustration would dramatically improve the felt solidity of what is otherwise a strong encyclopedia article.--Carwil (talk) 19:35, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Miguel Some suggestions:

Could you add some imaginings about Nationalism and gender?
If one has the individual sovereignty to choose ones own (best) Gender , why not their own (best) Nationalism?
How does choosing one gender sovereignty and ones identity sovereignty (nationalism) engage HUMAN RIGHTS norms (UDHR 1948) art.15 ( right to change/choose a nationalism) art.18 (belief) Art. 20 (association)
The First Nations of North America have long sought their own PASSPORTS, sovereign Self-Governance, or economic/currency/banking sovereignty, but have been oppressed by other dominating "nationalisms" - Same can be said for the Amish, and Jewish People, and so on.
Do you know how it was (scholar9 to began to talk about this topic?
Could you explain why it is important this topic?
Could you refer if this topic is a subfield of ethnohistory- anthropology or sociology or nationalism studies?
I think your article is a good start of this particle topic.
Could you write a small paraghrap whith regards to chronological events of this topic.

Thanks! I added some additional examples, filled in some gaps, and added a couple images. I did not address the chronological issue because this article is intended to describe the phenomena of gender and nationalism, rather than the development of scholarship on this topic. I have made notations about the interdisciplinarity of this field of study, as it is not associated with one particular home discipline. Slothstuff (talk) 17:17, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
