Based on a discursive analysis of various media reports published in 2015–2018 by and about the Finnish right-wing street patrolling organization Soldiers of Odin (SOO), we explore the gendered dimension of contemporary vigilantism. We find that street patrolling as a practice of vigilantism, is justified in this case by using representations of the cityspace as a place of friction between locals and newcomers and of the street as a locus for enacting gendered and racial/ethnic identities. Our findings suggest that SOO’s vigilant practices exhibit a mixture of traditional and new features of masculinity. We argue that the activities of anti-immigration groups such as the SOO in Finland demonstrate a feminist security dilemma concerning the way securitization of public gender-based violence is used to enhance militarized performance of white masculinity. We identify four recurring themes that are used by group members to portray themselves as part of a legitimate social movement: protective masculinity, militarized masculinity, supplement of the state, and indigenous masculinity.

民族民粹主义和性别警惕主义：以芬兰奥丁士兵为例

基于对芬兰右翼街头巡逻组织奥丁士兵（SOO）于2015-2018年发布的各种媒体报道的话语分析，我们探索了当代警惕性的性别维度。我们发现，在这种情况下，街头巡逻是一种警惕性做法，这是有道理的，方法是使用城市空间的表示形式，作为当地人和新移民之间的摩擦场所，而将街道表示为制定性别和种族/种族身份的场所。我们的发现表明，SOO的警惕做法展现出男性气概的传统特征和新特征的混合。我们认为，诸如芬兰SOO之类的反移民团体的活动表明，女性主义的安全困境与公共性别暴力的证券化被用来增强白人男子气概的军事表现有关。我们确定了小组成员用来将自己描绘成合法的社会运动的一部分的四个重复出现的主题：保护性男性气质，军事性男性气质，国家的补充和土著男性气质。
