Misogynoir. Where racism and sexism intersect. A relatively recent term coined by queer Black feminist Moya Bailey, that describes a centuries old concept. It is the word that catalogues the attack on the Black woman for being just that, a Black woman. Misogynoir is the hyper sexualisation of the Black female body, the idea that everyone is entitled to her body except her, the stereotypes she is faced with that call her angry, sassy, and unfeeling; the double standard that sees the white woman praised and the Black woman condemned; the white woman to be accredited for the Black woman’s work, that describes the actions of White Feminism™ to a T, that allows her to be underpayed for her work if they hire her at all, that profiles her (and her Trans sisters) as sex workers; that allows her to be raped by those legally meant to protect her, and that lets those same "protectors" deny her basic human necessities when she is incarcerated, the system that enables this state-sanctioned violence; that has brainwashed her over centuries of dehumanisation to have a voice in the back of her mind constantly convincing her to act a certain way so as to “be different from the average Black girl”; a generalisation that in every way is a myth. Misogynoir can be perpetuated by anyone who is not a Black woman or Femme, it is

"the experience of existing at the intersection of Black and woman, that entails oppression from a variety of angles”
