misogynoir

Like misogyny, but towards black women. It is a term first coined by black feminist, Moya Bailey, and is a combination of the English word 'misogyny' and French word 'noir' (meaning black). It was created by Moya Bailey as a way to highlight the hatred that black women face in pop culture.

Person #1: Black women are ugly! No wonder black guys never date them!
Person #2: Now I see the misogynoir......

Misogyny but directed at Black Women.
Reasons it occurs includes:
- Men just generally resent women
- Some men don’t see Black Women of worthy of having standards

- ONE Black Woman did something to a man like rejected him

- Easy way to gain clout / Attention

-Envy
- Black Women safeguard black culture which everyone wants a piece of
-Most Black Women have liberal views
- Black Women don’t interact with other races of men the way their women interact with Black Men which leads to resentment

People who aren’t Black Women: OMG, wtf is wrong with Black Women, they’re all the same. Other races are better !
