Misogynoir
The term “misogynoir” was coined in 2008 and published online in 2010 by queer black feminist Moya Bailey. Misogynoir stems from the word misogyny and is used to describe the intersection of race and gender that black women experience while “noir” also holds connotations related to film studies. Bailey explains that her need for the term came from “noting both an historical anti-black misogyny and a problematic intraracial gender dynamic that had wider implication in popular culture.” The term’s usage has picked up over the years and generated many conversations in mainstream media, especially on social platforms such as Twitter and Instagram.
