you've encapsulated this topic so well! i really appreciate you putting a clear face to the violence & high death rates black women & girls are going through. this has to be one of my most favourite things i've read this year. the message at the end is so important for young black women & girls today to hear & are trying to navigate this world. where black men are open with their hatred of us on social media which shows up in real life. black men are failed patriarchs & they rely on misogynoir that white men created to uplift their women & misogyny as their lifelines to help protect themselves & move around the world as men. instead of fighting white supremacy, they find it much easier to punch down. we need more articles like this aimed towards black women & girls in a world that is heavily engaged in misogynoir so again, thank you so much for writing this. it's so important.
