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.
Thank you for reading! And for the comment. These are insights I've been sitting on and ruminating for a while so I'm happy to get a chance to share them with other black women and girls. We need that now more than ever.
Wonderfully wrote and insightful as always ๐
Thank you Alex ๐
