Black women still seeing 'impact of misogynoir' in the media, queer feminist scholar argues

Scholar Moya Bailey argued that recent public treatment of Meghan Markle, Brittney Griner and Megan Thee Stallion prove lasting “misogynoir” against Black women.

Bailey, who is an associate professor at Northwestern University, explained that this unique vitriol against Black women like Megan Thee Stallion and Griner is built in what she called "misogynoir."

"I think you pointed it out, it is because they are both Black women that they are facing this unique, targeted harm. What I call that harm is misogynoir. There is a way that anti-Black, racist misogyny shows up, and it is uniquely targeting Megan, uniquely targeting Brittney Griner, and you can also add the other Meghan, Meghan Markle, who has gone through a lot of public vitriol directed her way," Bailey said.
