In light of The Girls’ Spot gym backlash, where both men and women are comparing black women to males because black women are masculinised, getting this on my ig feed was infuriatingly ironic.

In case you didn’t know, under slavery in America black women and girls were experimented on by gynecologist J. Marion Sims. Despite the amount of pain he inflicted, he’s still considered the father of gynecology. It’s also no surprise that he is the fucker that invented the speculum.

And now comes my point.

Black women being masculinised does in no way mean they are seen or treated as males. White supremacist patriarchy always treated them as the females they are. The rapes, the forced breeding, these experiments: they all happened because

1) everybody knows what a woman is

2) slavery and the racist notion of black people feeling way less pain

allowed for an “easier” exploitation of black women and girls.

Also, white men didn’t teach sub-saharian African men misogyny. That was already there. Black women were already facing sex-based oppression, long before colonisation.

To compare the masculinisation of black women to maleness is an extreme show of misogynoir. It erases the history and the present day reality of black women and girls all around the world.

And this is the hill libfems are willing to die on, just for a bunch of delusional (and mostly white) men. I’m not surprised the sisterhood is fragile, i wouldn’t trust them either.

Anyway, i’m white so if any black woman wants to add to this post, please do so!

We have a double standard, which is to say, a man can show how much he cares by being violent -- see, he's jealous, he cares -- a woman shows how much she cares by how much she's willing to be hurt; by how much she will take; how much she will endure.

Here's an FGM survivor's response to that girl on TikTok who claimed "people focus on FGM so much because they want to tie women's oppression to genitalia so they can exclude transwomen."
