It was coined by queer black feminist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.moyabailey.com\/\">Moya Bailey<\/a>, who created the term to address misogyny directed toward black women in American visual and popular culture. <a href=\"blank\">Trudy of Gradient Lair<\/a>, a womanist blog about black women and art, media, social media, socio-politics and culture, has also been credited in developing the lexical definition of the term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The concept is grounded in the theory of intersectionality which analyzes how various social identities such as race, gender, class, and sexual orientation interrelate in systems of oppression.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AFFIRMATION:<\/strong> I welcome an awareness of any misogynoir operating in my beliefs. I take responsibility to shift my beliefs.
