Misogynoir is rampant in ways that may not even be
realized. The hashtag #SayHerName was created in 2014 to
highlight
misogynoir and how stories of Black women and girls often go overlooked,
unnoticed and untold.
These experiences range from police violence
to sexual assault and often go unreported. Two very apparent
examples of misogynoir in the public sphere can be found in the
stories of musician R.Kelly’s victims
and most recently, the events
that transpired with rapper Megan Thee Stallion.
