Ivy League professors interested in popularizing a new term to protect Vice President Kamala Harris and portray her as a victim stated that she might be the target of “misogynoir.”
“Cornell University recently placed a press release on its web page in which three professors provided insight into Harris’ candidacy,” Campus Reform reported.
“There is no question that Harris’s candidacy will open up a torrent of misogynoir, a term coined by Moya Bailey and Trudy for the intersection of misogyny and racism (particularly anti-Black racism, although Harris is also of course South Asian),” associate professor of philosophy Kate Manne complained. “It’s our job to fight it in our circles and even ourselves. Opposing the misogynoir Harris is about to face loudly and vocally is the only way forward. The fate of our country hangs precariously in the balance.”
