womanism 

a better, Blacker version of feminism
Y'all: Why do you support womanism?
Me: Because "feminism" as a movement is constantly monopolized by white women who don't acknowledge the intersectionality of race and gender when it comes to oppression, systemic or otherwise. Many of these white feminists continue to perpetuate misogynoir or carry beliefs rooted in misogynoir, so why should I trust them?
