#it doesn't protect women from misogyny but it does offer them some form of privilege considering that

Traditional femininity is to misogyny as colorism is to racism
#or traditional femininity : misogyny :: colorism : racism
#y'all remember your analogy formats from grade school? 😂
#and yes I will eventually be expanding on this but basically
#being traditionally feminine is a more acceptable/palatable way of being a woman and treated as something all women should aspire to
#it doesn't protect women from misogyny but it does offer them some form of privilege considering that
#femininity is very much a factor of both class and race
#upper-class white women are inherently seen as more feminine than lower-class women of color regardless of how they act
#which makes sense considering traditional femininity is a byproduct of white supremacy and the patriarchy
#it's literally a tool used for control but sure let's shame women for not conforming to it
#note that femininity isn't actually an area of oppression like lighter skin isn't one it's just misogyny and racism respectively
#the more you move away from the acceptable way of being the more oppression you're going to face
#not a 1:1 obviously but for simplicity's sake I'm making the comparison between the two
