So, tumblr is trying to coin a new word- "misogynoir", which apparently means "mysogyny + anti-black racism".

Thoughts?

Makes no sense to me. At first glance, I thought it was a portmanteau for "film noir" and "misogyny".

Yeah, it's going to get tangled up with noir-the-genre. Which also has its share of misogyny, but...

Back off sweetheart. This is no place for ditzy dames.

Yeah, it sounds like a new film genre. Like dark films where the plot lines are about women haters.

You mean most films of the era of early film noir ?

Well, there is some misogyny in film noir so it works? I'd much prefer that definition.

That sounds more interesting than the actual definition.

It sounds like something a commercial made up trying to sound hip.

This is moronic and anybody who uses this will be rightly derided as a fucking idiot.

That would be Abercrombie & Fitch's new fragrance. And they totally used that name to get press. (And it would work.)

Nope. Noir is a specific genre and this word just makes it seem like you're talking about mysogyny themed noir or the like.

is it too difficult to just say misogyny and anti-black racism ??

Nope. They probably thought they were just being clever by pairing up the French word for "black" with "misogyny." Sometimes being clever works but not this time.

It's so fetch!

I lol'ed :)

They have far too much time on their hands?

Whether it's for pairings or for more general neologisms, clunky wordsmushes make me cringe.

Sounds like a term you'd use to identify misogyny in the noir film genre more than anything else. ever.

it sucks

where do you even find out about this stuff

That is the single ugliest-looking word I have ever seen.

... but why? Do we really need to have a term for this?

Sounds like something I wrote papers on in my undergrad film noir class.

When I read the term my first thought is old movies, not racism.

Just what we need, yet another divisive, inflammatory insult for the SJW's to hurl about with gleeful abandon.

i broke my head trying to get around that
