@cuntvodka@gina_scooter Remember when twitter pathologized a black male toddler? Look through the comments and you'll see people saying he needs to get beat.

@floweringtale@AnthonyGSupreme Black male teens being specifically targeted by police isn't unique to Black males? Police were 'within their rights' to target, harass, and murder young Black men, most of whom were innocent? Ok, think we're done here.
Why do I bother engaging with racist radfems?

@floweringtale@AnthonyGSupreme I already have, several times in fact. It is you who have failed to substantiate that the Black community has the "highest femicide rate in the country" since you're unable (and unwilling) to control for the proven socioeconomic determinants for intra-racial violence.
@floweringtale@AnthonyGSupreme No, I acknowledged that sex CAN be an independent explanatory variable, not that it necessarily is within all communities and contexts.
Again, misogyny can account for some, even much, of the difference, but that difference is smallest within the Black community.
@floweringtale@AnthonyGSupreme No, I did not - I presented it to show that Black men have particular vulnerabilities as Black men, which can be, and often are, exploited by their abusive partners.
@floweringtale@AnthonyGSupreme Its a logical inference that you can make by using simple math.
The incarceration gap for similar sentences is FAR larger between Black men and white men than it is between Black women and white men or Black women and white women.
The pattern is absolutely inconsistent.
@floweringtale@AnthonyGSupreme Some of the primary social determinants for violence in the Black community are based on socioeconomic factors (e.g. alcoholism, undiagnosed mental illness).
If femicide explains the gap, that suggests that femicide has the least explanatory for Black female victimization.
@floweringtale@AnthonyGSupreme I have NEVER said that men experience the same exact gender based mechanism!
Misogyny CAN account for some of the difference, but the gender disparity is lowest in the Black community! The disparity is also lowest with regard to sexual violence.
I guarantee you the people disagreeing have no idea what the social determinants for IPV and IPH are. They donโt read or care to find out. But the scholars in public health who study patriarchy terrorism & instrumental aggression are clear on this issue: I guess theyโre wrong too
@floweringtale@AnthonyGSupreme 1. I HAVE shown that Black men are victimized because they are Black men.
2. The 'empirical literature' absolutely supports treating Black male victimization as sex-based victimization.
3. Black male stereotypes confer unique vulnerabilities and provide leverage for exploitation.
@floweringtale@AnthonyGSupreme "The remaining cases are mainly perpetrated by non intimate african american male acquaintances."
The remaining ~50% cases are not confirmed to all be committed by acquaintances of the victims.
@floweringtale@AnthonyGSupreme I'm not denying that โsex is an independent explanatory variable shaping women's patterns of victimization'
I'm saying that it isn't an independent explanatory variable with regard to domestic violence within the Black community. It is, however, an important factor.
@floweringtale@AnthonyGSupreme Are you hallucinating?
I never, and would never, claim that Black women don't have unique gendered vulnerability as an oppressed class.
Let me know when you're ready to start over and engage in good faith.
@floweringtale@AnthonyGSupreme "Black men are far less likely to win custody, far more likely to be presumed as the violent aggressor, and are specifically profiled & targeted by the police state."
This is provably true and in no way invalidates either misogynoir or the more common impacts of systemic racism.
@floweringtale@AnthonyGSupreme No. I'm am arguing that BOTH Black men and Black women endure gendered harm, both inside and outside domestic settings.
My issue with femicide theory isn't that it acknowledges gender violence against Black women - its that it ignores how race/gender makes Black men vulnerable
