When her second tweet says that BMS is "misogynistic" when it doesn't focus on attacking "cisheteropatriarchy"...come on, you already know what time it is.
No one serious (serious, not dumb ass Twitter warriors) in BMS supports misogyny or attacking Black women as a whole like some of these others attack Black man masculinity and patriarchy. A lot of BMS is focused on the scholarship that claims Black men are some great oppressors when we can barely help ourselves and have educational and occupational trajectories often lagging Black women.
I honestly am pretty care free and don't feel any predilection to culture warring. None of this really hit my radar until K. Crenshaw had the petition set up asking Obama not to have the My Brothers Keeper program targeted specifically at young Black males. I mean, that is the kind of argument I would expect from the mainstream Right.

Brothers Keepers wasn’t even targeted at specifically Black boys. It was “boys of color”. Lol. That petition by Crenshaw was an act of pure evil and selfishness, friend.
When i recommend Dr Curry's work i OVERemphasize engaging the work itself and not the noise and punditry around it. Even the most visible online spaces that supposedly endorse his work are misrepresentative of it's essence in my view.
I find it difficult to believe many people can trudge through his academic articles, interviews, publications etc, which illustrates some of the most thoroughly damning indictments of the US/West, and process the corpus as some springboard for an integrationist project. (The black manosophere etc). But thats how it's being presented and utilized online
We are underdeveloped to the point of even outsourcing interpretation
