There is no “resurgence” of femininity in black women. We have always been feminine. We’ve always worn feminine hair, long nails, feminine clothes, we’ve always been soft. If the person looking at us perceived it as such.

But we can take it back back to when these stereotypes were created to appease WW so they wouldn’t be jealous or envious of the slaves, who were black women, their husbands raped. Like girl, I guess.

Black women have ALWAYS understood that our looks are u ddr scrutiny. Why do you think we spend the most in certain beauty industries!? We know femininity is currency. But you can’t undo centuries of conditioning of the rest of the population. Not without the help of mass media.

I think part of the issue people have with black women and our aesthetic is that it is malleable. We can look like whatever we want and that IS our brand of femininity and the people on the outside are MADT we don’t fit in s little tiny box.

Black women are not predictable. There is no one mold. Our look is infinite. We don’t all like pumpkin spice lattes and uggs. Each black woman is free to explore her aesthetic as an individual STILL BELONGING TO THE GROUP.
