I think it’s both. It probably starts with gender discrimination (as the medical field highly favors men. Look at the differences in how we are taught about heart attacks for men and women for example) but then on top of that, it adds the racial discrimination.
Black women (and especially queer black women) are among the most discriminated groups sadly

That’s why the term “misogynoir” exists. It’s both, and they pile on and increase each other.
The more general term is “intersectionality”
Absolutely. I was thinking specifically about intersectionality when I wrote that, but misogynoir also applies.
I didn’t want to simply write “that’s intersectionality” and leave though, that’s why I wrote about a more practical example instead
the term is cool though
