#MeToo shows sexism is not men of colour’s prerogative
Al JazeeraThe #MeToo movement has been tremendously important in debunking the myth of the man of colour as sexual predator. It is in light of these experiences that we should look at the #MeToo campaign as an extremely important movement, potentially enabling women of colour and Muslim women to fight against sexual harassment without feeling the burden of “disloyalty” towards their communities. Not only are men of colour more likely to be convicted for sexual assault when compared with white men, but for many women of colour reporting rape or sexual assault may prove more challenging. Cologne after #MeToo If #MeToo has been tremendously important in debunking the myth of the man of colour as sexual predator, the movement, however, must be careful not to adopt a “carceral feminist” approach. However, if we are really serious about combating gender violence in all of its various forms, the #MeToo movement must initiate a much needed conversation about the type of gender justice we envisage, about ways to discredit stereotypes of man of colour’s aggressive masculinity as well as about the kinds of infrastructure we need to enable all women – but particularly women of colour – to speak out without fear of racist repercussions.
