Introduction There is substantial evidence from various sources regarding the link between misogyny and homophobia. Misogyny can be defined as the “fear and hatred of women” (Murray and Roscoe 23). It is a form of psychological manifestation that represses all that was traditionally associated with females in society. It includes several factors, such as emotions, dependency, and religious attitudes (Bordo 28). On the other hand, homophobia is a collection of feelings toward homosexuality. In other words, the feelings are directed to persons who are believed to be transgender, lesbians and/or gays in the community. The feelings can be expressed in many forms, such as antipathy, aversion and/or contempt. In the US, Black Americans are exemplified by relatively high levels of misogyny and homophobia for the reason that they promote their own oppression, which is mainly attributed to their failure to study their history. Oppression Tools It is widely held that black people in America are oppressed by various factors in society. However, people use the notions of homophobia and misogyny to cause divisions that go a long way in perpetuating patriarchy and capitalism. In fact, there is considerable evidence that many people are keen on using the two notions to maintain their status quo (Bordo 28). It is amazing to learn that Black Americans oppress themselves on the grounds of the two issues of homophobia and misogyny, yet they were evident in ancient Africa (Murray and Roscoe 90; Teunis 176). For example, it is notable that some traditional male Africans were gays, while some females were lesbians. While Black Americans are busy oppressing themselves, many white people in the US are keen on increasing their trade and industries (Teunis 180). A common phenomenon has been identified in cultural backgrounds that are founded on patriarchal systems. The phenomenon is related to the perceptions of females who are repressed by homosexual acts of men. The “Roman Catholic Church has been shown to be among the leading institutions that facilitate the expression of patriarchy” (Murray and Roscoe 87). In ancient Africa, men could assume the passive coital role, which could not be tolerated for the reason that it was recognized and practiced based on the principle of insubordination of females to males in the community. In this context, it is worth to note that the theory held that males ought to be aggressive and dominant. Males who could act “like women were looked down upon by their friends” (Murray and Roscoe 34). In fact, “they were told that they were dragging their fellow males down with them in their voluntary disgrace” (Murray and Roscoe 176). Thus, it would be important for Black Americans to realize the fact that the rationalization of various forms of sexual prejudices are fueled by false notions vis-à-vis sexual privileges, which are critical to establishing the traditional practices that are inherited from past generations. When a Black American woman says that she does not want to be a female, then this can be viewed as a negative attitude toward her sexuality that could be caused by several factors, such as past sexual experiences or domestic violence. Such a person should be allowed to adopt what she
