Black women must also contend with the “super woman” perception, in which they are believed to be strong and able to withstand any obstacle or handle any situation

In 1978, Michelle Wallace wrote Black Macho and the Myth of the Superwoman to detail how the assumption of the strong, Black woman can be detrimental to Black women’s health and mental well-being.

Social media and the related pressures to present oneself with filters can also drive internalized sexism for women, as there can often be the creation of an ideal image that is not only not attainable, but harmful to how girls and women come to think about the value of their bodies in a digital age. This internalization of negative beliefs is called internalized sexism, which is a manifestation of male privilege.

Objectification theory asserts that within the system of patriarchy, women experience being treated as “objects” who can be minimized, dehumanized, and therefore experience violence in many forms. This objectification can drive mental health inequities for women, such as depression, anxiety, and disordered eating.

“Black Men Don’t Go To College” . . A couple of days ago, @nytimes released an article identifying the “stubborn” gender gap between Black Men and Black Women enrolling in collegiate education. I sat back and I observed the thinkpieces, the ponderings, and some decent, well researched takes. What I saw mostly? . . Was the idea that Black Men do not go to college due to some ill contrived moral or behavioral failing. Although I recognize the importance of self-determination and personal accountability? To frame the reason that Black Men enroll in college in lower numbers than Black Women as anything other than an ecological outcome? . . Is poorly researched at best, and classist/elitist at worst. Let’s get into a real, researched breakdown. Peace be to the Nation. #blackmentalhealth #mentalhealth #explorepage #blackmen #education #hbcu #culture
