These expectations, which are centered around patriarchal norms of femininity, politeness, and deference to male authority, lead to disproportionate arrests when defied by Black women and girls (Freiburger & Burke, 2011; Nanda, 2012; Saar et al., 2015). In addition, stories about sexual violence, assaults on pregnant women, and gendered profiling were all included in Black Twitter conversations using the #SayHerName hashtag. Through these narratives, Black Twitter did not merely append female faces to male-centered narratives, but also radically shifted how state violence is imagined and contested within the space.
