Gendered Colorism is a theoretical construct within the sociology of race and gender that denotes the intersectional privileging or marginalization of individuals based on the synergistic effects of skin tone and gender, whereby societal valuations of lightness or darkness in skin color operate differentially across and within gendered experiences in African American communities.
