Yes. Many African immigrant women are very sweet and feminine from experience (8)

And yet they still face similar barriers in the west. (-2)

Guessing it has something more to do with than just estrogen (14)

Estrogen is what makes women. It's the core of femininity. It's the opposite of testosterone. But what more does it have to do with than estrogen ? (-7)

You haven't seen the "vast majority" of African Americans. You think Africans are phenotyoically diverse? African Americans are even more diverse. They are literally a mixture of various African ethnic groups, Native American ethnic groups, and European ethnic groups - with each individual having a varying amount but some how you think you can generalize the features across them?A more nuanced statement would be "on average African Americans have relatively wider noses". Not necessarily bulbous - that is a trait that is common amongst every ethnic group. (6)

I have eyes to observe🤷‍♂️ (-3)

It's because of racism and perpetuated during slavery. That is also where black women wearing head wraps/bonnets came from. White women( specifically white slave owner's wives) were so incredibly angry about their husbands raping the slaves and their husbands "falling in love" with the slaves that they perpetuated a lot of stereotypes about black women being ugly/masculine/pathetic/etc that perpetuate into beauty standards today. We see this in the laws that had to be created to prevent white women from killing female slaves and murdering slave children that were fathered by white men. This is also where the stereotype of the black jezebel came in because they are inherently more feminine which translates into their high fertility. But during spaces times their hair was often cut or butchered in some ways because the slave masters would claim their "beauty tricked" them into raping them.It was further created by the welfare queen stereotype of black women being "loose/loud/ and obno...

"Femininity" is just crab mentality. Crabs in a bucket will attempt to pull down crabs escaping, people who see no way of escaping will often pull other's of their group down or attempt to curry favor with those in power by helping to pull other's down. Statistics show women who have undergone female genital mutilation as children are more likely to enforce female genital mutilation onto other young girls including their daughters.Foot binding started because of one king with a fetish but continued to exist for hundreds of years because of a combination of men finding it attractive and women bending themselves to please along with mother's and grandmother's who had suffered the same fate breaking and binding their daughters feet.I've known a lot of women who brag about how much they can endure and go without such as agreeing to s*x acts they don't want, claiming they're okay with their husband or boyfriend cheating, that they "understand" when he's abusive.

This is really only an issue with black American women, not black women in general. In my experience i tend to like non-American black women more than American black women. I think its the culture that makes many black American women come off as masculine and unappealing to many men. Feminine black women are everywhere. (9)
