This perspective is a short reflection on the South African #MenAreTrash campaign. The movement arose within the context of deep inequalities, shaped by colonial racism and mediated by ideas of gender, and where structures and systems of racism and classism continue to exist in various formations. The essay critiques the campaign in its prioritising of gender and camouflaging of race and class in ways that invisibilise the impact of structures and systems of racial and socio-economic inequalities for black men. Within the global South, this kind of populist feminist rhetoric of black men as trash works against the hard-won gains made by feminists regarding the centrality of race in feminist theorising and practice
