Moynihan Rept. & language

[edit]

The section on The Moynihan Report should probably begin with, um, what the report was. Instead it proceeds like a secondary source that can assume the reader already knows.

Also, I got lost in the following sentence, which is either a double or triple negative: "Further, Spillers claims that black women are uniquely positioned between black men and white women, often forced to choose their respective identities and cannot act satisfactorily on neither their gender nor their sex." Also, there's too many clauses here, and the pedant in me wants a serial comma. But, honestly, I'm not sure what the editor meant here. (This sentence begins the third paragraph in the Critical Work section.) Josh a brewer (talk) 00:33, 29 June 2023 (UTC) Josh a brewer (talk) 00:33, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
