That's why the term "misogynoir" exists. It's both, and they pile on and increase each other.

The more general term is "intersectionality"

Absolutely. I was thinking specifically about intersectionality when I wrote that, but misogynoir also applies.

I didn't want to simply write "that's intersectionality" and leave though, that's why I wrote about a more practical example instead

misogynoir

I'm trying to work what kind of film genre that would be.

Probably a mix between 1950s film noir (read: well-dressed white men in fedoras slapping hysterical dames) and 1970s blaxploitation film (read: well-dressed black pimps in capes slapping back-talking street workers).

The fusion of tropes probably means that the women depicted are either given cartoonish-level plot armour to endure the abuse, or, more darkly, never make it past the first scene.
