I think there's no equivalent term for women because any negative behavior on our part is already called out, and added to existing misogynistic tropes (whether true or not). Men are able to act out in ways that women have never been allowed to. Men's behavior is not policed the way women's behavior is.

To be clear, black men are policed within the broader society but not within our community. Y'all behave like utter fools with very little consequences.
