That’s why the term “misogynoir” exists. It’s both, and they pile on and increase each other.

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.
