What specific gender ideas did the British have about slave women?

The British held specific gender ideas regarding slave women that often combined notions of race, sexuality, and subservience. They viewed enslaved women primarily through a lens of exploitation, perceiving them as both laborers and sexual objects, leading to a hypersexualization of their identities. This dual perception reinforced stereotypes that justified their oppression, dehumanizing them while simultaneously exploiting their reproductive capabilities for economic gain. Furthermore, these views reflected broader societal attitudes towards women, where enslaved women were seen as inferior and subservient not only because of their race but also due to their gender.
