In her book "Hunger," Roxane Gay reflects on the immense scrutiny women face regarding their experiences and testimonies. Despite the persistent demand for women to share their stories, there remains a troubling tendency for many to doubt or dismiss these narratives. This highlights a broader societal issue where women's voices are often not fully believed or valued.

Gay's insights reveal the challenges women encounter in expressing their truths and how societal biases can lead to skepticism. Her work emphasizes the importance of believing women's stories, advocating for a culture that listens and supports their experiences rather than questioning them.
