Roxane Gay argues that highlighting the ongoing misogyny that affects women should not be misconstrued as mere anger; instead, it is a necessary response to injustice. By labeling a woman's anger as inappropriate, society places them in a disadvantaged position, effectively dismissing their struggles and the realities they face. This perspective also undermines valid disagreements, suggesting a lack of awareness regarding the strides made toward gender equality.

Gay emphasizes that while feminists acknowledge their achievements and recognize their privileges, they do not intend to overlook the challenges still present in society. They celebrate their victories but remain committed to continuing the fight for those women who still lack basic comforts and rights. The call is for a collective effort to push for more progress, rather than becoming complacent with current gains.
