Roxane Gay's book "Not That Bad: Dispatches from Rape Culture" highlights the urgent need to challenge the prevailing power dynamics where primarily white men make decisions about women's rights and their deservedness of authority. This issue extends beyond mere representation; it affects women from all backgrounds, undermining their autonomy and voice in various spheres of life.

Gay argues that for true progress to occur, society must dismantle the existing structures of power that perpetuate inequality and enable a select group to dictate the experiences and capabilities of women. Empowering women to take charge of their own narratives is essential for fostering genuine agency and equality in all positions.
