The intersection of patriarchy, sexism, unashamed misogynoir, and the politics of representation are major roadblocks to real progress.

When these forces intersect, they create a complex web of oppression and inequality, which can impede progress toward gender equality, racial justice, and social change. They reinforce each other, creating barriers that limit opportunities for women, particularly those who face intersecting forms of discrimination, especially Black women.

Overcoming these roadblocks requires addressing the root causes of patriarchy, sexism, racism, and other forms of oppression by promoting inclusivity, diversity, and intersectional approaches to representation and social change.
