DA3 already had a powerful, bald, black woman as a companion so Bioware really has to up the ante if they want to be more woke in DA4. It must be revealed that in Tevinter the slaves are all woke and wear nametags with their pronouns, and that every slave-owner is white and speaks with a southern drawl.
Such a weird character arc she has too. She can become their equivalent of Pope, even though it should be impossible as she is a mage. Then if you do she sticks to the status quo on Mages and causes everything to be fucked up by not resolving the Mage-Templar contradictions.
Obviously they can’t resolve the contradictions in just one subvariant of an ending that most people won’t see, but that just raises the question of why they went with that as an option in the first place.
Also I forget, what were the two factions actually arguing for? Templars wanted to eat rocks and kill all mages, mages wanted to not be killed?
The three Pope options were her, Leliana and Cassandra. She was probably the least popular so it kind of makes sense to give her that ending. Leliana had the most revolutionary one where she freed the mages and allowed them to govern themselves, which ended up causing lots of conflict.
Cassandra had the centrist option of making the mages cops partnered alongside the Templars (instead of their prisoners) and that fixed most things.

I’m guessing there are women in it without

Pretty much.
