I’ve
read this book so many times, and it still preaches to me! The book,
“Bad Feminist” by Roxane Gay analyzes and critics herself
and how she (in a way) contradicts herself when it comes to the
feminist ideology. Calling herself, a“ bad feminist”. She gives
examples regarding the taste in music she sometimes enjoys, though it
can be degrading and demeaning towards women. Which, I can relate to.
I too, from time to time listen to music that projects a negative
attitude towards women. Another example Gay gives is that she shaves.
Which not shaving doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a feminist, but
often times most feminists do. Which, I can also relate too because
I shave. While relating to pop culture and her own experiences, Gay
understands that herself and no one is perfect but it is best to keep
feminism as simple as possible even if it can be a little complex.
It’s
a great read!
Here is also a link to an article she wrote pertaining to her book!
