Bad Feminist by Roxane Gay

funny informative inspiring fast-paced

4.75

It was a funny and heavy read at the same time. The essays were lighthearted at first and then got heavier and heavier. I felt rage and helplessness and still kept reading. They were about books, movies, games, journalism, social media and they were about race, gender, crime, birth control. It felt like a conversation I have with friends about my helplessness and frustrations about being a woman. I think that’s the greatest testimony to the writing that even after being such a smart academic her writings felt like that of a friend. It’s not an in-depth exploration that goes into solution finding but a reassurance that even if flawed you’re feminism is still needed.
