A review by kaelaceleste
Bad Feminist by Roxane Gay

5.0

Probably a 4.5 honestly but I loved it so I rounded up whatever. This was on my list for a long time and I’m so glad I finally got my hands on it. I didn’t love every essay but I did love most of them and I thought they got better as they went on. I saw some reviews saying they didn't like the pop culture references but I actually loved them. Some of my favorite essays were Typical First Year Professor, How We All Lose, Reaching for Catharsis, the Illusion of Safety, and pretty much everything from Beyond the Measure of Men to the end of the book. Especially the last few lines…I’d rather be a bad feminist than not a feminist at all. A new favorite!
