I used to say my favorite color was black to be cool, but it is pink—all shades of pink. If I have an accessory, it is probably pink. I read Vogue, and I’m not doing it ironically, though it might seem that way. I once live-tweeted the September issue.” In these funny and insightful essays, Roxane Gay takes us through the journey of her evolution as a woman (Sweet Valley High) of color (The Help) while also taking readers on a ride through culture of the last few years (Girls, Django in Chains) and commenting on the state of feminism today (abortion, Chris Brown). The portrait that emerges is not only one of an incredibly insightful woman continually growing to understand herself and our society, but also one of our culture. Bad Feminist is a sharp, funny, and spot-on look at the ways in which the culture we consume becomes who we are, and an inspiring call-to-arms of all the ways we still need to do better, coming from one of our most interesting and important cultural critics.", "image": "http://books.google.com/books/content?id=Gd6CvgEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&source=gbs_api", "language": "en", "averageRating": 3.5, "ratingsCount": 53, "categories": [ "Social Science" ], "pageCount": 336, "isbn10": "0062282719", "isbn13": "9780062282712", "googleBooks": { "id": "Gd6CvgEACAAJ", "preview": "http://books.google.com/books?id=Gd6CvgEACAAJ&dq=intitle:Bad+Feminist+by+Roxane+Gay&hl=&cd=1&source=gbs_api", "info": "http://books.google.com/books?id=Gd6CvgEACAAJ&dq=intitle:Bad+Feminist+by+Roxane+Gay&hl=&source=gbs_api", "canonical": "https://books.google.com/books/about/Bad_Feminist.html?hl=&id=Gd6CvgEACAAJ" } } ```

Definitely a very interesting book. It makes me a think a lot haha, there are so many places were there are deep rooted inequalities, even in very modern societies. I strongly identify as a feminist but Gay’s idea of being a “bad feminist” really resonated with me. Movies that I thought I liked like Dgango Unchained and books I thought I liked like Lean In are also sexist… so I don’t know what to think anymore!
