A collection of essays spanning politics, criticism, and feminism from one of the most-watched young cultural observers of her generation, Roxane Gay.
“Pink is my favorite color. 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.

I embrace the label of bad feminist beacuse I am messy. I'm not trying to be an example. I am not trying to be perfect. I am not trying to say I have all the answers. I am not trying to say I'm right. I am just trying -- trying to supoort what I believe in, trying to do some good in this world, trying to make some noise with my writing while also being myself: a woman who loves pink and likes to get freaky and sometimes dances her ass off to music she knows, she knows, is terrible for women and who sometimes plays dumb with repairemen because it's just easier to let them feel macho than it is to stand on the moral high ground.
I believe in equal opportunities for women and men. I believe in women having reproductive freedom and affordable and unfettered access to the health care they need.... (查看原文)
I enjoy difference, but once in a while, I do want to catch a glimpse of myself in others.
When I worked with those kids in graduate school, I understood why my parents showed us how we had to work three times harder than white kids to get half the consideration. They did not impart this reality with bitterness. They were protecting us. (查看原文)
本书的第一章 非常有力 截取部分贴在这。 Feminism is flawed, but it offers, at its best, a way to navigate this shifting cultural climate. Feminism has certainly helped me find my voice. Feminism has helped me believe my voice matters, even in this world wher...

女权的关键点不是革命，不是要推翻什么东西，而是让所有人，包括男性和女性，都获得更舒适和自由的生活。

翻了一下，大概是a queer black send generation women成长史吧。只能说确实如作者所言，这是一本“真诚”的书。

有趣。我是不大吃杂文集结出版的啦主题太散。这位作者微妙的成了意领，单纯的看观点很有趣，要做意领估计自己也觉得吃不消吧。
