I have to say, I started this book in quite a bad headspace as I had been told that this book was patronizing, with an "holier than thou" mentality but decided to read it anyways.

I'M GLAD I DID, because it is quite the opposite.

Roxane Gay really spoke to me. I enjoyed every chapter. The author managed to explain concepts the way I wish I could have.


"No matter what what issue I have with feminism, I am a feminist. (...) Like most people, I am full of contradictions but I also don't want to be treated like shit for being a woman. I am a bad feminist. I would rather be a bad feminist than no feminist at all." - Roxane Gay
