厭女、女權自助餐、母豬教
紛亂世界，謬誤叢生，羞辱不斷
女性主義不是髒話，也不需膜拜
卻仍是我的答案
我不良，我不哭，我驕傲
這個社會的厭女言論永遠不嫌多，動輒冠以「母豬」攻擊，或是一網打盡指責為「女權自助餐」。而女性主義者歷來更受到許多誤解，如憤怒、嚴肅、仇男、好鬥、不具幽默感等刻板印象，有時也彷彿成為貶抑與羞辱，讓許多女性名人都想避開這個「負面又憤怒」的標籤。
小說家兼專欄作家羅珊‧蓋伊，在首部文集《不良女性主義的告白》中，坦承自己的混亂又不完美，但即使糟糕不良，都仍是個不良女性主義者。她寫下自己的成長故事，並藉由性別與種族的角度，分析社會現象與流行文化：從脫口秀主持人的強暴玩笑，檢視大眾對性暴力的輕率語言；從強暴案的報導方式，反應出檢討受害人的風氣，以及整體環境所強調的不是如何制止性暴力，而是如何防止遭到性暴力；整個社會對身體形象的執迷，讓減肥實境秀不僅「卸下」胖子的心防，也卸下多餘的體重，將減重打造成最激勵人心的寓言；剖析影視娛樂如電影《姊妹》與《自由之心》、影集《女孩我最大》、小說《格雷的五十道陰影》所隱藏的歧視或偏見。
蓋伊透過幽默自嘲又犀利的風格，推翻社會對女性主義的刻板印象，反對將女性主義視為負面貶抑的標籤。她認為女性主義沒有既定的正統樣貌，也不需信仰全體一致的女性主義。重要的是，呈現多元的樣貌，尊重彼此的差異，讓紛亂的世界聽到女性主義的多元聲音。
身為女性主義，不完美也沒關係，不良也很好。
From Roxane Gay comes this collection of essays spanning politics, criticism, and feminism from one of the most-watched young cultural observers of her generation—now available in a limited Olive Edition.
“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.
“Roxane Gay is the brilliant girl-next-door: your best friend and your sharpest critic. . . . She is by turns provocative, chilling, hilarious; she is also required reading.”—People
