What are Roxane Gay's arguments about "Why feminism is flawed"? joyce_wangxx https://padlet.com/joyce_wangxx/Bookmarks/wish/2106416627 - Roxane Gay proposed that the fundamental reason that feminism is flawed is because human beings are flawed, and we are the ones initiating feminist belief and its complementary activities.

We learn that this type of feminism has given her peace and power to act as her genuine self.

    Roxanne Gay identifies herself as a bad Feminist because she admits that as a human, inevitably she is flawed and states that she is “not trying to be perfect”. Her view on feminism is to support the movement whilst also being herself, however in order to be herself comfortably, some of her actions contradict the core beliefs of feminism such as enjoying pop culture that demonetises women.

Therefore, Roxanne wrote the collection of essays to take the role of leadership by raising her voice as a “bad feminist”, to offer insights on the collective culture and how the audiences might consume it. It also examines other concepts with inclusiveness, such as racism. She is trying to make sense of the world, to raise the voice and show how the world can be better.]]> 2022-03-22 01:02:03 UTC https://padlet.com/joyce_wangxx/Bookmarks/wish/2106419810 Question 3: What are Roxane's arguments about "The problem with movements" ? joyce_wangxx https://padlet.com/joyce_wangxx/Bookmarks/wish/2106422806 • associated only with the most visible figures, the people with the biggest platforms and the loudest, most provocative voices
