In “Bad Feminist,” Roxane Gay uses a lot of quotes throughout her reading for emphasis or connections to what she is saying. Some of these quotes that she had included are, “women who don’t want to be treated like shit,” and “looking great is a matter of feminism. No liberated woman would misrepresent the cause by appearing less than hale and happy.” Both of these quotes can speak a lot about what we think and feel as a woman. But, the one quote that was quoted by Roxane Gay that I took personally was “Real feminists earn a living, have money and means of their own.” It is located on page 163, fourth paragraph down. This one really stuck out to me because I have this saying before. Basically, it is saying that a real woman goes out, gets a job and make their own income rather than being a “fake” woman who sits at home and has everyone else make the money for them. You can be a woman and be working twice has hard for that living and not have any money compared to someone who is not working hard but who has money.
