RHETORIL ANALYSIS OF ROXANE GAY’S “BAD FEMIST”
In her 2012 article “Bad Femist,” published by VQR, Roxane Gay suggts that many of the tensns and negative nnotatns that acpany the term femism n be attributed to a damagg, socially-nstcted ncept emed sential femism. Gay, an Amerin sayist and mentator, scrib sential femism as “the notn that there are right and wrong ways to be a femist,” leavg those who do not live up to societal expectatns feelg unf or aquate to intify themselv as such (pg. 1). * roxane gay bad feminist *

Gay is a pop culture enthiast and many of her says exame ntemporary race and genr relatns through the filter of current cultural touchston. I haven’t had televisn sce 1993 and I don't read, I soaked up what Gay had to say about the pop culture phenoms, even if I uldn’t relate to the tails.
Gay draws the clive readg le at irrponsible wrg of poor qualy that celebrat the subjugatn and abe of women and at wrg and film that craps all over the black Amerin experience. There's nothg thoughtful or tertg here; the llectn is one pretext after another for Gay to publicly exhib her trivialy and bad taste, five herself for and mand applse.
The repeated route is a) Gay adms to lovg some god awful schlock b) Gay ponrs her own urage makg this disclosure c) Gay disvers nsumg this schlock is really both personally virtuo and polilly salient (which are distguishable). Like a tween's book report, the shallow "analysis" is limed to scriptive characterizatn; the one relatn Gay has to the fictns is intifitn and fantasy.
