“Bad Feminist” Roxane Gay: Is Perfection Holding You Back from Self-Acceptance?
Author, "bad feminist", and cultural icon Roxane Gay believes that self-acceptance isn’t a destination – in a society obsessed with robotic perfectionism, embracing our messy, complex humanity is a radical mindset. She attempts to welcome the parts that don’t fit the mold of her “ideal” self, including her trauma, fatness, age, lack of self-love and finding romance later in life. Roxane chooses acceptance over shame, nuance over binaries, and grace over judgement for herself and others.
