Categorizing people and yourself can cause pressure and even a divide among other women. Gay wants to express her concern that women shouldn’t act a certain way then they want to be in life. This complexity of categorizing yourself is shown through articles that she includes in her novel , “Bad feminists.” She believes she is a “Bad feminists” to resist the pressure of wanting to be someone else. Gay includes a perspective from actress Melissa Leo who states, “we are categorizing and labeled from the moment we come into this world by gender, race, hair color, eye color, and so fourth.”(pg.164) This is a problem that Gay brings up because one main problem with feminists is that they don’t mention women of color or those who don’t fit the role of a feminist. This concept of feminisms is a factor that leads to serotyping and a damaging issue in society. She confronts this issue by addressing these race issue often overlooked by many people. Her ultimate goal is to make feminisms more inclusive for all women.
