She is doing the tour simply because “the opportunity came up”. New West End Company BRANDPOST | PAID CONTENTĪlthough the UK tour is extensive - Gay is set to speak in London (where she’ll give one of the headlining interviews at the Southbank’s Women of the World festival), Edinburgh, Liverpool, Bath and Exeter - it is not pegged to a single book release.With honest, brave thought leaders like Gay at the helm of the movement, her hope may very soon become reality. "I am trying to become better in how I think and say and do - without abandoning everything that makes me human. "I am a bad feminist, I am a good woman," Gay says. Once she found her voice, Gay realized that her words may in fact help other women overcome similar obstacles in the future: "Through writing and feminism I also found that if I was a little bit brave, another woman might hear me and see me and recognize that none of us are the nothing the world tries to tell us we are." I found my voice again and I started to believe that my voice is powerful beyond measure." "I learned to write like them, and then I learned to write as myself. "I read the words of women who showed me I was not nothing," she says. Gay says that after experiencing an act of violence and being made to feel like she was "nothing," she looked to courageous women who came before her to heal and find her voice. Feminists frequently blame individuals rather than sexist systems of oppression. We have the right to make choices about our bodies, free from legislative oversight we have the right to respect." 4. We have the right to easy, affordable access to birth control. "Women are equal to men we have the right to move through the world as we choose, to be free from harassment or violence. "I hold certain truths to be self-evident," Gay says. Yet despite these supposed feminist transgressions, or that she's a self-described "mess" and "full of contradictions," she still holds core feminist truths above all else. I want no part of any of that." She also watches The Bachelor, enjoys fashion magazines and buys into fairytale endings.
"I am utterly mortified by my music choices," she says, adding that she also firmly believes in "manwork" or "anything I don't want to do, including all domestic tasks, but also bug-killing, trash removal, lawn care and vehicle maintenance. "When I drive to work, I listen to thuggish rap at a very loud volume, even though the lyrics are degrading to women, these lyrics offends me to my core," Gay says, specifically citing the "classic" Ying Yang Twins song "Salt Shaker," which, she notes, includes particularly poetic lyrics such as "'Make it work with your wet T-shirt / bitch you gotta shake it / until your camel starts to hurt.'"
