**　　厭女、女權自助餐、母豬教 　　紛亂世界，謬誤叢生，羞辱不斷 　　女性主義不是髒話，也不需膜拜 　　卻仍是我的答案 　　我不良，我不哭，我驕傲** **　　★TED百萬點閱 　　★紐約時報暢銷排行榜 　　★美國公共廣報電台（NPR）2014年度好書 　　★加州大學洛杉磯分校（UCLA）2015-2016推薦書單** 　　這個社會的厭女言論永遠不嫌多，動輒冠以「母豬」攻擊，或是一網打盡指責為「女權自助餐」。而女性主義者歷來更受到許多誤解，如憤怒、嚴肅、仇男、好鬥、不具幽默感等刻板印象，有時也彷彿成為貶抑與羞辱，讓許多女性名人都想避開這個「負面又憤怒」的標籤。 　　小說家兼專欄作家羅珊‧蓋伊，在首部文集《不良女性主義的告白》中，坦承自己的混亂又不完美，但即使糟糕不良，都仍是個不良女性主義者。她寫下自己的成長故事，並藉由性別與種族的角度，分析社會現象與流行文化：從脫口秀主持人的強暴玩笑，檢視大眾對性暴力的輕率語言；從強暴案的報導方式，反應出檢討受害人的風氣，以及整體環境所強調的不是如何制止性暴力，而是如何防止遭到性暴力；整個社會對身體形象的執迷，讓減肥實境秀不僅「卸下」胖子的心防，也卸下多餘的體重，將減重打造成最激勵人心的寓言；剖析影視娛樂如電影《姊妹》與《自由之心》、影集《女孩我最大》、小說《格雷的五十道陰影》所隱藏的歧視或偏見。 　　蓋伊透過幽默自嘲又犀利的風格，推翻社會對女性主義的刻板印象，反對將女性主義視為負面貶抑的標籤。她認為女性主義沒有既定的正統樣貌，也不需信仰全體一致的女性主義。重要的是，呈現多元的樣貌，尊重彼此的差異，讓紛亂的世界聽到女性主義的多元聲音。 　　身為女性主義，不完美也沒關係，不良也很好。 專文推薦 　　吳曉樂（作家） 　　康庭瑜（政治大學新聞系助理教授） 　　蔡宜文（udn名人堂、女人迷專欄作家） 　　（依姓氏筆畫序） 共同推薦 　　李屏瑤（作家） 　　周芷萱（女性主義者） 　　苗博雅（社會民主黨全國委員） 　　溫朗東（相對論...
