In “Bad Feminist: Take One,�� Roxane Gay returns to the concept of bad feminism, this time in reference to other public figures, including Sheryl Sandberg and her book Lean In (also a previous RWAC pick). She says:

“The critical response to Lean In is not entirely misplaced, but it is emblematic of the dangers of public womanhood. Public women, and feminists in particular, have to be everything to everyone; when they aren’t, they are excoriated for their failure... Perhaps we can consider Lean In for what it is--just one more reminder that the rules are different for girls, no matter who they are and no matter what they do.�� (313)

If you read Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead, and if you’re familiar with the pushback Sandberg received as a result of it, do you agree with Gay’s characterization? Why or why not?
