"In Gone Girl, Amy talks about the temptation of being the woman a man wants, but ultimately she doesn’t give in to the temptation to be “the girl who likes every fucking thing he likes and doesn’t ever complain.” Unlikable women refuse to give in to that temptation. They are, instead, themselves. They accept the consequences of their choices, and those consequences become stories worth reading."

a dear friend of mine is currently going through a phase where she's doubting every single thing she knows about feminism because she's started listening to jordan peterson and ben shapiro 🙄 reading this book in the hopes that i can recommend it to her and try to tell her in more ways than one... that you don't have to be a perfect feminist in order to be a feminist.
