Hey Girl, Equality is Sexy: The Badass Chick Behind ‘Feminist Ryan Gosling’ On Her New Book

You’re a black woman, spreading the message of feminism through the face of a white male. Is that weird?

Doing it from this point of view was intentional. I mean, if I was just picking actors I was attracted to, it would have been Feminist Idris Elba. But part of the fun for me was replicating this trope from a younger white guy who’s not identified as a feminist, coming from the voice of a black feminist. In the beginning, a lot of people didn’t get that that was part of the joke.

If you’re in NYC — don’t forget the book party is tonight.
