In her book "Bad Feminist," Roxane Gay discusses the dynamics of female friendships and the implications of predominantly male friendships. She emphasizes that while it's acceptable to have friends of different genders, one should consider what it means to prioritize male friendships over female ones, particularly in a feminist context.

Gay encourages readers to reflect on their social circles and the value of female connections. She suggests that celebrating a lifestyle centered primarily around male friendships may indicate a need for introspection regarding one's views on female solidarity and empowerment.
