What We Think

Bossypants is far from the wokest fare out there. It flirts with modern ideological themes but is too self-aware and rooted in observational humor to tip into full-blown woke territory. All in all, more witty memoir than woke manifesto.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

While Bossypants certainly discusses identity and gender, its focus is more on Fey’s personal experiences as a female in comedy, rather than pushing identity over storytelling. Fey’s sharp wit and self-deprecating humor keep the book grounded in individual personality instead of ideological showcases.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The book pokes fun at traditional gender roles and masculinity and often highlights modern female empowerment, but it’s more comedic than preachy. Still, some non-woke readers might see its repeated jokes about men and gender norms as a gentle ribbing against old-school values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Bossypants is certainly steeped in Fey’s progressive worldview, but it avoids entirely villainizing traditionalists. Some jokes lampoon certain conservative attitudes, but the tone remains mostly light, with enough self-parody to avoid sliding into outright monoculture.
