As long as you can make a choice it is liberation. “Freedom is the capacity to make choices, oppression the inability to make choices”.
It’s basically diluting the politics from feminism and emphasizing choice over structural change. It sidesteps the fact that a liberty to make personal choices is in a privilege and needs structural change. That “choosing” to be a housewife is not a possible option for most people for example. As well that people who aren’t white nor/or cis nor/or straight do often miss access to the same infrastructure in order to get to the same place as their cis/straight/white counterparts.
I don’t know if I worded this well, but I tried my best.
I actually agree that one’s quality of freedom can be equated to the array of choice available to them. But it logically follows, quite obviously IMO, that in order to increase freedom for others you must help open up access to choices for them. If they don’t do that… Then what do they do?
wth is a choice feminist?
