I addressed the myth of “choice feminism” in a short talk I gave at the Sydney Opera House earlier this year:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOmIIAact4s …
Feminism is about the collective liberation of women as a social class. Feminism is not about personal choice.https://theconversation.com/no-feminism-is-not-about-choice-40896 …

@femfreq I would say it's about both; liberation and choice go hand-in-hand. It's only problematic when one topic smokescreens the other. -
@femfreq Sometimes "choice" is used to avoid talking social structures or social norms; others "liberation" is used to invalidate a choice. - Show replies

@Ethelmonster@GynoStar It's saying it's not "all" about choice. The issue is that people try to simplify feminism so it looks nicer.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@Ethelmonster@GynoStar It's about social structure keeping people down before "choice" even enters the equation.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
