Feminism is Not About Choice

If I hear one more woman declare that feminism is about choice and that what she chooses is feminist because it's her choice I'm going to scream.

Feminism is not about Choice, feminism is about Power.

Generally speaking, people who have more power have more choices. Feminism is based on the observation that women as a group have less power then men as a group and that this is a result of how society is set up. Feminism is about allowing women access to the power previously denied them. Sure you can choose not to take it and choose to be dependent. I won't say you're wrong because I think everyone should choose what's right for them. But it doesn't have a damn thing to do with feminism.

Should people judge you and be mean if you take his name? No. However, in no universe is that a feminist choice. That's fine, everyone make choices that aren't. I make choices that aren't feminist all the time. So does everyone. However, stop lying and insisting that everyone make you feel better.

Own your choices.
