Feminism is about personal choices first and foremost
well this part isn't universal or a good summary of feminism in the least.

[philstar22]

Then what would you say feminism is if it isn't giving women the freedom to make choices about their own life?

[meadowphoenix]

feminism is the liberation of women from oppression.

emphasizing the making of choices does two unwarranted things. it brings what is a movement about a marginalized class into the realm of internal personal and individual judgment, which is quite beside the point, and relatedly it confuses what the oppression actually is. the oppression is mostly not in limiting choice itself, but in limiting which social consequences derive from those choices (choice feminism tends to elide those to things into one), and that is significantly independent of the ability to make them, AND whether given the circumstances that choice is fulfilling and/or beneficial (or not) individually*.

as long as choosing traditional things for one class of people costs to choose differently, and which cost is not borne by another class, then that is oppressive to the class which bears the costs of choosing differently regardless of, well, liking. Everyone in a class could choose what they want to do, and as long as choice A costs singularly for that class in a way choice B doesn't? Then there is no liberation for that class despite individual fulfillment with either choice.

*This is not even getting into those choices which fulfill and satisfy and benefit individually, but which support an increased social cost onto vulnerable members of the same class, which is also a problem.
