Haha! I do find some of the choices vapid in the same way I find video games vapid. ;) However that falls under the "Playing with the gravel on the side of the road of life."

However, implying that it's not their free choice is just so dehumanizing.

So true! And there is a lot of assumption that goes into that. How do you know the difference between a woman making a "fully-informed" choice vs one that's not? You don't.

There are issues with choice feminism, but that doesn't mean it's wholly wrong, or that the other side of the issue doesn't need to step back and re-evaluate themselves on occasion. Especially those who think making other people feel shitty is the right way to go about building equality.

Exactly! I also hate the idea that somehow women are incapable of doing the research they need for themselves.

There are issues with choice feminism

There are some issues with choice feminism, but the good thing about it is that it doesn't take away choices or rights from anyone. There are valid questions for things like "Why are more women choosing to be nurses?" The answer may be inertia (in which case shaming the women who choose it in part due to cultural exceptions is only pissing off female nurses who are generally happy with their choice) or the answer may be a tendency of being female (and again, questioning it just pisses off female nurses).

I think it's far, far better to assume women are capable of making their own choices, and give them the right to make decisions without it being questioned due to gender. And yes, this goes for women policing to make sure other women make the "right" choice.

Totally and completely agree. Feminism is about procuring rights for women, but choice is an important part of that. I think women, as individuals, should think about possible influences on the decisions they make, but as individuals and not with someone else coming in and telling them how to do so or judging whether or not the outcome of their decision making process falls into some preconceived notion of right or wrong. Which I think is where a lot of people lose sight of things.

I figure most women do that already as it's part of being an adult, and I'd rather assume they do than assume they don't. Also, even if something is influencing them, what difference does that make? If they're happy with the decision, they should be allowed make it, no matter what the reason. (Now the influences themselves may be an issue, but that's the potential problem, not the women who make choices under the influences.)

Personally I'll probably disagree with a lot of choices they do make, but that's neither here nor there.
