(frozen comment) no subject
It all seems to come down to semantics over the word "choice" which is what I was doing with my first comment (e.g. the implication that other options, particularly viable options, are available). I believe what the writer of that linked article from the comments against choice feminism (http://www.xojane.com/entertainment/choice-feminism-isn%27t-a-choice) is saying, looking at their 'cake or death' analogy, is that it's so hard to go against the patriarchy that it may as well be a non-choice like "go with society or die, or at least struggle way, way, way harder than somebody who joins us." What I'm hearing is "you are a puppet with no mind" and not "these choices are so not viable as to be not even considered choices." Probably because I don't consider those choices to be inviable just because they're hard. Lots of big life choices have unequal outputs of effort to make a reality.
If I can choose between two professions and one will be much harder than the other, and I choose the harder one because it's in a field I enjoy, was that not a choice? Was it not a choice if I picked the easier one? Is it a choice if they're both equally unavailable to women, but not a choice if one is considered a more male-dominated field?
How is it not a choice to pick the harder thing, to say "I'm going to keep my own name when I get married and suffer all the inevitable resulting bullshit" for example? If that's a choice, how is the opposite not a choice, if the other one is available?
