6. No, I never see that kind of feminist on DU.
I do sometimes see the kind that urges other women to question some of the choices they made to think about whether they were actually made out of a free and conscious "choice" or as a result of subtle and not-so-subtle social pressures of which they may not previously have been aware. However, it's good and healthy for all of us to examine the decisions we make in life to determine how many of them reflect our true free will and how many of them are more reflective of society's expectations of us--as women or as anything else--than of true choice.

I hear a lot about "choice feminism" these days. That's fine, but before women engage in what they call "choice feminism," I think it's good for them to make sure they truly have a choice. And that men have the same choices.
