In Freud's case this lack of scientific clarity becomes very serious since the psychoanalysis has therapeutic pretensions. Furthermore, Mill seems to question the term nature by opposing to it the concept of freedom of choice. He seems to be saying that giving women the choose to select the social roles they want to play is the most useful thing to do. If it is true that women are determined by nature to perform certain role, it is wise to let nature follow its own course by not putting constraints that will force women to do what is, anyway, in their own nature. To constraint is what is natural is a contradiction in terms and creating such constraints to force women to do what they are supposed to do anyway is a waste of unnecessary theoretical energy.
Freedom of choice seems here the most logical practical alternative .
