Only when women are freed from oppression will true choice be possible to them. This shift must be ideologically uncomfortable for many radical feminists. But it also offers a distinct advantage. They can dismiss the flood of women who appear to chose the NRTs as lacking self-determination. They can also cancel out the possibility of such embarrassing choices cropping up in the future by simply banning them.
Every choice is made in the presence of limited options.
This is true of women today or of women in some future feminist utopia. To claim that such influences somehow negate a woman's free will is to deny that anyone ever truly chooses anything. For centuries, men have declared that women don't know their own minds. Now radical feminists mouth the same old patriarchal line. Contact author at Wendy McElroy .
