I think feminism today means choices. Women now have choice of jobs, choice of colleges, choice of lifestyles, choice of life partners, reproductive choices, the choice on who, when and where to have sex, the choice not to have sex at all, the choice of staying home and raising children, the choice to work outside the home and raise children, the choice not to raise children at all, the choice to open a door or have the door opened for her, the choice to let someone pay for a meal or to pay for herself. It is all choices.
Parts of feminism have become a caricature of the ideal. But the same can be said about the various political parties. I still prefer to think of the choices we have gained from the work of people past.
