And that is exactly what Ilyka is saying, and has been saying for years. (Me too.)

You have just given us a perfect example of the type of strawfeminist argument that is used against us.

There are those that you describe as straw feminists who actually behave in that way as well as those who attempt to go against feminism. There are those who call themselves pro choice who only mean “as long as what you choose is what I determine to be your choice”.

Whether they are pro or anti, the mistake is the same. An honest feminist accepts as valid the differences between people and does not insist that everyone must be the same. A person who wants a full time career in business or as a mom is to be accepted because that is what she wants rather than following an agenda.

The only one who has the authority as well as the wisdom to make a decision for someone is G-d, and He (masculine used as a language artifact only) does so because He is omniscient. No human being can be.
