Oh, certainly not. I meant in the case of what freedom is, some people seem to think it extends only so far as they're own views of it. So you see a lot of people being labeled "not really feminist" because their views don't align with a standard measure. The idea that someone would of their own free will choose to be different never occurs to them.

Ah, gotcha.

I remember a copy of Ms Magazine while I was - in college, I think? With Gloria Steinem, bell hooks, Urvashi Vaid, and maybe one other women on the cover, and they cover tag "Feminists Don't Agree about everything - who says they have to?"

And I wondered, who said they did to begin with? (Then I started analyzing the relative position of each of the women on the cover to one another and what that MEANT. Remember, college student.)

As my friend Kendra said to me one time "Everyone has their own politics." Our opinions rarely mesh 100% with any given "party line" (and I tend to be suspicious of those who do, it implies to me a lack of free thinking.)
