I have a friend who believes that to choose high heels, make-up, or the color pink can never be a valid feminist decision. Her thought is that the patriarchy is so much a part of every woman’s reality that it’s impossible to be aware enough of your motives, I think. (…)

Where the patriarchy and feminist theory meet: the idea that women are not, cannot be, self-aware, self-actualizing, adult human beings who are inherently capable of making decisions for themselves.
