Choice feminism

Choice feminism is a critical term for expressions of feminism that emphasize women’s freedom of choice.[1][2] Such expressions seek to be “non-judgmental” and to reach as many allies as possible, which is considered depoliticization by its critics.[2]

Despite its individualistic aspect, choice feminism differs from individualist feminism in that it is not deliberately a movement. It has been associated with neoliberalism and postfeminism.[3][4]
