Your personal freedom to experience yourself and life as you wish is not being limited.

Feminism wasn’t supposed to make us miserable. It was supposed to make us free; to give women the power to shape their fortunes and work for a more just world.

We want our children to become who they are- and a developed person is, above all, free. But freedom as we define it doesn't mean doing what you want.
