The feminist philosophy: "...much of feminist theory also focuses on analyzing gender inequalities and the promotion of women's rights, interests, and issues. Themes explored in feminism include discrimination, stereotyping, objectification (especially sexual objectification), oppression, and patriarchy."
So it promotes females to have equal rights as the males; free to do less/as much/more than their male equibalvents. They're also against objectifying women. But what if a female chooses to become.. say a pole dancer on her own will (http://www.wikiality.com/Johnna_Mink), she's just excerising her freedom to do whatever she wises, but she is objectifying herself at the same time. So isn't there a "loop-hole" in the feminist philosophy?
Don't get my wrong, I support the philosophy but this is the part I don't quite fully grasp.
