Choice feminism has been discussed for years now. Years. It's the idea that a woman's agency is paramount, and whatever she does is a feminist action because she's a woman and she decided to do it.
Imagine if people declared themselves liberals but decided that whatever they thought was right was therefore a liberal ideal because they're a liberal and they said so. Can you not see how ridiculous that is?

As for alienating people, that's another subject that feminists have been discussing for years. Maybe someday you might read about how useful it is to cater to people who have absolutely no interest in educating themselves about feminist issues.
It's great that people help people IRL and care about individual women and women's issues in general. But it is just fucking offensive to treat feminism like some kind of vague hobby, and come out swinging and defending objectification in a pathetically obvious flamebait thread, using MRA talking points like "women who don't like objectification are just shaming the sexxxy wimminz!!!" cause that's so incredibly anti-feminist that only the most clueless could miss it.
