While the sex-positive movement has made a significant contribution to the advancement of women's sexuality, much of this work has emphasized 'positive liberty,' that is, women's freedom to expand sexual expression and sexual diversity. This work has largely ignored women's freedom from oppressive mandates and requirements about their sexuality, that is, 'negative liberty.' There is a fundamental tension between women's freedom to do what they want, and freedom from doing what others require of them One can say much the same of men. Yet who cares of the freedom of a CEO to come out as gay when his firm abuses workers like Apple? Are some freedoms more important than others?.

When you put he, she or it together you get hesheorit, the technical term for rocking horse droppings (it works when you say it).There are questions about whether god has free will. Once you are good and know everything, what choice is left? The Hindu urging is not towards fatalism - at least as I understand it in ignorance, trips to Wiki and chats with my mate Lal. The "saint", of course, is never free to choose, as she suffers no temptation to be bad. In western philosophy we tend to consider self-mastery (gender again) and rightly ordered appetite as a category of free will discussion - all categories being subject to optimism and pessimism.We have a female Bishop in Anglican stuff here. This is good, yet I see freedom in an absence of bishops. Freedom is freedom to and freedom from at the same time. The self is always late in time, weirdly disjointed from it. Many of our words suffer something similar.losing meaning in over-definition. "Choice" is presumably as aspect of free will, yet what choice is there when there are no alternatives, or false ones of a thousand channels of tat to "choose" from and the off button (maybe to never switch on again?) and chronically corrupt political parties to "vote for".We can choose to leave the human hive, but do we then survive as human? The ant and bee die. Omega pack animals put up with awful treatment rather than be isolated. What of the slave making free choices?

Just because you (no matter of how you conceive yourself) are made entirely of the essence of the uncreated God ... it does not make you a god.

Freedom is only a mental construct based on perception. I am not free to fly.I agree that it is up to us to remove negative feelings. But anger is also a right. If God is in each of us why do you refer to God as "He"?

It is up to us to remove negative feelings from our hearts and keep good feelings and emotions , it is up to us to change our attitudes and thinking and act and behave in a rational and humanitarian way. Although God is our innermost Being , He is so also of all of us and thus separate from us as we are all separate from each other , and as such it is our choice to keep faith in him and not lose hope even in the most dire circumstances.--
