The ones that bother me the most are these prescriptive feminists who are saying that a real woman would have done x, y or z, but certainly not what Angelina did.
Angelina's article in the Times left a lot to be discussed - how can lower income families afford genetic testing if that's what they want to do, and surgery if necessary? What are the ethical considerations involved in not providing the option to all women? How can we support women who make the choice of prophylactic surgery? How can we support women who choose to not have surgery and wait and see what happens?
