Between Freedom of Choice and Adaptative Preferences. Reflections from Feminist Theory

Main Article Content
Abstract
In this paper I propose to address the debate around adaptive preferences. This issue, analyzed extensively from various feminist perspectives, is essential to understand the theoretical discussions and proposals within the framework of women’s freedom debates. In this sense, I will try to reflect on the possibility of questioning some of the choices of those people who are in subalternized or subordinate situations. However, while I propose to address the way in which preferences are shaped by the options we have available (Hampton, 1993; Okin, 1996, 2003; Nussbaum, 2002), I intend not to lose sight of the dangers we face when putting in question the expectations, desires and decisions of women and other subalternized subjects (Jaggar, 2006; Phillips, 2009).
