A semite has more genes in common with another semite than with a non-semite so you're either born a semite or you're not and have no choice in the matter. But nobody is born a Muslim because being a Muslim has nothing to do with genes. A Muslim is a person who has more ideas (not genes) in common with another Muslim than with a non-Muslim, and you do have a choice in that. And the same is true for radical feminism, genes are not involved, even someone with a Y chromosome could be a radical feminist.
