"They took my choice away from me", the hell is Yennefer talking about?

She says this on the 6 episode I think while arguing with Geralt when they are hunting for the dragon. What is she even talking about? Right before she was going to undergo her transformation the guy told her that if she did this she would not be able to conceive a child and she agreed to it. She made that choice willingly and nobody took it from her.

It is like the show is ignoring it's own story to push some victim hood narrative.

True. She willingly made that choice. Also, how in the world did she waste all those dudes using only melee skills in the dragon egg episode. I only remember her being trained in magic. She comes dangerously close to being a Mary Sue.

I agree. Also on a previous episode she was talking about men controlling her and how she was just a vessel. I can't understand the queen complaining about this but Yennefer? Aside from her stepfather selling her, women were in control of her life from her teacher to herself who made every decision for herself while being cruel and callous to her bf that fell for her.
