I need help on my essay outline.
How could I break down my sub-topic: personal expression into two using the following points; freedom of thought, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of conscious, freedom to make choices and freedom to travel?
Freedom to travel, I mean to go anywhere you want to go without consenting to any authorities.
Also, are equal opportunities, personal expression and sexual freedom all relate to "independent freedom" (liberty, democracy, rights, etc.) ? I'm asking this because I'm using "independent freedom" as my focus and to formulate my thesis.

For sexual freedom, I mean like no emasculation or empowerment.
And for my two points mentioned above, are they the same, am I repeating myself?

Another teacher and I have read your post several times and I'm still confused.
You want to break your topic of "personal expression" into two parts -- right? It seems to me that you could divide it between internal freedoms -- thought, consciousness, make choices -- and external or behavioral freedoms -- speech, assembly, travel.
I'm sorry -- but I don't understand this statement at all. "Also, are equal opportunities, personal expression and sexual freedom all relate to "independent freedom" (liberty, democracy, rights, etc.) ? "
Please clarify and we'll try to help you.

My focus is "independent freedom" or otherwise known as liberty. Are the following sub-topics: equal rights, personal expression and sexual freedom relevant to my focus? Like, none of those sub-topics are 'out of place'.
My points for each sub-topics:
Equal Rights (basically dealing with against discrimination)
1. Voting Rights
2. Racial Rights
3. Disability Rights
Personal Expression
1. Freedom of Thought
2. Freedom of Consciousness
3. Freedom to make choices
4. Freedom of speech
5. Freedom of assembly
6. Freedom to travel
Sexual Freedom
1. No emasculation
2. No empowerment between genders

Your first two major points seem relevant to your focus.
Your third -- "Sexual freedom" is still murky to me. What do you mean by your two subpoints?

For sexual freedom, I mean people should not use their sexuality to gain control, power, etc.
For "no emasculation", I'm saying that males or females should not use their sexual appeal to make others weak - sort of a femme fatale like the greek mythology, Sirens.
As for "no empowerment between genders", I'm basically saying matriarchy - don't let women dictate your sexual life - don't let them tell you what you can and cannot do.
Thanks for reposting this thread and clarifying the last part. :-)
I assume you intend for the "no empowerment between genders" to work both ways. Neither men nor women should have the power to tell the other gender what to do nor interfere with their freedoms.
You may want to review the definition of matriarchy:

To break down the sub-topic of personal expression into two parts, you can divide it between internal freedoms and external or behavioral freedoms. The internal freedoms can include freedom of thought, freedom of consciousness, and freedom to make choices. These are freedoms that relate to an individual's thoughts and beliefs. On the other hand, the external or behavioral freedoms can include freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, and freedom to travel. These are freedoms that relate to an individual's actions and behaviors.
For the sub-topic of sexual freedom, it seems that you are referring to the idea that people should not use their sexuality to gain control or power over others. This can be broken down into two subpoints: "no emasculation" and "no empowerment between genders." "No emasculation" means that neither males nor females should use their sexual appeal to make others weak. It refers to the idea of not manipulating or exploiting others thuality. "No empowerment between genders" means that individuals should not let someone from the opposite gender dictate their sexual life or tell them what they can or cannot do.
Regarding your question about whether equal opportunities, personal expression, and sexual freedom relate to "independent freedom," also known as liberty, the answer is yes. These sub-topics are all relevant to the concept of independent freedom. Equal opportunities relate to the freedom to pursue one's goals and aspirations without discrimination. Personal expression relates to the freedom to express oneself and have autonomy over one's thoughts and actions. Sexual freedom relates to the freedom to engage in consensual and respectful sexual relationships without being manipulated or controlled. All of these sub-topics align with the principles of liberty, democracy, and individual rights.
In formulating your thesis, you can focus on how these various sub-topics contribute to and are essential components of independent freedom or liberty. Consider highlighting how each sub-topic represents a different aspect of freedom and how they collectively contribute to a society that values and upholds individual rights and autonomy.
