"Because I feel like it."

So in other words, because she wants to? As in, "because it's her body and she can do whatever she wants with it"?

    That statements literally means [she want's to] [because she can].
    As in, the ability is driving the desire.

    But that's not how it works. We're able to do lots of things we don't want to.
    The desire might not come from anything identifiable. The existence of desire is it's self the reason. The ability isn't the reason.

    Does that make sense? It's a nuanced difference for sure. But an important one logically.
