Feminist meme

[sqbr]

Going against my anti-meme policy because the result is amusing. I must admit my contrary streak made me deliberately choose some "wrong" answers on questions I thought were annoyingly worded, on the whole it has the problem you are bound to get with this sort of test, the assumption that there's an objective, linear measure of "feministness", and that there's a single correct "most feminist" response to any given issue.

Your Score: The Basic Feminist

You are 78% on your way to being a Feminist!

You're a Feminist! Congratulations!


You have a good idea of what sexism is, how to avoid it, and how to stand up for women and/or yourself. You might have read some basic Feminist literature or thought in passing, and thought that it was pretty good. Sometimes you baulk a little at overtly identifying yourself as a Feminist due to the negative stigma. Don't be ashamed of being right! Just keep on doing what you're doing and exploring more ways to treat everyone with respect because of their humanity, not their parts, and you're helping to fix the problem!

The fact that 'Egalitarian' is presented as an ignorant and undesirable option ("The bad news is that you probably do some sexist things yourself like calling women whores or expecting people to adhere to fairly narrow gender roles.") shits me right off, and I haven't even done the test. The author clearly has some strange ideas about the definitions of the terms they use.

Apparently that's me. And also apparently I have "strange ideas about gender" issues and "haven't taken the time to think about sexism".

The thing about this test that irritated me was that some of the questions only had stupid options and I was forced to pick the least stupid option.

Yeah, that was pretty dumb.
