    Default Feminism Test

    This free feminism test will allow you to obtain your scores on five of the major positions in the gender equality debate found in Western democracies. Though both feminists and anti-feminists like to claim that the definition of feminism is straightforward, there is in fact considerable variety in how feminism is defined and serious disagreements, not just between feminists and anti-feminists, but also among the various positions within feminism itself.
    This test may spark some heated debate(s)...
    Please try to keep it civil, everyone. ^^'

    I do not consider myself to be a feminist, so I was interested to see what my result would be...

    And I can actually see how "Liberal feminism" (how it is described in this test) applies to me. It reminds me of the kind of feminism before the Third Wave. I don't think it is the kind of feminism one would think of when someone says the word "feminism". Nowadays, feminism is usually just being equated with Radical feminism; and I find that is in fact the kind of feminism we see the most of online and on demonstrations etc.

     
    Liberal Feminism refers to feminist philosophy rooted in enlightenment principles. Its classical works were penned by thinkers such as Mary Wollstonecraft and John Stuart Mill. This type of feminism holds that men and women are each other’s equals and as such deserve equal rights. It is this type of feminism that people allude to when they say “feminism just means equal rights.” As opposed to other forms of feminism, Liberal Feminism is individualistic (rather than group-based): Men and women deserve equal rights because both are individuals. Rights are granted to individuals, not genders or groups. Liberal Feminism believes in equality of rights, not in equality of outcomes. For example, if a profession is dominated by only one gender, that does not necessarily mean that something is wrong: It could be the result of individuals making different decisions in life.


     
    Radical Feminism holds that men oppress women through internalized forms of dominance (i.e. patriarchy). Women must come together and end this oppression by rejecting traditional gender roles. Putting women in dresses, making them wear make-up and so on makes them sexual objects that perpetuate male dominance. Women must refuse to comply with the beauty standards that the patriarchy expects. Radical Feminists see a link between men’s objectification of women and sexual violence and abuse. Prostitution, pornography, and advertisements that sexualize women are therefore not decisions that can be left to individual choice. They must be resisted by women everywhere as forms of male oppression. As opposed to Liberal Feminism, which takes the individual as its focus, Radical Feminism holds that since men have oppressed women for so long, it may be necessary to discriminate against men in the process of revolutionizing society (for example by prioritizing women for high-end jobs or shutting men out of positions of power for a time).

    No... The third wave is liberal feminism and is most of the feminism you see online. Radical feminism is associated with the second wave and is criticized for excluding sex workers and transwomen, and for "judging girls who wear makeup" etc.

    Calling yourself a feminist just invites other people to project their idea of what a feminist is on you, which usually involves the internet produced image of a browbeaten man getting screamed at by a woman with a brightly colored buzzcut for sitting with his legs too wide or something.

    This is what happens when you are raised by an ESTj mother who wanted to be an engineer, but was redirected into teaching grade school.

    FWIW,



    I didn't like a lot of the questions which were too far skewed in one direction or another. But it makes sense my highest score was cultural feminism. Yes, "improve tolerance and diversity by celebrating women's special qualities and unique experiences". This is expressed especially in motherhood, which is THE key to improvement of society, IMO, so motherhood should be respected, celebrated and protected.

     

    Cultural Feminism holds that women and men are essentially different and that women are generally more nurturing, more empathic, and less violent than men. Cultural Feminists seek to celebrate these qualities, which they believe have been oppressed by men.

    Cultural Feminists believe that both men and women are hurt by contemporary male-dominated society, which they see as encouraging male behavior such as competition and conflict. According to Cultural Feminism, if women were given more power there would be less violence, fewer wars, and more understanding in the world.

    The goal of Cultural Feminism is not to bring about some pre-scripted political revolution, but to improve tolerance and diversity by celebrating women's special qualities and unique experiences. Like Marxist Feminism, Cultural Feminism has in recent years expanded its focus from championing not just the perspectives of women, but also those of sexual and racial minorities as well.


    And I do strongly disagree with throwing out the baby with the bathwater as far as traditionalism so I land at 50% in that category...

     

    Traditionalism refers to illiberal strands of philosophy which seek to preserve what they see as the “natural” and “traditional” order of things. In the past, this standpoint was chiefly represented by early 20th century thinkers such as Julius Evola and Rene Guenon. After a hiatus following World War II, Traditionalism has resurfaced as a new type of “conservatism to the right of mainstream conservatism.” It is chiefly popular among younger voters who are skeptical of the liberal enlightenment principles that mainstream conservatives accept, uniting instead behind national pride, a critical stance towards feminism and Islam, and resistance to globalism.

    All women should be mothers and homemakers. Including the ones that become war heroes. Just not at the same time. Unless they really want to.

    And women shouldn't be allowed to vote. Except for my mom. Women can't vote until they're 38 and men lose their right to vote when they turn 73!

    Women and men are naturally different. And that's why secret disguises work as comedy.
    Feminism is a joke, and so is this post. But it really is the way I think of the subject.

    I read, "All men are created equal. That's why women are in charge." But the odd thing is that women are more equal with each other then men are with each other; a girl is more likely to be a stable investment, and a boy is more likely to be incredibly successful or incredibly unsuccessful. Same with the way genders tend to invest: men are more inclined to take risks.

    Is there a reason traditionalism's flag is the Reich's? I'm a little bit surprised I scored highly in there rather than more in even more in liberal. Maybe that's the default category and/or I was too neutral with a lot of it because I had no opinion or knowledge. Some of them just seemed like fact-based questions you would have just had to have specialized knowledge to know. Also, what does gender identity have to do with it? And why does anyone care? We should just label people by race and identification. Like Jew #1, Jew #2, etc. Oh wait...too much focus on group identification is wrong, that's why.

    Ouch. I don't know the circumstances behind that but that's pretty harsh. Especially if you had the capacity to do that whereas she didn't. I also gotta ask how she got "redirected" as it were but I will not push. If you prefer to not elaborate I will leave it as is. Curiosity didn't kill the cat, but excessive curiosity did...

    I agree with your viewpoint that motherhood is paramount but most "feminist" ideology rejects the importance of the father. This is why most of em' denigrate "stay at home moms" as it were. It's also why they pushed so hard for women's suffrage. Back in the day it was implicitly understood that women didn't really need to "vote" given their influence over their husband. Voting was a "family" affair, the "man" of the house cast the vote and only he could yes, but he only cast it one way or another after he discussed all the relevant issues with his family (wife and kids included). Traditional cultural forces ensured that his vote truly represented the will of the whole family.

    He could, of course, "veto" their wishes, but he'd only be expected to do that if his duty to society required him to do so. I mean, if his wife and kids started ordering him to vote for the Christ-Hating Communists I'd hope he'd kindly disregard their wishes and vote for the heretic's God-Fearing Catholic opponent despite the wishes of his hopelessly deluded family. But that's just me, I await your critique of this viewpoint...

    Also, because I must, here's my results:

    I don't really care about feminism. It's useless and waste of time to argue with this dumb shit

    All it does is bring conflict. That's all. It's fucking useless. It's just a concept. Just a mere fucking concept that doesn't make a good impact on the world nor will even benefit me.

    It's just a fucking mere opinion imposed by strong willed individuals who impose their own beliefs on others, and will get angry if others doesn't agree with them.

    This is fucking immature and stupid.

    What has feminism has became.

    I just really thought it's just respecting women and giving them equal rights as men. That's all. But it has became over the top, and it became too much of a big deal that everyone just argue with this stupid shit that doesn't do anything good at all.

    I mostly just believe in human rights and letting everything takes its course from there. I'm sure the Marxist Feminism being the next highest one is because I do think women are discriminated against and oppressed in a lot of cases, but it's because of British colonialism (not "capitalism" per se) and not The Patriarchy or White Cis Heterosexual Patriarcy (especially White Cis Heterosexual Patriarcy) or whatever. This isn't the Complain about British Imperialism thread though, but blaming sexism (and racism etc.) on "patriarchy" is like blaming disease on miasma to me. Disease is real, but it isn't caused by miasma, and blaming it on miasma just helps you avoid it mostly.
