The mysteries of feminism revealed!

Quote :

what type of feminist are you?

This'll be good...

Quote :

1 . A good looking, witty, handsome, single man offers to buy you a very expensive dinner. Do you …

Giggle, accept and afterwards kiss him on the cheek and say goodbye. After twenty more such evenings he should present you with a diamond ring.

Offer to pay half, and when he refuses throw your coffee over him and yell ‘There’s no need for misogyny you bastard’ before storming out.

Accept and take a spare pair of knickers and a toothbrush with you in case you decide to go back to his.

Oooohhh boy....

Quote :

4 . Your partner offers to take the male contraceptive pill as part of a trial study so you can give your body a break from the extra hormones. Do you …

Say ‘Actually honey, women’s bodies are designed this way in order to bear children. We should be stopping contraception altogether and making a family – that’s all I want in life.’

Say ‘Why make the empty gesture, every time I sleep with you the act of penetration feels like a crime against women anyway?’

Say yes, but because you don’t trust him to remember you secretly get fitted with a coil as well.

Yeah... Every question has a 'fluffy' response, a Doc-Martined responce and an equally steryotypical 'correct' responce... Oh, and men are stupid, that at least is constant... It's not as though men can be feminists... That'll just be silly

Yeah... A lot of people seem to think that it's men that feminists are angry at and have to battle against... Not always the case...

Yes! I saw this earlier (GET OUT OF MY HEAD WD40!). Let's not forget the image at the top, a massive burning bra. Also, note the title: "ARE YOU A FEMINIST?" Not even "what sort of feminist?" Are you a feminist?

Also, if you fill in all the "man-hater" answers, you get this:

Feminist and Proud
You are a feminist and proud of it. Not only that but you’ve read all the literature and probably set up a women’s group of your very own to discuss the failings of men and society generally. But feminism has changed this millennium – noughtie girls know there’s more than one way to be a feminist, and that wearing pink doesn’t necessarily rule you out.

...um, perhaps. But I'm fairly sure sighing and bringing a spare pair of knickers out when you go out for dinner with a bloke isn't any way of being a feminist.

I had a look round at reviews of the book this terrible quiz is promoting. It hasn't sat well with feminist bloggers. The Mail like it and a republishing the quiz.

That pretty much agrees with my first impression.

This is supposed to be a professional site?  Judging from the "choices," I thought it was one of those sites with eleventy million "Which anime character are you (pictures in the answers!!)"

WTF is wrong with the UK? Their ideas on feminism are so, SO off!

Please, do not judge the UK by "Company".
I have (and do) read crappy magazines, but even I side-step this one.

One of [Ellie Levenson's] most outrageous statements is that there are different levels of rape, with violent attacks by strangers being far worse than date rape,

Yeah, that's all I need to know about her book.

Quote :

and that “changing [your] mind after penetration is not rape”.

If you change your mind and your partner doesn't stop, then it's rape.

Besides it sounding like naughty, I don't get it.

I tried taking this test, but it's even dumber than the aforementioned animu tests.

Nought is another word for the numeral 0.

Is there a good word for that period of time? "Zeroes" obviously has it's problems, but "naught" and "aught" (had to look up the spelling on that last) have their problems too.

Let's just never make reference to this time again.
