Pretty Lame Test On Feminism

Not really sure how I got 29% Traditional.



The question I found the most intriguing was about sexbots devaluing women's worth.  I don't see how that's a given, but then I'm assuming there'd be sexbots for women too.

I think that if the answers to some of the questions do not conform with one of the named varieties of feminism (as determined by the person who wrote the quiz), they get lumped into a 'traditionalism' score.

Ah, it's making my head hurt! 

I didn't finish either. There is too much nuance for this to be worth anything. I find these quizzes don't take social variables in to account, and if you aren't deeply familiar with certain aspects of the subject many are misleading.

Sex robots, for instance, would not inherently devalue women if all things were equal EXCEPT we already live in a society in which a woman's value is based on her ability to provide sex. And, women are viewed as "frigid" by nature, not aroused by anything really, least of all visual stimuli. So if sex robots suddenly just appear on the market tomorrow, they are going to be marketed almost exclusively to men (citation: the entire porn industry). Ultimately, long term, I'm unsure if sex robots would help or hinder - If all the troglodytes on say, Reddit Incel (look it up if you want to literally vomit from rage) remove themselves from the gene pool via sex robot and allow the rest of us to get on with things, that might be progress. If the majority of men in society find their needs fulfilled by sex robots and become increasingly annoyed by the prospect of having to deal with women generally existing around them... Not so much.

Or question 9 - "White men peddle hatred against Muslims as a way to distract women from the fact that they are oppressed" really doesn't make any sense unless you are looking at the sort of blogs and postings that bring out literally thousands of men doing this on a routine basis. For every woman that posts something like "Some fucking dirtbag groped me on the bus today and called me a fat slut when I called him out" there will be hundreds of responses along the line of "Stop whining you lucky bitch, if you were in the Middle East you would have been stoned to death just for wearing what you were."
