Pretty Lame Test On Feminism

I think several of the questions in this test are very poorly written, and it fits right in amongst the general category "junk quiz." May be fun (or provocative) to discuss, though. According to the results, I'm most strongly a "Liberal Feminist," secondarily a "Marxist Feminist," while the other three categories ("Traditionalist," "Radical Feminist," and "Cultural Feminist") are about equal; markedly lower than first two mentioned. May post an image of my results later.

Huh.

I wouldn't think that about me.

Anything with a negative association is next to the word "feminism" and then nestled snugly in it's happy place is "traditionalist". Very suspicious.

I don't see how "liberal"or "cultural" are negative terms. I can see how "Marxist" can be, and how "radical" is.

If you're alt-right they are. I assume from Recusant's OP that the alt-right is the intended audience.

I don't have much interest in seeing things from their perspective when I don't have to.

I think the only thing that came true about that was become lesbians...

Hmm, I don't think that it is. The quiz's description of 'traditionalism' is not particularly sympathetic.

QuoteTraditionalism 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.

Evola was a fascist, and Guenon, while definitely not a fascist, was opposed to democracy and the Enlightenment.

I got 72% "Liberal Feminist", which according to their definition I wouldn't call feminism. What they label as liberal feminism would be more aptly labeled "meritocratic liberalism", or something to that effect.
The radicals and marxist types have also given me a lot of negative assosiations to the term feminist, to the point that I refuse to be labeled as one.
