There are 9 feminine and 5 masculine placements in my natal including NN, AC and MC. With just planets there are 6 feminine and 4 masculine.

It's okay if you don't want to discuss feminist topics, although you are indirectly already doing that by posting in this thread Feminism is my primary world view by which I think, feel and act, so I cannot separate it from anything I write here on LL

No, I totally respect your opinion, even more so, I agree but even a teacher can take a really bad, ideological text, read it with their students without corrupting them, just by right approach and good discussion, if you know what I mean

I am not very fond of psychological tests, because they can never embrace the complexities of human beings, but they are good starting point for bit of debate, thinking. About how much they're worth, well I was slow to comprehend that, then I LOLed hard

There were decimals after those numbers but I forgot them lol.

I think I am high on feminine because of my Virgo rising and cancer moon. I also only have two planets in my entire chart in "masculine" signs and they are in Aquarius, which a lot of descriptions seem to interpret as an androgynous sign... Which gets to my next point... I have my sun and Mercury in Aquarius which I think is why I scored second highest on androgynous.

But I agree with you. Feminine and masculine are just social constructs.

I'm a woman. lol. But I'm not surprised by the results really. I've looked after myself for a long time now so you get used to being independent and assertive.

Libra Asc, Aqua moon, Leo mars, venus and MC probably accounts for the masculine side of me.

Virgo sun, mercury, uranus, pluto and Scorpio neptune for the feminine.

Sounds about right, and probably as accurate as they could get with a quiz aimed at the general populace. Given my Libra (Scorpio cusp) stellium balanced against my Sag stellium with Scorpio Jupiter in between it also makes sense (though I do think upbringing had a bit to do with it as well).

That said, I'm curious what gender "jealous" and "happy" and "inefficient" are supposed to be since I think those characteristics transcend gender (though I do think females are much more likely to express or admit to them and maybe that's what the creator was thinking of, something of a trick question). I also wasn't sure of what "childlike" meant (could mean dependent, dominated by feelings that are often out of proportion, or could mean playful, adaptive, and a risk taker who focuses more on the potential rewards over risks) as well as which gender so I went neutral on that one.

---

In my opinion upbringing definitely plays the biggest role but yeah, regarding your chart, your points make total sense although I did expect a higher result in androgyny, just for the sake of your post which seem very unconventional, but that's just my perception

I also am not sure about those three traits you mentioned.. would be interesting to see the whole design of the test. So you think the test is somewhat acceptable?
I am quite certain they put childlike as "feminine" characteristic; playful, naive, more dependent, therefore trying to please, all associated with women.

Hmm. I like the trick question idea. Maybe the point was to have most people score in the middle of each gender role and have us think and talk about gender stereotypes? I agree with what other people have been saying; that the whole test doesn't really make sense or seem like it could actually measure our masculinity/femininity/androgyneity.

I'm glad that you enjoyed solving it

Not surprised by these results. I really like the point above about social constructs, because masculinity and femininity is based upon societal framing and expectations. And when you take both of them out of the societal viewpoint, what does it truly mean to be masculine or feminine? Should they even be defined (I don't personally think so)?

Hey, you were being strategic with solving the test, that's not fair! jk
but really, were you solving it according to your assumptions which dimension did they put characteristics under? (just deducing it from your last sentence, correct me if I'm wrong)

For what it's worth I think most who know me well would expect a much higher score in androgyny for me as well.

For an online test it's pretty good...I repeat, for an online test (which are typically very poor so the bar is set really low for them).

As for "my assumptions of what the creator meant." I don't recall that I did that (though of course I could've automatically assumed something from my own point of view which is different from that of the creator without having realized it), I was just confused why some are apparently seen as masculine or feminine. The only one I was lost on was "childlike" so I went with neutral as I honestly couldn't figure out what they meant on that, and in some ways I am childlike (playful, adaptable, can take risks easier than some people though I'm not impulsive about it), and in other ways I'm not at all (I channel my emotions, show responsibility, not impulsive, don't go to emotional extremes, etc), so it makes a difference...ultimately I just went with "neutral" since I didn't know what was meant.

I believe that the younger the woman, the more issues with self-confidence, assertion (all the deeming men's characteristics), also being more dependent in younger years, emotionally and financially... Do you agree?

---

Well I think that has something to do with it, yes. But actually I've always been a bit of a tomboy since I was very young, became more feminine as I grew up. But now I'm older (50) I'm sort of balanced (I think!). A boyfriend from a couple of years ago mentioned this, said I was pretty grounded and didn't let emotions take over.

My dominant planets and signs are:

Sun -- Pisces

My big 3 are all masculine (Aries Sun, Leo Moon) except for my chart ruler (Taurus Venus).

I don't know how I feel about this. I don't see myself as feminine but I don't see myself as masculine either. I don't think I'm androgynous but I do think I'm slightly--very slightly--more masculine.

I think this is so perplexing to me is that I'm limiting this only to how I dress and not including behavior, speech patterns, interest/hobbies, etc.

But even then I still say slightly masculine. At the same time however, I'm shy, introverted, quiet, (hyper)sensitive, and passive. I think this is due to my sun and Aries being on the 12th (along with my chart ruler AND saturn), and my mars being retrograde, though.

What's interesting is that in video games if I play as a female character she is the most feminine girly girl around lol. I wonder what that says about me on a subconscious level.

I guess this makes sense!

My top 3 planets --> Pluto/Sun/Uranus
My top 3 signs --> Scorpio/Aquarius/Gemini

I'm very athletic (I assume they class that as Masculine), competitive, aggressive (about my goals, rarely towards people) and have a short temper if something gets in my way!

However, i can be compassionate towards people, who show geniune emotions and i will always try to cheer someone up and remove feelings of sorrow
