You Are 100% Feminist  You are a total feminist. This doesn't mean you're a man hater (in fact, you may be a man).
You just think that men and women should be treated equally. It's a simple idea but somehow complicated for the world to put into action. Are You a Feminist? ------------------

Another 100%I get the impression that the person who made this was trying to make a point about what feminism IS and IS NOT.  IP: Logged |

68 %
Who would have thought ...
You are certainly a feminist - whether you know it or not.
You believe in gender equality, at least most of the time. You also believe there are a few exceptions IP: Logged |

LOL. Some of the questions were pretty black and white. I don't necessarily think in those terms all the time. And it depends on the situation.

Example: Women should take an equal role in dating. Women should ask out people they are interested in and take their turn in paying.I don't like asking men out, and I don't. I don't believe I 'should' do it if it doesn't feel right. That's my personal preference. I don't feel that makes me any less of a feminist, but the test seems to think otherwise. Had the question been: Women should be able to ask men out, etc., *if they want*, then I would have absolutely agreed. But if they don't want to, I don't see why they 'should' (even though I have no problem paying for my date).
It was questions like that which, I suppose, gave me a less than stellar score LOL IP: Logged |

The flip side to that is:
Men shouldn't have to always be the ones to ask women out., etc.
Also....
how many really wonderful men are shy and do not ask?
Or are turned down because their askings are not cave man macho enough?
I asked my beloved out....
unlike ex#1 and #2.
I know not all men are control freaks, who hate when a woman makes the first move....
but in my "own" experience, they usually have the quote:
me the man, you the woman, sexist, and control issues.

I agree, LEXX. It's true, I realize some guys are too shy. And I am painfully so as well, unfortunately, when it comes to that I do admire women who ask men out though. It always backfires on me when I do it 
My timing is usually off something LOL

There is no such thing as a "man's job." It is wrong for men to be given preference for any job position, even if women traditionally aren't in that field.
I voted agree instead of strongly agree. Simply because in the very physical jobs such as fireman - very few women can pass the physical tests. If they CAN pass then great they should get the job but I don't agree in making the tests easier so they can pass. That's just a matter of public safety. If you are a fireman you should be able to carry someone out of a building.
Women should take an equal role in dating. Women should ask out people they are interested in and take their turn in paying.
I voted agree instead of strongly agree. If women want to and are comfortable doing so. I don't like to hear that I SHOULD pay for something if my boyfriend wants to because he likes to. He's a little traditional in some areas and enjoys paying. IP: Logged |

And it is wrong to expect all men to do heavy labor type jobs. Guys often get ridiculed for doing what some idiots do consider "women jobs". A tiny man gets ridiculed even more. 
There are amazon women (of all sizes) who can do heavy labor, and petite or tall lanky, or dainty men who physically can not do heavy labor.
And heterosexuals too often see such as gay or lesbian. Being quite bigoted towards especially men in so called women's jobs and women in so called men's jobs.
If either a man or woman wants to have a job that is traditionally/stereotypically gender labeled...they should feel free to do so if they are suited to it physically and mentally!
It is a body thing as to what physical jobs one is physically able to do...NOT a gender thing!So I do not know what that makes me....
I am for the equal rights of both normal genders, plus anyone of other less known gender types.

When I said "strongly agree" that a woman should have same access, I didn't mean for tests or standards to be watered down or lowered just so more women could apply. For example, hard construction work or special forces is going to have very few women. But those that can qualify should have the opportunity. I don't think standards should be lowered so that more women show up, that's just insane. Especially as that means more men would also be sent to a job they're not qualified for, either. It just means equal access to opportunity (for which they have to prove themselves), not equal numbers in a job. Had the question asked, "there should be just as many women in hard construction work as men," I'd have answered very differently. But I instead took it to mean that the rare woman who can handle that type of labor well (perhaps even better than many men) shouldn't be denied the opportunity simply based on an accident of gender. For that matter, I think that few men have the temperament for working well with little children, or with fashions. But some do (some even better than most women), and I don't think it's fair to see them barred just because of an accident of gender. IP: Logged |

There were some statements I strongly agreed/disagreed with and others I mildly agreed with. The ones I mildly agreed/disgreed with were more gray to me than black and white. Sorry again if you weren't directly refering to me but somehow I felt I had to justify my own score. IP: Logged |

You Are 96% Feminist You are a total feminist. This doesn't mean you're a man hater (in fact, you may be a man).
You just think that men and women should be treated equally. It's a simple idea but somehow complicated for the world to put into action. Are You a Feminist? There was a time when I thought I would have been 100% but as I get older I changed a little. And I was raised in family that was 1000% Feminist. Maybe that's why. It was too militant and didn't match the way I currently experience the world. I guess it all depends on what feminism means to you. I actually clicked on "Agree" a few times instead of clicking on "Strongly Agree" that's why I'm not at 100%

I expect because some people understand the question differently than you. For more details, you could point out a question or two that you don't think anyone reasonable can fully agree with--but say WHY, not matter how "obvious" it seems to you. I expect those that fully agreed with it will have understood the question very differently than you did, and so answered differently. (A common problem with these quizzes actually.) IP: Logged |

You Are 74% Feminist
You are certainly a feminist - whether you know it or not.
You believe in gender equality, at least most of the time. You also believe there are a few exceptions.I believe in guys paying for dates, and I believe that for jobs requiring physical strength, the tests shouldn't be watered down for women (though if a women is strong enough to do the job well, great). I also put 'agree' instead of strongly agree for a women not being financially dependent upon a man, as some women choose to work inside the home, and they shouldn't be required to be independent financially if that is not their choice.

LOL i think it is funny that someone who believes in gender equality for all is defined as a feminist. which is not a gender-equal word!! however i do feel that what some people call feminism was always meant to achieve equality for ALL, not just women. and ALWAYS wondered why it was relegated to us women to lobby for that?and i miss lexx!!
