Since Feminism is the issue du jour lately on here, I thought you guys and gals would enjoy this short quiz...

“Hell, yeah” feminists

This group has the most passionate views toward the feminist movement. 98% overall identify as a feminist, and 43% say they are a strong one. “Hell, yeah” feminists are the most politically active group and see a very active role for the government to play. They place a higher priority on getting women elected to office; 95% have voted for a candidate because of their stand on women's issues. Two-thirds say discrimination is the bigger thing keeping women back, the most of any group. 50% say there is a lot of discrimination against women today. 17% of all women are “Hell, yeah” feminists.

I got "No, but" feminist.

Fuck labels, apparently.

I'm happy to be considered a humanist, so if that equals feminist, I'm fine with that.

 

[Dyslexxie]

“Yes, but” feminists

95% identify as feminist and 31% say they are strong, but this group takes more critical views of feminism than others. 48% say feminism is not focused on the changes they want. 50% say it does not accurately reflect the view of most women. 63% say it is outdated and angry. 70% say it looks down on women without jobs. 74% say it unfairly blames men for women's challenges. 16% of all women are “Yes, but” feminists.

Sorry, they're using the wrong definition of feminism for me to feel represented by that quiz. None of the six categories spoke to me.

“Okay, sure” feminists

94% identify as feminist, but only 20% are strong ones. 87% have favorable views of feminism, and 51% say it has a good reputation. Like the “Hell, yeah” group, they are likely to say the feminist movement is focused on the changes they want, however, they are far less apt to have engaged in voting, contacting elected officials or posting online regarding women's issues. 22% of all women are “Okay, sure” feminists.

"Okay, sure" feminist.

Okay, sure.

The word "feminism" is so convoluted now days you need an online test to find out which kind you are.

“Certainly not” feminists

85% are not feminists, with 12% anti-feminist, the highest of any group. They are basically opposed to anything and everything that feminists support. This group is overwhelmingly Republican and conservative. 21% say that women should not be social, political and economic equals with men. 85% say the choices women make are the bigger factor holding them back, rather than discrimination. 11% of all women are “Certainly not” feminists.

 

[Kullervo]

"85% are not feminists", so therefore 15% are. 52% of the population is female. A rough, if generous assumption would be that 2/3 of the people who support feminism are women (twice as likely as men). If we take this benchmark then 10% of the population are women who support feminism.

10/52 = 19% (approx.)

So being generous, I predict that only 19% of women in the U.S. are feminists. That is less than 1 in 5. This forum clearly isn't very representative of the nation as a whole

Ouch.

What's your beef with 19% of the female population and why would the views of a minority group in the U.S. affect you way out yonder in Oceania? Just curious.

“Hell, yeah” feminists

I'm not US American but took the quiz as though I were, which isn't too difficult to imagine, being Canadian. I am also "Hell, yeah, humanist" for what that is worth.

This is a misreading, this is an analysis of the "Certainly Not" Feminist group.

Exactly.

 

[Kullervo]

What's your beef with 19% of the female population

Nothing. My beef is with the people who believe they're speaking for a majority of women when they're not.

and why would the views of a minority group in the U.S. affect you way out yonder in Oceania? Just curious.

Because I live in a country with the same dominant culture and ethnic group as the U.S., we can accurately infer the same phenomena occur in both countries within reason. Again I just don't feel you see the world the same way as I do...see my signature.

Yes, but Feminist

95% identify as feminist and 31% say they are strong, but this group takes more critical views of feminism than others. 48% say feminism is not focused on the changes they want. 50% say it does not accurately reflect the view of most women. 63% say it is outdated and angry. 70% say it looks down on women without jobs. 74% say it unfairly blames men for women's challenges. 16% of all women are “Yes, but” feminists.

 

[anticlimatic]

Hilarious. You've got to hand it to feminism. Trying to expand its numbers by simply expanding its definition was pretty creative- and since kids these days are bandwagon morons it actually worked.
