A SelectSmart.com Politics Selector by Becca, created August 2012. "Feminism" refers to a variety of left-of-center political movements that seek to improve the position of women in society. This quiz will gauge whether a person supports or opposes the ideas and goals of modern feminists. It will also try to identify whether the quiz taker feels more at home among "liberal feminists," "socialist feminists," or "radical feminists"--the three most common subgroups of feminists worldwide during the past half century. This quiz is entirely fallible and merely represents my somewhat informed opinion as a committed socialist feminist. Finally, I'd like to suggest readers look into some important topics relevant to feminism that I didn't adequately address in this quiz: womanism, postcolonial feminism, lesbianism, trans masculinity, genderqueer issues, asexuality, disability issues, fatphobia, children's rights, and animal rights.

1. In general, abortion should be illegal, except possibly in cases of rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother.
Prioritize your choice above:
High
Medium
Low

2. Compared to men, women are a disadvantaged group of people in our society, and this is a problem.
Prioritize your choice above:
High
Medium
Low

3. Women are systematically oppressed as a class under patriarchy and/or capitalism.
Prioritize your choice above:
High
Medium
Low

4. Femininity is a social construction created by the patriarchy to oppress women and keep them weak and subservient.
Prioritize your choice above:
High
Medium
Low

5. Women as a group may earn less money than men, but this is a result of free market mechanisms and is not something the government should attempt to remedy.
Prioritize your choice above:
High
Medium
Low

6. There are many sexist depictions of women in the mass media, and this is harmful to women overall.
Prioritize your choice above:
High
Medium
Low

7. Pornography is especially sexist and harmful to women, and any woman--whether she is directly involved in pornography or not--should be able to sue a pornographer for violating her civil rights.
Prioritize your choice above:
High
Medium
Low

8. Sex work (including so-called "prostitution") is usually exploitative of women, but it is no more exploitative than any other form of capitalist labor.
Prioritize your choice above:
High
Medium
Low

9. "Prostitution" should be decriminalized or completely legalized. The acts of buying sex and of managing/employing a "prostitute" should also be decriminalized.
Prioritize your choice above:
High
Medium
Low

10. In order to achieve equality for women, it's necessary to be pragmatic, be willing to compromise, and work to get more pro-women politicians elected in the national government.
Prioritize your choice above:
High
Medium
Low

11. Women's groups should work in coalitions with other leftist groups dedicated to transgender rights, racial justice, and economic equality in order to abolish capitalism and other systems of domination.
Prioritize your choice above:
High
Medium
Low

12. Transgender people are unlikely to be effective allies for women because transgenderism reinforces oppressive gender roles (for example, male drag queens emulate and therefore reinforce stereotypical femininity).
Prioritize your choice above:
High
Medium
Low

13. Male-to-female transsexuals shouldn't be in women's restrooms--at the very least not if they still have their penises.
Prioritize your choice above:
High
Medium
Low

14. For feminism to be fair and effective, it must actively include trans women.
Prioritize your choice above:
High
Medium
Low

15. The rampant divorce rate is undermining marriage, and there should be legal changes to make it harder to get divorced.
Prioritize your choice above:
High
Medium
Low

16. The centrality of PIV (penis-in-vagina) intercourse in our society is an essential component of the subordination of women as the sex caste.
Prioritize your choice above:
High
Medium
Low

17. Women will never be truly equal to men in a capitalist society.
Prioritize your choice above:
High
Medium
Low

18. Things like speech codes on college campuses that regulate "sexist" language or civil lawsuits over so-called "sexual harassment" in the workplace are unjust violations of free speech.
Prioritize your choice above:
High
Medium
Low

19. When men see an attractive woman on the street and catcall at her or yell out sexual things, it's just an extreme and probably inept attempt to flirt. It's not a serious problem, and it certainly doesn't qualify as harassment.
Prioritize your choice above:
High
Medium
Low

20. Rape is a huge problem in our society, and women are especially likely to be victimized. To really reduce the high incidence of rape, feminists need to consistently challenge "rape culture"--rape jokes, victim-blaming attitudes, and media's alternating glamorization and trivialization of sexual violence.
Prioritize your choice above:
High
Medium
Low

21. Public schools should provide girls with comprehensive education about their own bodies--including scientifically accurate information about menstruation, pregnancy, birth control, STIs, breast cancer, cancers of the reproductive system, and the diversity of sexual orientations.
Prioritize your choice above:
High
Medium
Low

22. Consensual BDSM (bondage/discipline and sadism/masochism) can be completely ethical, healthy, and feminist.
Prioritize your choice above:
High
Medium
Low

23. The widespread organization of female workers into unions or similar kinds of workers' groups is necessary for ending patriarchy.
Prioritize your choice above:
High
Medium
Low

24. The liberation of women will involve the complete abolition of the social construct of "gender" and the unlocking of the androgynous, bisexual potential within all human beings.
