They support the abolition of prostitution and pornography and the liberation of women from all patriarchal gender roles. They are also frequently critical of transsexuality and transgenderism.

Show what you know by answering true or false to the following. Answer ''false'' if neither applies or if you're not sure. Your score will be calculated on the next page.

Your first question is below.

In general, abortion should be illegal, except possibly in cases of rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother.

True False

Compared to men, women are a disadvantaged group of people in our society, and this is a problem.

True False

Women are systematically oppressed as a class under patriarchy and/or capitalism.

True False

Femininity is a social construction created by the patriarchy to oppress women and keep them weak and subservient.

True False

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.

True False

There are many sexist depictions of women in the mass media, and this is harmful to women overall.

True False

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.

True False

Sex work (including so-called "prostitution") is usually exploitative of women, but it is no more exploitative than any other form of capitalist labor.

True False

"Prostitution" should be decriminalized or completely legalized. The acts of buying sex and of managing/employing a "prostitute" should also be decriminalized.

True False

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.

True False

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.

True False

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).

True False

Male-to-female transsexuals shouldn't be in women's restrooms--at the very least not if they still have their penises.

True False

For feminism to be fair and effective, it must actively include trans women.

True False

The rampant divorce rate is undermining marriage, and there should be legal changes to make it harder to get divorced.

True False

The centrality of PIV (penis-in-vagina) intercourse in our society is an essential component of the subordination of women as the sex caste.

True False

Women will never be truly equal to men in a capitalist society.

True False

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.

True False

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.

True False

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.

True False

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.

True False

Consensual BDSM (bondage/discipline and sadism/masochism) can be completely ethical, healthy, and feminist.

True False

The widespread organization of female workers into unions or similar kinds of workers' groups is necessary for ending patriarchy.

True False

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.

True False
