I took the “feminist perspective scale” quiz<\/a>, just for fun. Here are my results:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Perspective<\/strong><\/td>\nScore<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Liberal feminist<\/a><\/td>\n47<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Women of Color<\/a><\/td>\n41<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Cultural feminist<\/a><\/td>\n32<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Socialist feminist<\/a><\/td>\n30<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Radical feminist<\/a><\/td>\n28<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Conservative<\/td>\n13<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

“The Feminist Perspectives Scale differentiates between a generic brand of non-feminism (conservative perspetive) and six types of feminism. Your calculated score are at the right<\/del> above, although you should only take these scores as a guide. Only you can truly decide what idealogy you follow.”<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The FPS was written in 1998, and in some ways it feels dated to me – for instance, in the complete lack of any questions about trans* issues. Also, the anti-gay questions struck me as sort of crude – only the most right-wing of right-wing conservatives is willing to be THAT nakedly anti-gay anymore.<\/p>\n

I’m not surprised that I scored very low on radical feminism, or high on liberal feminism and womanism. And it makes sense that I scored kind of low on socialist feminism – although I strongly favor a Swedish Socialist approach to economics, I don’t tend to see Capitalism as the root cause of sexism.<\/p>\n

I was <\/em>surprised to score so high on cultural feminism, since I tend to think of myself as kind of anti-cultural-feminism. <\/p>\n

So what did you get?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
