Feminist women can't raise good sons; because boys and men aren't misogynists because they're oblivious, they're misogynists because they benefit from it on every level of male society. A good and empathetic mother can't reward her son what he's rewarded for joining male supremacist society.

Morality only comes into play when there's no opposing incentive with a stronger force. Oppressors of all kinds are aware of their actions and the ways their victims are hurt, but morality won't come into play when acting immoral will directly benefit them. "Teach men to be better" as an idea works only if you live in a world where morality supercedes oppressors' desire to maintain their power and benefits.

I might have turned off the scoring again. My apologies! I'll turn it back on tomorrow.

btw separatism is mutli-modal and you can still be het-partnered and practice separatism. as much as i believe the most effective kind of separatism is not partnering with men, i don't think that excludes women from other forms of separatism bc it doesn't.

I never wanted race to define me as a radical feminist. It has never stopped me from supporting all women. But after October last year, I've seen many so-called gender critics and some "radical feminists" reveal their true colours, explicitly and blatantly racist. They pretend to care about Arab women only when Arab men harm us. But when it's white men causing harm, they stay silent. How many Iraqi women and underage girls were raped by white male soldiers in the Iraq invasion? The same happened in Vietnam and is happening to Palestinian women now. These instances are conveniently ignored because it's white men committing the atrocities.

I care about all women. All women. However, when you are being racist, focusing on us in the most discriminatory ways, I won't tolerate it. Arab women deserve respect and humanity too. We've made numerous inventions and contributions throughout history and have always been relevant. We are not just relevant when some of you want to push a certain narrative, mostly stemming from racism. Unfortunately, we face misogyny both at home and in the West. But we will not be silenced or overlooked. Arab women deserve better.

More about Self-managed Abortion; Safe and Supported (SASS); Getting Abortion pills In the U.S.; Global Resources and links to help around the world

People may choose to self-manage an abortion with abortion pills because it is difficult to get to an abortion clinic or because they prefer to self induce their abortion on their own. “DIY” abortion with pills is safe and effective if the person has accurate information, support, and can ask questions. It is also important to understand the laws in each state. Abortionpillinfo.org offers a secure website with information about safe abortion with pills and a secure portal where women can get information about how to self-manage their abortion safely, minimizing legal risk, and with dignity.

International Women’s Health Coalition

This guide is a helpful resource on how to induce a medical abortion safely at home, and legally from almost any country by using a product in an off label manner that contains the same active ingredient as the abortion pill.

Question about your quiz, are you white?

Are you being defensive? Would my race change how you felt about whether you believed in the ideologies or not.

[femsinisms]

Taking a Hiatus. I'll be back.

[femsinisms]

I'm going to take the time to answer/respond to some comments given to the quiz so far. Again, thank you for all the responses and to those who have taken the time to take this quiz. Making it took a lot of work and I am glad it has given many of you some enjoyment to take.

"I have taken a break from radical feminist practices or beliefs" - i think this question is phrased weird. what does it mean to take a break from your beliefs? does it count as a break if i never thought of myself as a radical feminist in the first place? i feel this should be accounted for since this quiz is not radfem-only"

In this case answer false. Since you are not a radical feminist you have never taken a break from radical feminist beliefs.

how familiar is quiz author with the actual economics behind capitalism and marxism, and not just the immigration/imperialism focus

Where are there questions about immigration and imperialism? You may have misunderstood the questions. As for how familiar, I have an advanced degree and a background in a field necessitating mastery and understanding of this subject 😂

in the question "Men are the agents of women's oppression. All other forms of exploitation and oppression are extensions of male supremacy" it refers to ALL oppression and exploitation as in for example racism towards men or does it only refer to oppression of women? english isn’t my first language so maybe i’m just overthinking

This question is asking if all forms of exploitation and oppression including those against men, is an extension of male supremacy. You are not overthinking sister.

How were the points for these questions decided (i.e. is there some mathematical component to this or is it personal opinion only)? What literature and sources were used as a basis for this quiz?

I actually gave a more detailed answer to this in the notes of this post! The only portion of this quiz that was completely written by me is the praxis section.

It is not surprising to me that those who score much higher than they expected to are the only ones insulting me in the feedback section and in the tags. I don't have any emotional investment in that 😭. You can stop now.

You may be upset because you may be relying on what you identify as to get you into the range you desire. Now I say this If comprehending the questions was not the issue. If you do not believe in or disagree with the beliefs within that identity, that is why your score does not match up.

I cannot believe in your beliefs for you.

That being said, this quiz is meant to be light-hearted. It's not scientific and it is not all-encompassing. It culminates theory, essays, manifestos, articles, and hours upon hours of reading, organizing, codifying, and research. I created it last year as a way to showcase the different schools of thought. I'm touched and really excited to see women using the quiz as a way to expand their reading list or as a benchmark to show them things they want to look into or do more of. I'm excited to hear from those of you who want to use this quiz as a resource. I am open to question suggestions for the quiz, especially from those who feel as if the quiz wanted more when it came to their beliefs.

How Radical Is Your Feminism?

Are you curious to know what schools of thought your feminist beliefs and practices align with? This quiz may give you the answer you are seeking. It's officially been a year since this quiz was closed, and now it's back.
