What kind of feminist are you?

my attempted TL;DR of the different types:

traditionalism = some inequality is desirable

liberal = legal equity

radical = equality of outcome and/or the pursuit of means outside legal equity to ensure equality of opportunity

marxist = capitalism is an obstacle to equality

cultural = women have certain biological advantages over men and must be empowered to use these advantages for the betterment of society

am I missing anything?

I like the pattern I see. So far, most of the posts in this thread have yielded Liberal Feminism (aka the only healthy aspect of Feminism in this entire quiz IMO) in First Place, followed by Traditionalism in second place. While I disagree that agreeing any aspect of going against free-market values in media/workplace automatically equals points to Marxist Feminism, I suppose the quiz couldn't have found a better way to organize those points.

Liberal Feminism is the only Sane Ideology in this entire quiz period. [perhaps marxist feminism too but even than it seems like bullshit since it wants to promote shit like self made men being ousted because they're men]

That said it's a fun quiz, try to guess where I scored on the quiz

I know that being against pornography and prostitution counts as a radical feminist position. I wonder if it counts as a traditionalist position as well, and if there are any other agreements like that.

Also tests like that tend to lack depth. For example, agreeing with the existence of patriarchy (which totally does exist) doesn't mean that I think that it's a bad thing.

So you believe that patriarchy exists in modern day[which it doesn't except in like really shitty third world african & middle eastern countries], but you also support it?….what is wrong with you?

I can't really say for every country, but the idea that "males should hold primary power" does exist even in many Western countries. Not legally, obviously, but (like many feminists claim) socially (father/husband as a head of a family, etc). For example, in my country (which is, however, predominantly conservative, and it's debatable to which degree you could claim it's "Western") women and girls complain all the time that men are starting to "behave like women", i.e. men are perceived to be less willing to be dominating in relationships. An average local girl (often blissfully unaware of the modern enlightened Western society) wouldn't like to date a stereotypical "equal rights advocate" guy. This is what I personally perceive as the modern "patriarchy". Not a legal, but a social phenomenon, which feminists would claim men force on women, so called internalized misogyny, and that's why they want a more gender neutral upbringing, and different portrayals in the media/culture.

I actually think many of the feminist observations are valid, it's just that I believe their conclusions are wrong.

> what is wrong with you

I grew up in a wholesome family, I suppose. I had both a great father and a great mother figure. In fact, I don't think I could ever be as much of a role model for my potential future kids as my father is for me, I am just too lucky. Plus our society in general, like I mentioned in the precious paragraph. I believe that differences between men and women are too significant for us to act like substitutes in society, rather, we should complement each other. I think both men and women have unique responsibilities and unique privileges. This is why I find both feminists and the "male rights activists" ideologically equally cancerous.
