#1 Antifeminism

I think they just randomized the rest. I don't even know why I took the test, I already knew my results.

#1 Libertarian / Individualist feminism

#2 Radical feminism: Radical feminist analysis identifies patriarchal sexual politics as a fundamental organizing principle pervasive in all aspects of modern and historical societies. Radical feminist activism works to organize a mass movement uniting women to abolish sex-class on political, economic, and cultural levels.

#3 Antifeminism - actively opposing feminism; views male supremacy as natural and/or necessary.

#4 Womanism-- "Black feminism is sometimes referred to as womanism because both are concerned with struggles against sexism and racism by black women who are themselves part of the black community's efforts to achieve equity and liberty" -Barbara Omolade

#5 Liberal feminism

#6 Socialist Feminism

#7 Anarcha-feminism: Anarcha-feminism recognizes the patriarchal domination of women as a key part of a society thoroughly founded on hierarchy and coercion, and seeks to organize women with other oppressed groups - in particular, workers and people of color - as part of a systematic fight against all forms of hierarchy, domination, and government. For more information, see InfoShop Anarcha-feminism Kiosk

#8 Eco-feminism-- Theory that rests on the basic principal that patriarchial philosophies are harmful to women, children, and other living things.

#9 Amazon feminism-- Dedicated to the image of the female hero in Greek mythology and in fact, as it is expressed in art and literature, in the physiques and feats of female athletes, and in sexual values and practices.

This test was lame. Radical feminism and antifeminism do not belong that high on my list.
It's not the fault of the designer. This test engine is just a lousy one.

This test (and engine) is better:

You scored 83% Gender-Abolitionist, 20% Sexually Liberal, and 0 % Socialist

You are the Gender Abolitionist type of feminist. This means that you feel the best way to destroy patriarchal oppression is to rid ourselves of misguided gender roles, and instead live in a society that does not make such marked assumptions about gender differences. The Gender Abolitionist is culturally radical, but rather conservative when it comes to sexual liberation and politics. You have a strong sense of human rights for all. In fact, you are actually a very moral person. You don't see people in terms of gender and are thus very philosophical in order to perceive the world in such a manner. You think people shouldn't identify others in terms of gender. When most people see a person, the first thing they think is "That person is a woman" or "That person is a man", but they do NOT think "That person is a short-fingernail". Most make someone's gender their IDENTITY, but fingernail length would never be considered part of their identity. A gender abolitionist would claim gender should be like fingernail length--it shouldn't be part of someone's identity. By making gender a part of identity, difference is emphasized and oppression is often justified. Thus, gender shouldn't be regarded to such a large extent by society. You are mostly concerned with seeing women become fully equalized with men by eliminating gender roles, as these roles oppress women.

Your Score: Housewife
You scored 16% Gender-Abolitionist, 20% Sexually Liberal, and 0 % Socialist

You are the housewife feminist. You aren't very philosophical or political, but rather personal and practical. Housewife feminists feel there is no need to drastically restructure society or government in order to help women. You tend to feel that individuals can make their own lives better, and restructuring society is either pointless or too extreme to achieve these goals. You are also a very moral type of person, and tend to see the plight of women through a moral lens, not wanting to oppress others in woman's attempt to relieve their oppression. You also tend to see men and women as being very different from each other, and certainly not as equals. Some housewife feminists will even see women as superior to men because they have better qualities, such as more compassion. Normally, you would probably be classified as the "Cultural" feminist, because you emphasize the differences between men and women, tend to lack political motivation, and are not concerned with sexual liberation. I have called this position the housewife feminist, however, because someone in this category could easily be confused with a '50s housewife--simple, non-political, accepting gender roles, holding traditional moral values, and having little sexual liberation. However, it is important to note that this does not mean the housewife feminist isn't concerned with the women's movement. Rather, they are concerned for women as individuals and see the radical philosophies of other feminists as impractical or misguided. You resemble a '50s housewife on the surface, but beneath the exterior beats the heart of a true feminist.

Did I do something wrong?

No. I think they just assume you are a woman if you take the test.
Not very progressive of them if you ask me.
