Forums - Politics Discussion - Buzzfeed Quiz Alert: How Much Of A Feminist Are You?

Not going to do another one of these tests...



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Some questions are just badly formed, and others are dumb. Because knowing who Bell Hooks makes me a better feminist...



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

Some of those question were really weird and I ended up not checking a number of them just out of not agreeing with "always" or how some of those questions were situational, like house duties (people may choose to take up more of the household labor)

18 out of 50 but even with zero points it says you know your fair share....

I got 19, and it said it was good.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

You do know that the wage gap still exists do you?

The wage gap has been debunked over decades by economists. Even Dr. Christina Hoff Sommers, one of the few credible feminists says it's completely misleading. If someone is paid less for the same work, that's a violation under the Equal Pay Act of 1963. If one feels they are suffering under this supposed "wage gap" why not call the department of labor? Plus, if it were really true that women were paid less than men for the exact same work, wouldn't employers fire almost all of the men and hire women to enjoy most of the profit? One of my first jobs was working in AT&T but it wasn't the corporate store. All employees were paid off the books except the other three employees got around the same while my Boss only paid me $200 a week for 45 hours (I was hired months after them). Was it discrimination? No. He was doing shady business practices to get more profit for himself. He needed another worker to fill in but at the same time, he wanted to exploit the fact that I was fresh and new in the working field.

The wage gap isn't just about the same wage for the same job (which is a nearly non-existant problem anymore). The wage gap is still pretty large for genders across whole sectors, where the problem is far from debunked or solved.

That's a very ambiguous statement that doesn't exactly pin point a problem but rather generalizes what the wage gap already does. Is there any citation to prove this?

Here's my citations to back up the claims I've made. Many don't seem to understand what the wage gap takes into account. All it does is take the average earnings of all men and women and compare without taking in any variables. That's it. It doesn't take into account if the employees worked full time or part time, how many hours were worked per week, the longevity someone has been in the work place, education, maternity leave, among multiple other variables.

You checked off 31 out of 50 on this list!
You’re super in-tune with what’s going on in the world–especially when it comes to feminist issues. Keep doing you and stay woke.


I consider myself an anti (third-wave) feminist, by the way.

Weird quiz. I am all for equality, so I guess in that sense I would consider myself a feminist...but I have to admit I don't pay much attention to feminism.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.
