The Men, Women, and Equality Test

1. 

2. Let's start with how aware you are of the history and political issues affecting the whole equal rights agenda. Then we'll move on to how you think it has impacted our world.
3. Women earned the right to vote in 1920. What are your thoughts on that?
4. 1

   The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA)...

   Is necessary before women can be considered equal.

   Is not needed. Women already have equal rights.

   Would be useful to ensure existing rights can't be taken away.

5. 2

   What else is true about the E.R.A.?

   It would cost a great deal to enact it.

   Would cost very little and have minimal noticeable effects.

   Cost is irrelevant. This is just a stepping stone to what women deserve.

6. 3

   What is your opinion of Gloria Steinem's statement, "A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle?"

   Makes no more sense than most women's statements.

   It's completely true.

   It makes a point that's valid for some women, maybe.

7. 4

   That National Organization for Women (NOW)

   Is made up of a bunch of man haters.

   Undermines their credibility by taking on issues that as being important to women even if they affect both sexes equally.

   Does great work fostering equality.

8. 5

   Is there equality in the workplace today?

   Yes, as much as can be expected.

   There have been great strides, but there is still inequality.

   No. There is still a lot of inequality in both pay and opportunities.

   I can't say. I'm just not sure.

9. 6

   What about the pay gap / glass ceiling? It's been said that women earn about 77 cents for every dollar a man makes.

   It exists because the men in control won't let women rise to the top.

   It exists, but it's not because of men trying to harm women.

   It does not exist. Women can earn as much as men today.

10. 7

    Should women be able to take maternity leave without penalty?

    Yes, they are the primary caregivers, not men.

    Yes, but men should have paternity leave and also provide care for their children.

    No. If women want to be equal, they should make a decision between career and family.

    Maternity leave should be treated like vacation time - if you have it coming, then you can take it.

11. 8

    Abortion...

    Should be the woman's choice entirely.

    Should require the consent of both the man and the woman.

    Abortion should not be allowed. Ever.

    The father should be able to veto a woman's decision on the matter.

12. 9

    When it comes to child custody and support, our legal system:

    Needs to get tougher on deadbeat dads.

    Is extremely biased against fathers.

    Is better than it used to be, but still needs to recognize father's rights.

    Is the best it can be.

13. 10

    Some claim that feminism promotes hatred of men. Do you believe this is true?

    Yes, women really have the upper hand nowadays.

    Somewhat, but only among some seriously dysfunctional women.

    No. Feminism doesn't promote hatred of men. Men promote hatred of men.

14. 11

    What is the best description of feminism?

    A bunch of labia-lapping lesbians who should get a life.

    Women genuinely seeking equal rights in a reasonable manner.

    It can refer to reasonable women seeking equal rights, unreasonable women wanting to take over the world, and to men who believe women are equals.

    All of the above / none of the above.

15. 12

    Are you offended by the spelling of the word woman?

    Yes

    No

16. 13

    Should women take care of the children and home more than men?

    Yes. Women are the nurturers in our society.

    No. Both men and women should contribute equally.

    It should be a decision between the man and woman how to divide things.

17. 14

    Should women be allowed to appear in public without a shirt on?

    Yes, it's their body to do with as they please.

    Yes, so long as men are also able to.

    No way. I'd never get any work done.

18. 15

    When it comes to date rape...

    No means no. Always.

    No doesn't always mean no. A woman has responsibility too, but she should be able to dress as she wants.

    A woman should dress conservatively if she doesn't want to be raped.

    Women use the word rape to describe consensual sex most of the time.

19. 16

    Do you think your views are:

    Feminazi

    Middle of the road

    I value the old ways.

    None of the above.

20. 17
