Resurgence in feminist activism survey

I did this survey last night after seeing it on Facebook. It seems to be mostly students who are responding and for a balanced response I think the MN feminists might like to take part. I don't know the woman who's running it or have anything to do with it, I just thought those here might be interested.

Hello!!
I graduated from LSE a few years ago after having been involved with the fem soc and anti-Miss University protests there.
I am currently conducting some research on the resurgence in feminist activism. The survey is aimed at anyone who defines as feminist or anti-sexist (men included) and has been involved in some activity around it in the past few years.
The biggest ever survey on the new feminism was conducted in 2010 and had 1200 participants. This survey is now up to 1,067 so I am quite keen to be able to meaningfully compare the results.
Any questions or comments please feel free to email me at estellecooch at gmail dot com
If you'd be willing to take the survey, send it round any lists you have or post if on facebook I'd be really grateful. Cheers!

The "should sex work be legal" question bothered me a lot.
Where is the "I support the Swedish Model" or similar alternative?

I clicked on other and put that. Ugh! A bit choosy choice really.

I blame how the survey was written, not you Buffy because I almost put "yes" too.
"Sex work" is so vague. I dislike the term so much. It can mean pimp, stripper, pornographer...many things.

That question perplexed me too. I don't think that the purchase of sex should be legal but sex work is far wider than prostitution. I did the best I could & emailed the survey writer.

I put yes first off and then the next question made me think that it might be a mistake. Something Buffy once said about skewed survey results means that unless a question is really straightforward, I tend to go for the 'other' option and explain.
