Apparently I'm a Liberal Feminist.

Does that mean the boys will like me more than you Radical Feminists?

runs and hides, but not before grabbing red velvet cupcake

MrsWembley · 17/11/2015 02:40

I'm a liberal feminist!

Shock

Am I still allowed in here?

SenecaFalls · 17/11/2015 02:11

The test. Just know that it's a bit US-centrist so some of the questions may resonate differently depending on where you are from.

You lot turned me into a radfem and now I spend my life turning others. I'm working on my desk-mate who keeps saying things like, "I think I'm a liberal feminist but I think prostitution is really harmful". I twirl my mustache and snigger. Maybe cupcakes would help.

PreemptiveSalvageEngineer · 17/11/2015 01:46

Testicle, you must be a rad fem, seeing as you don't just STFU and eat the cupcake that's given to you. How very dare you express an opinion! Xmas Grin

Phew!

Not sure JM would approve of the fanfic either. A bit racy for him :)

VestalVirgin · 17/11/2015 00:17

Plays, I am suggesting that she'll get a big hug and all the radfems will acknowledge that she's a great radfem.

Reading too much Hobbit-fanfic recently. Wink

TesticleOfObjectivity · 17/11/2015 00:04

Red velvet will do nicely. I'll have several please. My dp isa convinced that means seven.

TesticleOfObjectivity · 17/11/2015 00:04

Not a grocer, I'm nowhere near enough interesting. More like somebody waiting for a bus, or browsing in Wilkinson's. Just a bit of a blah.

PlaysWellWithOthers · 17/11/2015 00:02

Ahem... are you suggesting that Testicle is John Major, Vestal?

A touch cutting, I feel?

PlaysWellWithOthers · 17/11/2015 00:01

Testicle, if it's any help, I also made red velvet cupcakes, you're welcome to one of those, if you prefer.

And I wouldn't worry about feeling unimpressive, all the radfems I know feel like that quite a lot of the time.

and Grin @ OneMore

thatstoast · 17/11/2015 00:00

Splitters!

LineyReborn · 16/11/2015 23:59

Vestal, I feel a judaean people's popular front moment coming on.

VestalVirgin · 16/11/2015 23:58

Testicle, you mean radfems would look at you and say "She looks more like a grocer than a radfem"?

thatstoast · 16/11/2015 23:58

will wellies do instead of doc martins?

Depends really, no cutesy cath kidson stuff. See if you can find some wellies with a vulva motif.

OneMoreCasualty · 16/11/2015 23:56

Plays = sharp lemon feminist, not drizzly drizzle feminist.

Got it.

@Liney: Jenner can identify as anything, obviously, the question is whether any actual radfems would consider Jenner a radfem.

TesticleOfObjectivity · 16/11/2015 23:51

I really want to partake In the feminist cupcake eating, but I have to be true to myself. I just don't like lemon cupcakes. Or lemon desserts of any kind, apart from lemon sorbet.

I am a rad fem I suppose. I think I feel aa bit unworthy of the title, a bit of a let down. If I turned up to battle, everyone would be a bit like "ohhh.. Is this all we get?" (This isn't one of those times when I say 'I'm rubbish' and expect everyone to crowd round staying 'no you're great.')

PlaysWellWithOthers · 16/11/2015 23:42

Not sure I know many radfems like that Testicle. Most seem to be like me, not loud, not overly confident, just bloody sure that women generally get the shitty end of the stick most of the time and determined to do something to change that.

Wanna cupcake?

TesticleOfObjectivity · 16/11/2015 23:40

I do have doc martens through.

PlaysWellWithOthers · 16/11/2015 23:40

I actually have a T Shirt that has the legend "Radical Feminist" across the chest region.

Gets hidden by the dungarees, sadly.

TesticleOfObjectivity · 16/11/2015 23:40

Yes I've done that test more than once and scored highest on rad fem. But I'm just not what I imagine a rad fem to be. (That is a loud confident person, who doesn't care about their appearance or what others think about them - in a good way).

thatstoast · 16/11/2015 23:38

Do you want to borrow my doc martens? Size 7. I assume you already have dungarees?

After reading many threads here, I told my husband I was a Terf. He insisted that I wasn't as I'm generally quite nice and accepting irl but if the internet says you're a terf then that's it as far as I'm concerned.
