Where am I on the scale of masculine to feminine?

Tell me about it, I'm permanently in shock that the 80s were forty years ago and most of the actors from 70s, never mind 60s, series I watched are long gone!

I just typed a long reply along the lines of,
What supposed decades old questionnare is this?! All this nonsense femininity-masculinity spectrum stuff has only just appeared in 21st century!!
Then I realised we are SEVERAL DECADES IN to the 21st Century already...
😱
(Apologies to young readers, just some middle aged garbling!!!!!)

Peach is Pink only heavier!

Not to mention varying from society to society, and at different times within the same society! Try telling an Elizabethan or Georgian dandy that swanning around in vivid silks and velvets, makeup and jewellery isn't masculine and you'd get a sword in the guts.

Men don't get a lot of options, do they? The 8, 9 and 10 versions appear to be identical - and only differ from 11 because he's not tucked in his shirt.

As a man with a mixture of "masculine" and "feminine" characteristics, I completely agree. There is not one axis of feminine/masculine, but many. Also, what is considered feminine or masculine depends on what culture we live in - in my lifetime, UK culture (in itself a huge simplification, as there are many cultural variations in the UK) has changed, so that what is expected by society of women and men has changed.

When I was young, men rarely cooked or ironed; the latter is still probably not common, but in my social circles it's no longer considered "women's work" in the same way as in the '60s. These days most self-respecting men are proud of their cooking skills. And men are not expected to be the "head of the household" any more - certainly not by their wives!

Print it off and cross out the question. Write instead ”there is male/ female with nothing imbetween. How I behave and how I dress does not change that”

Exhaust pipe?

it’s almost unbelievable that this utter guff has been shown in slide presentations to schools and workplaces!

What's going on with the red head?

This scale?

I’m orange (trouser suit with a bit of a puff sleeve).

They should identify specific traits or behaviours and ask how relevant they are, eg how often do you clean/do childcare/wear makeup/change the oil in the car/think about the roman empire, and take it from there.

I'd just answer 7, that was your gut feeling.

I wouldn’t beable to take a sure seriously with a question like that in it.

Can you just leave it blank? Or do you have to answer it?

Perhaps they should have a couple of preliminary questions;
Were you born with a penis?
If yes, is it now in a jar of formaldehyde?

This sort of shit question I would other go N/a or don’t know if available, or a 5 (absolute middle).

Bizarre survey, whats it for, and why is it relevant?
Personally I wouldnt fill it out and if there was an option, Id say I dont identify as either construct, I just am.
If not Id write to them and say it, and point out many dont buy into these old fashioned boxes.

I'm intrigued to know what this survey is! Do they account for cultural differences? My dh wears pink shirts. Does that make him more feminine? He's Italian though and doesn't equate pink shirts with being feminine - should I give him a few more masculine points? What on earth could this data be useful for?

You might gently tell them there is no scale. You are either male or female (even if you are one of a vanishing small number of people who have a DSD, and even then you would still be male or female).
One might say that there are nuances of masculine and feminine expression, but that has to do with personality.

I vary in masculinity and femininity depending on which 'microculture' I'm interacting with at any given time, or whether I'm spending time with my daughter, doing sporty things or lounging on the sofa. Sometimes I watch trash TV and a lot of the time I'm watching Star Trek.

Is Star Trek watching a masculine pursuit? I know LOADS of Trekkie women, in fact there are a lot of Trekkies on this board. Therefore it could be argued to be a feminine pursuit.

Last week I had a period, something only women do - does that make me less womanly now since I'm not having a period and men don't have periods.

I hate these stupid completely nonsensical questions! Might as well ask "are you a typical Libran or do you possess traits associated with the other star signs?".

What is this survey? Where did it come from?

Every biological woman is 100% feminine whether we conform to imposed stereotypes or not. That question is a complete bolleaux.
