Where am I on the scale of masculine to feminine?

agree you should ask for clarification as it’s not a single line. So if I’m asked to solve a problem I may consider that I have a more masculine approach but if I’m asked whether I enjoy watching fighting I would say feminine. But I’d resent both questions as they are underpinned by stereotypes.

And come back to us with the response!

Maybe you could say something like: please can you clarify what you are measuring on this scale? Is this about looks, clothing, hobbies, etc? If so, could you provide a list of how you judge the relative feminist or masculinity of these elements? If you are basing them on stereotypes, could you give a brief description of the stereotypes you are referring to, please.

There is no scale of masculine to feminine.

Some traits are considered more masculine and some are considered more feminine, but they all vary as to mood and situation, and weather 🤷‍♀️

Totally weird question. I’d kind of want to put a 5, but then wouldn’t want to feed into results like ‘73% of women don’t identify as a woman’

I'd want to know what behaviours they count as masculine and feminine in their stereotypes.

Yesterday, I did ironing and sawed off a load of tree branches. I don't know whether thst makes me masculine or feminine, and more pertinently, I don't know what other people would think of me for doing those things.

How have they framed the question? Is it sex or gender? Sex, is binary, so a scale isn't relevant. Gender, you could argue is a scale, but only if you think that wearing a dress or make up is an inherently gender specific thing, which it also isn't. I was around in the 80's...... So the survey has been badly put together, and is relying on gender norms which in fact don't exist.

I don't wear make up often, I live in jeans and jumpers in the Winter, dresses in the Summer. I have short, undyed white hair. I am 10/10 and adult human female, and 100% a woman.

What a weird question! Definitely email for clarification. It sounds like they are asking how well your appearance matches societal beauty standards/behaviour expectations for women? But what exactly are they talking about? And why would they even need to know that?

I'd assume they're asking about social and cultural stereotypes.

I'm 100% female but not especially feminine.

It must be about gender expression, as male/female is pretty binary. Very few people are less than 100% one or the other!

You could ask them to clarify… is it the breast cancer one? I used to do that.
