They want to know your views of violence against women and girls.

I've completed it. What a badly written survey. Really surprised and disappointed.

@NoCurrentConvictions

Questions you can’t bypass asking your sex matches your gender identity. Also a question asking if you feel you are a man, woman etc
The phrasing of the sex question really irked me: How do you think of yourself? Male / Female / Other / Prefer not to say"

I ticked other and then wrote I don't think of myself as female; I just am female. Sex is not a "thought". That's why you're doing this survey, right?"

Don't know if they'll take any notice but it made me feel better.

Iceskatingfan · 14/03/2021 00:10

Thank you, I have done this

Iceskatingfan · 14/03/2021 00:11

I agree it was badly written

Guardup · 14/03/2021 00:12

Completed

Significantown · 14/03/2021 00:23

Had to give up. It was too traumatising for me

Significantown · 14/03/2021 00:24

V glad its not on the census. There’s a time and a place

TalktotheFoot · 14/03/2021 00:33

@Giggorata

I did it, I just ranted, gods know if it will be taken any notice of. I threw in everything, including how porn and the recent transcrap affects attitudes, leads to misogyny and objectification, coercion and violence.
I had a good old rant as well.
Stealhsquirrelnutkin · 14/03/2021 00:58

I chose "prefer not to say" for the does your gender match your birth sex question, since there wasn't an option to say NO because I don't have a gender I am female.

swampusdonkus · 14/03/2021 01:10

Done; thanks for linking to it

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 14/03/2021 01:28

Agree with LemonRedwood, just ticked Other and said I AM female.

They need an extra box: This is a Bollocks Question.

Gggggrrrrrrrrrrhhh!!!

Thanks for posting OP.

HoneysuckIejasmine · 14/03/2021 07:53

Done.

Belleende · 14/03/2021 07:57

Completed. Also answered other, I AM female, I just don't think of myself as such.

DesperatelySeekingPaintboxYarn · 14/03/2021 08:55

Filled in

lasttimeIplaythetartforUJerry · 14/03/2021 09:09

Another ranter here, I practically wrote a bloody novel. I wish I'd thought to write something similar to LemonRedwood about actually being a woman not simply believing I am one😡. Just filling that in has made me see red tbh. Ok, going to go and calm down a bit.

lljkk · 14/03/2021 09:11

I don't like calling online abuse = violence.

Is abuse not a bad enough thing to live thru now -- it must be upgraded to a word that people respect more? Pah.

BovrilonToast · 14/03/2021 09:22

Thanks for posting this. All completed

Impatiens · 14/03/2021 10:11

Done.

Bluekangaroo123 · 14/03/2021 10:27

I’ve done it. Also donated to Reclaim the Streets. I feel so passionate about this.

Daffodil1967 · 14/03/2021 10:32

Completed. I also agree it was badly written.

HeronLanyon · 14/03/2021 10:35

Thank you. Adding to my list vaccination ‘taking it easy list’ for later today. Although it may all raise my blood pressure !

HeronLanyon · 14/03/2021 10:35

Post vaccination That should read. About to set off for mine.

MaudTheInvincible · 14/03/2021 10:42

Reclaim the Streets have confirmed that the money they raise won't go to women-centred charities, but only to those that are inclusive of men.

If you don't feel this aligns with your values please give your money to a charity which works to improves women's lives instead.

BuddhaAtSea · 14/03/2021 10:45

Done. Thank you.

AgnesNaismith · 14/03/2021 10:52

Done 🙌 didn’t appreciate having to rate what needs to be done to help survivors (a preferable term to victims)

Also although they did ask what I consider my ‘gender’ they also asked whether it matched my birth ‘gender’ which, although badly written, seems a good sign.
