Masculine/Feminine test

[Thistledew]

This 'test' is circulating on my social media. I think the introduction tries to work very hard to justify the test's relevance, and there are many ways that the whole premise can be examined. For a start, I think it is easy to predict which traits they consider to be masculine and which are feminine, so it would be very easy to answer according to an image you wish to project. Perhaps it would be more revealing if a friend answered for you?

I wonder how MNers tend to do? I (heterosexual woman) scored 61% masculine and 25% feminine.

it would be interesting to post in on the non FWR boards and ask people to say how feminist they consider themselves BEFORE taking the test and then put their score down.

Then you'd be able to work out (albeit with an extremely small data sample) if women are more likely to become feminists when they don't subscribe to the traditional notions of gender.

I'm pretty sure being prone to jealousy makes you feminine because as we all know women are catty bitches

Masculine, surely?
I know this is grim, but I’ve seen & read countless reports in the news etc of cases where men have assaulted or murdered women because they’re jealous of the woman’s relationship with another man.

67%masculine which apparently makes me Facebook !? (There was no casually or similar definition.)

I’m actually quite surprised that it wasn’t higher.

I scored masculine, told DP we're now in a gay relationship. DP took the quiz he scored feminine so I guess we're straight again.

78% masculine, 0% feminine. Extremely masculine.

89% masculine!?!?

I spent all of yesterday baking. I'm fucking Martha Stewart (who I bet would score massively 'masculine').

It's clearly nonsense.

81% masculine/0 feminine%

@SamPotatoes - indeed! I'm apparently also extremely masculine, despite sitting here 37 weeks pregnant...

Delta, I suspect my massive swearing habit has over-ridden those inconvenient ovaries cos everybody knows women don't swear.

(My colleague told me that apparently the average person swears 14 times a day on average. I can do 14 in a single sentence before I've got out of bed in the morning)

94% masculine 25% feminine

I've always seemed to get on / feel more comfortable around men but I never would have put myself that high??!!!

slinks off to throw high heels, false lashes and fake tan in the bin

Most ridiculously stereotypical thing I've ever seen......

75% masculine and 22% feminine - the "makes you" bit was blank

Haha, you might have a point there.... I also often use the F word as a handy adjective

Delta- Noun, adjective, verb. It's such a flexible word it can be all of them!

Sam - as in the famous sentence "Fuck! The fucking fucker's fucking fucked again."

That's bollocks.

I got 86% masculine and 25% feminine.

It's a ridiculously sexist (genderist?) set of questions. I expect my "feminine" characteristics are liking children and being fairly sympathetic. All the rest was to do with self-confidence, not "gender identity" or even "sex".

Having said that I've taken a few of these recently and I come up strongly male in all of them. I look back on my short-haired, denim-wearing, good at maths and football 12 year old self and thank all the powers that be that trans wasn't a "thing" in 1975.

I'm also "this makes me ... blank" by the way. Are all the >100% people blank?

FFS, I've just done it for dh. I know he's nicer than me, and he is the calm, happy one in our marriage, but he comes out as 94 fucking % feminine

He's very much a man, a sportsman, full of testosterone, but also gentle, loving, kind.

How fucking, fucking STUPID.

I wasn't surprised by mine, but his is just ridiculous. Are all nice men now women?

I'm 75% masculine, 46% feminine.

That means that I am 'casually masculine' and that they don't understand percentages.

I got androgynous, very low on masculine and feminine. I think 12 and 19 percent. I did it three times and got my husband to help on the third, and each time got very low for both. I feel like I'm not a proper person now.

My dh got 78% masculine

@Afternooncatnap it is total nonsense though. It's a small selection of apparent personality traits/behaviours that have been classified by someone as masculine/feminine/neutral. It's the same level as those quizzes from Buzzfeed that go round Facebook etc that tell you what kind of animal you are.

That's a silly, silly test.

I think you should all get your partners/sons to do it.

It seems to me that it's divided up by ambition and sense of purpose and being sure of yourself. If you have those, you get masculine.

If you are more laid back, nurturing, shy or "nice" you get feminine.

That, to me, is even worse than the stupid ones that ask if you like video games/maths/knitting

casually masculine

So the sort of person who would be a stay-at-home-dad would get "feminine". A woman who is ambitious and driven, and capable of running a company would get "masculine".

It's made to drive gender divisions, to back up the "ladybrain" and "male assertiveness".

I am irrationally angry at this one.

31% masculine
94% feminine

“Typically feminine”
