Rather the Feminism than the Rorschach test!!!

So, me too, I took The Feminism Test I found the link to at Sigrun's blog.

Your result for The Feminism Test...

Revisionist

You scored 83% Gender-Abolitionist, 60% Sexually Liberal, and 80 % Socialist


You are the Revisionist Feminist! You are, by far, the most philosophical, the most sexually-liberated, and the most politically extreme variety of feminist. You are very, very freedom-oriented. You abhor oppression in all forms. For instance, your views on sexual liberation and reproductive control adequately reflect your devotion to personal freedom. Not only that, but you also feel gender needs to be destroyed to maximize equality and freedom, because accepting socially-constructed gender roles binds women into false categories and places upon them an unneeded identity. Gender should not be a part of one's identity, but rather an irrelevant aspect of their physical bodies, such as their hair length or nose shape. Not only that, but Revisionist Feminists are political extremists and feel very strongly that the oppression of class society is a big part of the cause of women's oppression. Basically, a Revisionist feels that cultural ideas of gender, political class, and repressive sexual morality all work together to oppress women, and the only way to truly escape this oppression is to challenge all of these problems directly and extremely. You are a Marxist, a Gender Abolitionist, and a Liberal Feminist all rolled into one.


The other feminist types:

The Housewife

The Marxist

The Liberal

The Liberal Extremist

The Gender Abolitionist

The Radical

The Gender-Liberal

The Revisionist

Some paranoid campaigning against avaricious campaigning

What I find quite baffling, time and time again, is that, while feelings run high about an independent. private blog, no one seems to be appalled at, just as an example, psykiatrifonden's (a major Danish organization , promoting bio-psychiatry) CAMPAIGN: "Depression can be measured". Yes, indeed! Sadness can be measured, you bet! You maybe didn't know? "The Hamilton Rating Scale is an internationally acknowledged method for measuring the degree of depression", the website tells us.

Well, some time ago, I actually took the test, on the i-net. Oh boy! I made a score of 29, and thus would have won a lifetime supply of Effexor, scoring clearly above the limit for "major depression". Had it just been for real. Now, one thing is certain: I'm definitely not "depressed". That's just not my style. Never was. So much for the international acknowledgement of this method.

Effexor? Why Effexor of all those antidepressants? Precisely! The campaign, which also ran on TV, is sponsored by Wyeth. We maybe aren't (yet) that sophisticated in Denmark to have direct-to-consumer advertising, but we sure do have indirect-to-consumer advertising! (Did I hear anyone murmur something about sarcasm??)
