Ambivalent Sexism Inventory. I scored a .55 on the “hostile,” and a .82 on the “benevolent.” I’ve got a guess why, but I’ll hide it so you can take the quiz unspoiled.I think this is because I answered some of the questions more charitably that they were intended. Like: “Women should be cherished and protected by men.” Of course they should! Just as men should be cherished and protected by women! I don’t think the question was meant to be taken in that way though.
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

I got 0.00/0.64. I feel the same about the ‘cherished’ question. But I didn’t score it as high because I thought of gay couples.
The dyke pops up – 0.09/2.82. But only cos i was answering it like a butch/femme quiz. Should femmes be put on a pedastal? = Hell Yeah!
