Because guaranteed that if that sexist bastard is tossing his nail clippings all over her clean house (cuz we all know women like clean stuff and are tidy), then he is probably also not wiping his butt very well either. Obviously that pig is a total misogynist and just wants to humiliate wifey! And that's the hidden truth behind skidmarks.

Strange then that it is my sister who has a room only a tornado could call home I don't automatically conclude 'man=dirty and disorganized' and 'woman=clean amd tidy'... and rather see these preconceived notions as sexist in the first place. The whole test is similarly ridiclous 0.o I answered that question by selecting all three options, as I am just as likely as I am not to clip them hile in the bathroom as I am to chew them off and eat them (this one wasn't mentioned... for some reason I got the impression that theyw ere talking only of toe nails) as I am to thoughtlessly get rid of it while watching television.

You'd be leaving the whole test blank.

144.

I'm ashamed of my low score. I was hoping for a much higher number.

I did not understand the objective of that test. We all have our place, we all know where we stand.

What do you mean, 'we all have our place'?

My better half and I were discussing something about the organization of the shores at home, when she came up with this one:

"Well, men are more practical regarding the house, because they only use half the brain!"

I rest my case.

Darwinian I say that we have our place because we are designed to be different and we have different roles to play.For the man,it is to provide,and for the woman it is to nurture.As you may be able to observe,when the roles are reversed it results in chaos for all involved.Men should be men and women should be women for the sake of the success of society.

I repudiate that statement and I have observed no such thing. This seems to be a simple lie put about by men to keep women in their place.

I have two children whom I brought up myself, basically taking on the role of mother and father and I can assure you that they are well behaved and well balanced individuals. Certainly no chaos has ensued in this case.

I have seen it so many times,especially here in London.Men acting like women and insisting on doing the cooking while women go out and neglect their children.It is very wrong and not practical.Also men are starting to become too emotional and they cry easily,they have no strength,they can't keep strong and solve problems any more.Meanwhile women are acting like men and it is very unattractrive and inappropriate.It doesn't work.
Soon one day society will break down if this continues.It happens in big cities where people get all kinds of strange new ideas about how to act,when the old ways work best and there is a good reason for it.
When I marry my girlfriend next year it will not be like this.I will work, and she will cook and clean and do her duties.She knows this already and she agrees with me.I will make a list of my duties and she will have hers.When things are organised and everyone knows where they stand,it results in smoothness and efficiency.When men act like flowers it is detrimental.

I'm sorry. I didn't realise that you had just dropped straight out of the pages of a Dickensian novel!

What you are witnessing are the hard fought result of the emancipation of women. No longer are women repressed by men, told what to do and how to behave as if they have a particular role in society whether they like it or not.

And I'm also sorry that your upbringing seems to have given you such a homophobic attitude towards anything other than the stereotype butch male. It's pretty clear that you are a typical, old fashioned kind of Christian after all, who yearns for the old days of women knowing their place and children being beaten when they are naughty and the proud man at the head of the table carving the Sunday roast with pride that he has provided for his family, with no thanks to the poor women who slaved all day to cook it.

I expect to you, the Enlightenment was just something that happened to other people!

Quite frankly I find you attitudes quite primitive and extremely tribal and it's very sad that they exist to this day in even a minority of the population.

I may be wrong but I think this sums your attitude up nicely.

My score was 72. When my first two answers were that I'd laugh at a sexist joke and that I'd think 'What an eyeful!' if I saw a revealingly dressed woman, I was afraid that I'd end up being more chauvinistic than a Muslim version of Gene Hunt. As it was, I seem fairly enlightened next to some members of the forum (ahem... Dotard... ahem). Mind you, I don't have a girlfriend/wife, so maybe there's still time for me to become a sexist pig...
