I've decided to elaborate on how flawed the test is by showing what I'd answer if there was an option for it.
1 Someone tells a sexist joke. Do you: [My response would depend on whether the joke was actually funny or not. And yes, with something like this, my threshhold for laughter is higher than normal.]
2You are at a New Year’s Eve party and you see a woman who is dressed very revealingly. You think:
d) What an eyeful!
3You are in charge of putting a baby boy in his day clothes, but you can only find a pink baby’s tracksuit. Do you:
a) Leave him in his night-wear. [Despite this, I just cannot imagine myself being put in charge of a baby.]
4How do you feel if you cry? [Unfortunately, I find that I can't even cry. I mean, I watched Toy Story 3 a week ago, and despite the fact that it has a reputation for being a tear-jerker designed for people like me who saw the first two films in theatres the first time around, I couldn't bring myself to tear up.]
5If you are accused of sexism, do you: [Just tell them I hate all genders, religions, and racial aggregates equally.]
6What do you think of women-only groups, like that at Greenham Common Peace Camp? [Clearly none of my damned business.]
7You are asked why girls choose science subjects less often than boys. You explain:
c) Teachers don't encourage girls to do science.
8You phone up a couple of friends who have just had a baby. You want to go to a place where children are not welcome. Do you assume:
c) they both come, having organised a babysitter.
9You are describing the tennis star Martina Navratilova’s style of play. You say she is a brilliant tennis player because: [I don't give two shits about tennis or any other sport.]
10A friend asks if you are a feminist. You reply [that, in the sense that I think men and women should be on an equal standing in society, I am.]
11You need to recruit someone for a job. A man and a woman - both of whom have children - are equally qualified. Do you: [Consult the die.]
12Do you initiate sex with your partner: [I probably would if I were in a relationship.]
13If you are planning or have had children, who chooses the timing?
d) No-one!
14You are in charge of the baby for the day. While out the baby needs changing, but there are no diapers. Do you:
d) Remain oblivious to the baby’s wet bottom. [male: female: ]
15You and your partner send joint Christmas Cards to mutual friends. Who does the writing?
d) Never send them. [Although if I did, the woman would have to do the writing, not for any sexist reasons, but because my handwriting is like Linear A)
16Do you have to write a list when your partner does the shopping? [at home, my dad and I usually do the shopping.]
17When you cut your toe-nails is it
b) In the bedroom, picking up a few of the biggest parings. [What this has to do with sexism I have no idea.]
18Who drives the car if you both go out in it?
b) Your partner. [male: female: ] [I drive like Willy Lohman.]
19)Your partner complains that you don’t do a fair share of the household chores. Do you: [Ask her what the feck she thinks I should do.]
20You and your partner are at a restaurant Do you:
c) Share both the ordering and the bill.
