5. Have you read an article on an explicitly feminist website in the last week?

3-5: You're probably a gender feminist. You probably believe we live in a rape culture and that men have been oppressing women for thousands of years (or more) through the use of violence. You probably believe that domestic violence is something that impacts women far more than it does men and that it is right that the government focus DV funding on helping women while proving few or no services for men.

0-2: You're probably an equity feminist. You believe that feminism is about equality but don't really have anything to do with feminism. You are recommended to look in to feminism today and decide if you agree with what is being said about men and about culture and whether this is a movement you really want to identify with.

The terms gender feminist and equity feminist" were coined by Christina Hoff-Sommers. These terms are widely used by feminists and others and have been widely written about.
