“It’s like Axe body spray for your nails.” Was just awesomely put! You can butch it up all you like at the end of they day, you’re still a man wearing nail polish. If you’re a man who can’t wear nail polish proudly without pretending it’s really not nail polish then maybe you should just stop wearing nail polish! (Same goes for “manscara”. Seriously, you’re wearing make-up. Deal with it.)

Should I keep taking more tests until I get more consistent results? I want a proper diagnosis now. I have more questions about the questions. I wish there was a question “You’re compelled to demand more information about many of these questions.” I bet that would really say something.

Listening to you two talk about it, I had a feeling that I was, but I just took the test linked in Kat’s comment, and it’s definitely true.
My strongest wing is 5, which makes me “The Bohemian.” I have to admit, I like that.

Thanks so much for introducing this, I had never heard of it either!
And I agree with Kat, this is much better than Myers/Briggs.

But yeah, it’s totally the wrong perception to have of feminism and indeed I’ve always been one whether I knew it or not. I’m finding this sort of thing with atheists not wanting the title of atheist and the baggage that goes with it so I’m actually in an exchange with my atheist feminist friend about these labels. As I said to her, at it’s core, wanting women to be in control of their own lives is sort of a “Well, duh” issue for me so being actively feminist seemed (perhaps incorrectly) like an excessive step forward past the obvious which iI undoubtedly support! When we really get into it, I think we’ll really get into the meat of the misconceptions about it and other labels.

I hope this answer helps for now! I’m actually so ready to have this conversation now but I’m typing on my phone and would like to castrate the man who made this type pad.

Also, thanks for your support and comment! Yay!

This would be akin to me insisting that Stephanie is a crazy fundamentalist because WBC represents ALL of Christianity, facts be damned!

I totes respect your right to not identify as a feminist, but if you support equality of opportunity and choice for women…um, I have bad news for you, but you might be a feminist.

I just wanted to voice my concerns; Dontini is one of my favorite podcasts, but I’m sure you would understand that its hard to hear part of your identity bashed, particularly when you feel the accusations are misplaced or inaccurate. I know you wouldn’t care if you had one less listener, but it would bother me quite a bit. Favorite podcast and all that.

So, yeah…in my infinite wisdom, if maybe the Dong could refrain from instantly characterizing feminists as man-haters or crazy extremists…that would be awesome. Tikku!
