Gender-Liberal

You scored 66% Gender-Abolitionist, 60% Sexually Liberal, and 40 % Socialist

You are the Gender-Liberal. This means that you share qualities with both Liberal Feminists and Gender Abolitionists. Like the Liberal Feminist, you feel political change needs to be done on a small-scale level through legislative change, not necessarily through a massive destruction of class society through the adoption of an extremist socialist stance. You are also very concerned with sexual liberation, and feel that women should be free to do what they please sexually without criticism, just as men should be free to do. However, you differ from the Liberal Feminist culturally, because you see gender as a social construction that needs to be destroyed. Like the Gender Abolitionist, you realize that gender is often perceived as one's identity, when it should only be perceived as a small, insignificant part of that person. We shouldn't be able to say "This person IS a woman". Rather one should say something more akin to "This person HAS the physical traits of a woman". This way, we wouldn't be assuming someone's physical traits are a part of their identity, and we couldn't use this difference to oppress them or categorize them. In short, you advocate extreme cultural change through the destruction of gender roles, but politically you are less extreme, instead focusing on individual or legislative change as opposed to a massive change of ideology.

In other news, I'm still in pain. The intensity comes and goes, but it hasn't been as bad as it was on Sunday morning. I'm trying to get in to see my rheumetologist about getting on some medication for it, but it looks like it's going to be a month before he can see me. I'm hoping my family doctor can do something for me in the meantime, because dealing with the pain is taking way more energy than I have to spare right now. I'm holding up okay, otherwise. Looking foward to the end of all these papers and to Fridge!

I hope that pain goes away soon. A month is a long time!

Ditto. :S

I think your quiz is missing a some html somewhere, because the table isn't closing :S

I know, but it's got the end table code, so I'm a little mistified myself.
