Are You A Real Woman/Man? Gender Purity Test

Though the above may have given you a chuckle, the truth is that the question about being a real man/woman is not the quiz question we really want answered. The real questions most of us have are: What is normal? What is average? What behaviors are caused by this not-so-sane society? What is inherent vs what is learned? Are MY behaviors and inclinations OK? The following purity test/quiz will test your ideas about these issues. Note: This purity test is thought-provoking (and offensive to some). 1. T F ...

In the above ideal society, most characteristics that we now call "masculine" and "feminine" would be displayed equally often by women and men. more @ this topic 22. T F ... In today's society real men often display "feminine" characteristics and real women often display "masculine" characteristics. This is healthy. more @ this topic Answers: either run your mouse over green dots above or below on this page. Popular "wisdom" in this area of male/female differences is flawed, partly because the feminist movement too frequently popularized "NO differences." NOT worrying about feminine and masculine characteristics is the HAPPIEST way to live.

Past survey results include: "Are this site's quizzes bad?"

As for my purity test answers; questions eleven, thirteen, fifteen, seventeen, nineteen and twenty-one are false. The others are true. Most of you reading this will probably disagree with a few, perhaps many, of my answers to this purity test. If so, I suggest reading the below excerpts from Be Your Own Therapist - Whoever You Hire Is Just Your Assistant.
