Bem Sex Role

[Implode]

"This test measures masculinity and femininity on separate scales. Because of the subject matter and its age (from 1971) it is highly stereotypical."

See where you are on this chart. Just for fun.



Apparently I'm feminine.

[Jaffa]

I haven't finished taking it yet, but I have to comment on the fact that 'feminine' and 'masculine' are both included.  We're supposed to express how feminine and masculine we are in order to determine whether we're feminine or masculine?   

[Implode]

Self perception says a lot! 

[Adami]

I was almost the same as you Jaffa, with apparently a pinch more pussy juice.

[Jaffa]

I'm guessing you mean Implode, since I haven't posted my results.  I'm also guessing that I'm more feminine than most guys who will post in this thread.

[Adami]

Yup, meant Implode.

Eh, seems we're pretty close...

[jammindude]

I guess I'm androgynous...

[bout to crash]

Oh man, I remember reading about this shit in psych/SW classes. Here we go...

[Jaffa]

Eh, seems we're pretty close...

Hmm.  Somehow I find that surprising.   

[Adami]

..........shockingly accurate. Picture and all.

My wife and I were debating about the difference between "androgynous" and "undifferentiated"...  And we're kindof thinking that Bowie and Prince would be more "androgynous" and Pat would be more "undifferentiated"...

Maybe someone else can give their thoughts on the difference?

[Jaffa]

I would say that an 'androgynous' person possesses strong masculine AND feminine traits while an 'undifferentiated' person doesn't possess strong traits for either gender.

I'm probably wrong, but that's my way of looking at it. 

[BlobVanDam]

I don't believe those results at all. I should be a grade-A weeny by '70s standards!

Even just reading through the adjectives they're judging from, you can tell the whole thing is very antiquated in how it judges "masculinity".

[Implode]

Looks weenie to me. There's a difference between weenie and girly.

[jammindude]

I would say that an 'androgynous' person possesses strong masculine AND feminine traits while an 'undifferentiated' person doesn't possess strong traits for either gender.

I'm probably wrong, but that's my way of looking at it.

I like that description.   And it does kindof fit with what I was saying.    Bowie, for instance, *does* put across a very masculine and yet still very strongly feminine vibe.   Whereas the infamous Pat is just more completely neutral...not strongly exhibiting any gender specific traits at all.

[BlobVanDam]

Looks weenie to me. There's a difference between weenie and girly.

I'm not sure this test makes any differentiation though.

I think the only reason my result even edged over the "masculine" line is because of my indifference towards other people.

[Ħ]

First undifferentiated person in the thread.

[Implode]

I think the only reason my result even edged over the "masculine" line is because of my indifference towards other people.

Yup! And I'm feminine because I have empathy and am not very confrontational.

[bout to crash]

I am SO okay with being like Bowie 

I don't think I've ever found someone so terrifying and sexy at the same time.

[Jaffa]

I like that description.   And it does kindof fit with what I was saying. 

Yeah, I didn't mean to contradict you.  In my mind David Bowie is pretty much the definition of androgynous.

Also, BlobVanDam is so far the most masculine person in the thread.  Actually the only masculine person in the thread.

Oh no...I didn't think you were.   If anything, I was contradicting About to Crash.   But I think it ended up being a compliment.   Sounds like she'd rather be associated with Bowie than Pat.

Which...... is really sad.
Apparently being a jerk = being manly. Seems legit.

[jammindude]

You'll lose your "man card" if you don't start walking around like Red Foreman complaining about "what a bunch of pansies" we all are. 

 

[Jaffa]

I took it again, this time intentionally going for masculine:



All I did was pick 'Never Like Me' for everything that had to do with emotion, caring, or being submissive, and 'Always Like Me' for everything else.    

[Cyclopssss]

Mmm...just as I thought.

[Fuzzboy]

Taking the test as I listen to the soundtrack from a pixar movie. results may be skewed

[Zydar]

Pretty much what I thought.

[jammindude]

To tell you the truth.   If being masculine on this quiz is equated with a lack of caring and emotion.....then I'm TOTALLY COOL with being "androgynous". 

 

[MetalJunkie]

[Scorpion]

I have no fucking idea what to say for some of these and I'm still half asleep, which is probably the only way to explain that I'm more masculine than most other males in this thread.

[rogerdil]

[TheVoxyn]

Filled it in truthfully and expected more feminine. Guess it's mainly the independence and indifference things.

[Elite]

Well, that was fun:

[Scorpion]

All hail the manliest of DTF, Elite and TheVoxyn!
