...and you don't know it? Find out!
...and you don't know it? Find out!
Do you despair over finding a lover who will treat you like the nasty girl you are in bed (but with respect and enough safewords)?
Does it irk you when you make balanced arguments, flush with reason, intelligence and equanimity—and your man goes, “Lol, PMS?”
Do you believe Bollywood’s highest paid actress Deepika Padukone should earn at least as much as Ranbir Kapoor—instead of half—because they are contemporaries, she carries her films alone and has had twice as many hits as him?
Do you think body hair—having too much, too little or none at all—is about how you like your body hair, and not a litmus test of your womanliness?
Have you given up on Tinder because explaining to Jalpesh, Kamlesh and Siddhesh why wanting casual sex doesn't preclude you from the rules of consent and human dignity ruins the mood for everyone?
Do you think the only thing "you're asking for" when you drink too much is a nasty headache and a fuzzy tongue, not rape?
Are you okay with your boyfriend sobbing in a movie or after a bad day at work?
Do you facepalm when celebrities and other humans say they're not feminist because they love men, but they definitely also believe women deserve equality?
Do you often wonder why it's considered impressive when men call themselves feminists, but off-putting when women do?
Do you think ‘rape’ is not an accurate description of a tough gym session, a yelling from your boss or what the dollar is doing to the rupee because it neutralises what is a heinous crime against human rights?

Oh no! It looks as though you won’t be winning any feminism contests, which is just as well because feminism is not a contest. What it is is a deep, abiding and actually quite simple belief, that men and women are not the same, but we are equal and must be treated that way. In other words, feminism works out well for everyone–no one gender is belittled and beleaguered as women have been for centuries. What is it you don’t agree with, and why friend?

You're dangerously close to being a full-throttle feminist, but you want everyone to know you're actually a humanist? That's like saying 'Gay Pride' should be called 'Human Pride'? Or #BlackLivesMatter should be made #HumanLivesMatter – it doesn’t acknowledge the particular group that has suffered endless injustice. Still not comfortable with the F-word? Well, you can call yourself a potato for all we care, dear budding feminist, just don’t stop believing!

You can’t even with this whole quiz–where is the question? Of course, you’re a feminist. You understand that gender roles are just a social construct and women have drawn the short end for too long. Sure, things are better now–thank you, early feminists!–but we still we have a way to go before we’re truly equal, and feminism will take us there.
