How masculine or feminine are you?

I can't say this one was a surprise, though I was a little further towards the masculine than I expected. Love the picture, though. Just call me Trinity!

Androgynous You scored 60 masculinity and 56 femininity!

You scored high on both masculinity and femininity. You have a strong personality exhibiting characteristics of both traditional sex roles.

My test tracked 2 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 30% on masculinity You scored higher than 23% on femininity

That thing cracks me up. I come out highly masculine, I think maybe 70%, and yet I had more yes's on the Girly Meme than you even contemplated. How does that happen? :)

Who knows? Despite all evidence (!) I think of myself as extremely female in personality - in a nurturing and people-oriented way, not a make-up and high-heels way. But I also think that a high degree of androgynousness is also a sign of high intelligence, and if traits like independence and resourcefulness are treated as masculine - which may be true but it's sexist to assume - well, they are desirable traits for anyone. And so is being kind and gentle.

With any luck this means we're able to write good male characters.

So feminine, not girly.

I think the concept of femininity and masculinity in general, no less in an online quiz, is pretty bias.

I sure hope so, I'd say a majority of my characters are male, so I'm in trouble otherwise.

Feminine not girly

Yes, that's it.... So why doesn't 'womanly' sound right? Wrong nuances, probably for sexist reasons. Silly language anyway.

In a historical context, women are very hard to write. I'm working on that.
