You are Emma Goldman! You are the mama of
Anarchist/Communist feminism and you inspired
millions to embrace the labor movement. Without
ever directly saying so, you directed efforts
toward saving wymyn and children from
exploitation. Oh yeah, you were also a total
sexpot!


Which Western feminist icon are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

Haymaker

You are one of life’s enjoyers, determined to get the most you can out of your brief spell on Earth. Probably what first attracted you to atheism was the prospect of liberation from the Ten Commandments, few of which are compatible with a life of pleasure. You play hard and work quite hard, have a strong sense of loyalty and a relaxed but consistent approach to your philosophy.


You can’t see the point of abstract principles and probably wouldn’t lay down your life for a concept though you might for a friend. Something of a champagne humanist, you admire George Bernard Shaw for his cheerful agnosticism and pursuit of sensual rewards and your Hollywood hero is Marlon Brando, who was beautiful, irascible and aimed for goodness in his own tortured way.


Sometimes you might be tempted to allow your own pleasures to take precedence over your ethics. But everyone is striving for that elusive balance between the good and the happy life. You’d probably open another bottle and say there’s no contest.

What kind of humanist are you? Click here to find out.

I gotta say, those pictures of you with the glasses -- not terribly flattering.

Sorry.

You're very pretty, but maybe look at different frames next time?

::is hilarious::

Never could find time for contact lenses.

[glitterboy1.livejournal.com]

On the other hand, as the last picture shows, you do have great teeth.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

All the better to... I'll stop now.

[glitterboy1.livejournal.com]

Thank you. That's probably better all round.

Dude, you are Emma Goldman! That so rocks!

I tried to do that 'what sort of humanist are you' quiz but gave up early on because I wanted to give two answers each to the first two questions (I like the architecture of mediaeval cathedrals and their oppressiveness makes me sick; I simultaneously accept [b/c, you know, free speech, censorship never a useful thing anyway] and condemn [b/c, you know, I bet he condemns me] Yusuf al–Qaradawi's visit to the UK).

I like how you are a hedonist humanist and Fun is the most important thing in temeres's life.

Good God. I'm a hardhat. I believe in science, worship Darwin, and can't stand ritual or mumbo jumbo in myself or others.

Who knew?

[altariel.livejournal.com]

My god, these quizzes are clearly tapping into some deep vein of Truth!

[gair.livejournal.com]

What a cool icon.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

It gives me great pleasure.

[iainjcoleman.livejournal.com]

I got "Hardhat" as well, but I'm sure it's bunk.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

But there were ticky-boxes and everything, like real Science.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

I used the 'close enough' approach to answering the questions and, as you see, it was wildly accurate.

[temeres.livejournal.com]

Somewhat to my perplexity, I also came out as a Haymaker (as in making hay while the sun shines, I presume, rather than slugging people out cold with one punch). Sounds like I should have been a Hardhat, though.

I didn't have much trouble with the cathedrals question, but I did with the perfect garden question. My idea of a perfect garden is one that looks like it gets attacked by a billhoook twice a year (an illusion one can cunningly contrive by attacking it with a billhook twice a year).

You've been outed as a rampant hedonist this week.

[temeres.livejournal.com]

Really? Where?

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

In your journal, as I recall.

[temeres.livejournal.com]

I might be fun-oriented, but the pleasures in question are not terribly sensual. I'm pretty much a hedonism-free zone. Unless Tesco spinach and ricotta pizza counts.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Oooh you wildcat!

[altariel.livejournal.com]

What feminist icon were you?

[temeres.livejournal.com]

Apparently I'm Angela Davis. Of whom I have never heard.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Nor I.

[jomacmouse.livejournal.com]

Nor I, though I feel certain I've seen her picture somewhere before. Darned if I can say where, though...

(And should I feel scared I came up with the very same answers to these quizzes as temeres? ;))

[the-wild-iris.livejournal.com]

Wow, a red revolutionary hedonist! They'll never let you into the US again.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

*preens*

A good match...

[oursin.livejournal.com]

'If I can't dance, it's not my revolution' E Goldman, attrib, in response to some dour comrade getting at her for doing anything so frivolous.

Re: A good match...

[altariel.livejournal.com]

What a great quote (and sentiment), thank you!

[popehippo.livejournal.com]

Anarchist/Communist? Isn't that some kinda oxymoron? O_-

[altariel.livejournal.com]

I'm in stitches over that icon.

[popehippo.livejournal.com]

You cannot resist the LOL!Owls. ;D

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Gimme more!
