What a stupid quiz. Does being denied the opportunity to enter the girls shower room in high school due to my gender count as discrimination?

Sir Lod... Took a look, too many questions plus am tired of shopworn PC nonsense. You get an A for slogging thru it.
31 out of 100 - where's my f*****g check?

Yes, it was bone-headed, but I pressed on.

You live with 75 out of 100 points of privilege. You’re among the most privileged people in the world. We don’t live in an ideal world, but you happened to be born into an ideal lot. This is not a bad thing, nor is it something to be ashamed of. It just means a lot of other people in the world don’t live life with the advantages you have, and that’s something you should always be aware of. Hey, the fact that you took the time and effort to check your privilege means that you’re already trying.

You live with 46 out of 100 points of privilege. You’re not privileged at all. You grew up with an intersectional, complicated identity, and life never let you forget it. You’ve had your fair share of struggles, and you’ve worked hard to overcome them. We do not live in an ideal world and you had to learn that the hard way. It is not your responsibility to educate those with more advantages than you, but if you decide you want to, go ahead and send them this quiz. Hopefully it will help.

Some questions were idiotic. As if a person is under privileged because they-- GASP-- have no cable. That's a choice. A smart choice. A pragmatic choice.

Agreed, the question assumed that a person would automatically pay for cable if it's available. That's a choice. A smart choice. A pragmatic choice.

Apologies up for posting such a goofy quiz, but after struggling through all the dopey questions, I wanted everyone to experience it. My bad, lod

To me, "Do you have high-speed internet?" would have been more pertinent.

I'm always good for quizzes:

Not at all. It reinforces the truth about the controlled culture under which we now live. My bad, lod

Is DSL high-speed? It's the only thing above dial-up in my trailer park. I finally ditched dial-up in the year 2014. I ditched my satellite TV a few years back. I didn't take the quiz or even look at it. To me, "Do you have high-speed internet?" would have been more pertinent.

The hell with gender, I'm worried that they will keep me out based on age discrimination! Bastards! Does being denied the opportunity to enter the girls shower room in high school due to my gender count as discrimination?

I started to slog through it but quit after the twentieth fag, fairy, butfucking question I determined the "quiz" was a tool that had no merit and I backed out of it. Pardon the pun.
