Liberal feminism
The Suffragette
«Same rights, same opportunities.»
Aims for full equality between women and men through rights and laws: the vote, education, work, freedom of choice and equal opportunity, within democratic institutions.
It does not appear among the test results: it is a movement born from an issue the test does not measure.
In short
On the traditional scale, this ideology sits in the libertarian center-left camp. The clearest positions are on society: strongly towards “progress”; religion: strongly towards “secularism”; state: fairly towards “liberty”; sovereignty: fairly towards “integration”. On economy, democracy and devolution it stays balanced. Among the other ideologies, the closest is social liberalism (96%).
