Women only: Please take my quiz. No names, just your age and your country of origin. I am writing a book.
1. On a scale from 1-10, rate how much you want to have a husband, now or in the future, where 1 means you don’t want a husband and 10 means you would do almost anything to get a husband.
2. On a scale from 1-10, rate how badly you would feel if you never got married, where 1 means you would be fine with no husband and 10 means no husband would ruin your life.
3. Do you sometimes wear sexy but uncomfortable shoes or clothing?
4. Have you had any kind of cosmetic surgery?
5. Have you dieted too much?
6. Have you had sex when you didn’t want to?
7. Have you had an abortion? How many?
8. Does your man ever verbally humiliate you?
9. Does your man ever strike you in anger?
10. Has your man ever cheated on you? Did you take him back?
11. Has your man ever sexually or physically abused your children or grandchildren? Did you stay with him?
Thanks so much.
Thank you so much for your answers. You’re very kind to take the time and give it the thought that you did. Although I tried to make the questions morally neutral, I seem to have caused some animosity. Just to clarify, I am a rabid feminist and I hate the suffering and abuse of women and children at the hands of their intimate partners. I hate it. The numbers are staggering worldwide and it has been so throughout recorded history.
It appears from your answers that you are among the majority of women who are not hell bent to have a man. But, to some women, any man is better than none. Those women and their children are at risk for abuse.
Again, thank you for your time and consideration. I will take your advice and post this on a different board.
