Your favorite type of left-wing woman?

[Radical Activist]

Poll question: Your favorite type of left-wing woman?

Which of these left-wing female stereotypes do you most like to date or find the most attractive? I realize the types often overlap, but try to pick a favorite.

I apologize for the shallow nature of this poll, but it is meant to be in fun. I hold all left-wing women in high regard.

[Jamastiene]

1. Of course, my dream girl

HAS to be liberal and HAS to be a punk. Thanks for posting this poll. It's something I've wanted to have an excuse to say for so long now.

[Radical Activist]

2. You're welcome

and good luck with that. The liberal punk women are a lot more common now than when I was in college a few years ago. I still like the type.

[hfojvt]

3. what no deadheads?

what about a Professor type - preferably sociology or psychology or, dare I say it, history - be still my heart!

[ET Awful]

4. I'd say that deadhead would fall under the "total hippie chick"

category :). Can't say as to the rest.

[Radical Activist]

8. I would think so too

I didn't think of the intellectual professor type. Darn. And I do like Historians. Everyone who has a job related to history I've ever met has been a good person. I don't think too many jerks do history.

[Seabiscuit]

5. Other. My wife. Intelligent, witty, fun loving wife & mother to my son.

"Traditional" values in the true sense of the words (not the right-wingnut preverted kind). A fellow Boxer and Dean supporter.

[sendero]

6. My wife too...

... she's a professional woman, smart and savvy. Like me, she is not a traditional "leftist", but she is a liberal who understands how things work and what is wrong with them.

She works as a manager with mostly men and believe me, they don't mess with her - she shoots down bullshit like it was skeet. On the other hand the politics she has to endure would send me screaming, I don't know how she does it. :)

7. I can't tell you how much I love those Tibetan Prayer Flags...

...in your sig line.

I have them on my flag-converted-to-Martin-house pole. Since I have about 20 bird feeders, the local Audobon Society comes here and does a yearly bird count, something I always forget until there's someone on my lawn trudging around with a pad and pen. One year, I looked out to see a woman taking pictures of my prayer flags and all kinds of alarms went off in my head - until I realized it was just the bird counter who thought the flags were interesting. Scared the crap outta' me for a moment, though. This was soon after 9/11 and all the hysterical anti-American accusations were out of control.

[sendero]

9. Yes...

.... we have some on our patio. They are old and weathered, my wife insists you are not supposed to replace them just because of that :)

We have a place in the country that I visit most weekends. We love wildlife of all kinds and the birds there are fantastic, especially in the wintertime when various birds are just visiting.

Wifey tries to keep the feeders full - that's not possible but the suet will last a couple weeks :)

It is easy to put those flags in your sig line - send a message if you need to know how.

And BTW - love your username, funny :)

[Misunderestimator]

10. A lot of left-wing type women not on your poll...

myself included.

[Huckebein the Raven]

11. Civil Rights activist but I also

have a fondness for hippies and punks

[XNASA]

12. Whichever Katrina van den Heuvel fits into.......

That's the kind I like.

[Misunderestimator]

13. I'm with you there...

[GOPisEvil]

Whew! That's my kinda liberal hottie!

:D

[Poor Richard Lex]

43. yeah Katrina is smokin, and smart too

[jswordy]

14. OTHER. How one-dimensional the choices are!

The one I married has aspects of selections #1, #3, #4 and #5.

:shrug:

[Kat45]

15. I'm a left-wing woman, and I don't fit into any of those categories.

Actually, I don't know if there is a category for me. :D

[Radical Activist]

16. That's true for many women

Obviously, stereotypes are always limited and flawed.

[SarahB]

53. Bingo!

Me too!
Hey, we're multi-dimensional. Strange how something so complex as a woman's entire personality couldn't fit into a few categories. :shrug:

[Radical Activist]

54. right, like I said

the poll is shallow.

[SarahB]

55. It's not you necessarily.

I'm just personally terrible at any fitting into any of the assorted prescribed niches. Life would probably be a lot easier on some levels if I weren't.

[Radical Activist]

56. Well, that's a good thing

Most women are like that.

[RevolutionaryActs]

17. Hmm... what one am I....

Let's see, I like to think of myself as hippieish, I loved Kucinich, but knew he wouldn't make it. ;(
I would dearly love to get into politics.... can't really say I'm a tree hugger, but I do like to commune with nature.. and granola isyummy....

Kleeb would say I'm a psude bisexual because I hit on Veronica all the time. :shrug:
I'm thinking of organizing a protest for the anniversary of the start of the Iraq war. And deep down inside, above all. I'm a punk rocker. You might not think that, but I can not live without my punk music. And I have been known to say "fuck the man" or something like that... so where does that leave me? :silly:

[Radical Activist]

19. hmm....sounds like most of the women I date

They fall into two or more of the categories, even if they lean more towards one.

You might ask two questions to determine the answer. 1) Do you have your eyebrow, nose, and/or tongue pierced? 2) Do you wear long flowerly skirts made of hemp or organic cotton?

That might help. haha

[RevolutionaryActs]

21. LOL!

1) Do you have your eyebrow, nose, and/or tongue pierced? No. I want my eye brow pierced though, but I don't like pain. ;)

2) Do you wear long flowerly skirts made of hemp or organic cotton? Not usually, but I have a couple. :D

[Radical Activist]

24. Then maybe

you don't fit squarely into any of the categories. You might stay on the borderline of several types, or you might go more into one category in college. The important thing is that you are a left wing hottie, and that is good.

[RevolutionaryActs]

28. hehe

I'm not a left wing "hottie".....

I'm letf wing, yes, but hottie... I dunno.. cutie maybe?

[Radical Activist]

30. No!

Just the fact that you are a left wing woman makes you a hottie. Besides, we can all see your pic in the gallery. Stop lying to yourself! :spank:

[RevolutionaryActs]

31. Ooh... pfft...

I'll just say 'thank you' and go off and blush now. :)

[ghostsofgiants]

18. Nothing hotter to me than a leftist emo girl

Mmmm...

[cedahlia]

20. What about...

us smart, sexy, sassy librarians??? :-)

Librarians are overwhelmingly liberal...I think we deserve to be considered for "favorite type of left-wing woman." My husband will tell you how much he loves his sexy librarian. :evilgrin:

[Radical Activist]

22. My brother married a liberal librarian

I should have thought of that! Its too late to add it to the poll though.

[Longgrain]

46. LIBERAL LIBRARIAN!

That's exactly what I thought when I saw this poll.

:loveya:

[name not needed]

23. anti authority punk/emo

:)

[Magrittes Pipe]

25. The pretty, kind, and smart type?

:shrug:

[Radical Activist]

27. I'm not sure that's a liberal stereotype

Any type of woman could be pretty, kind and smart.

[Lisa]

26. how about a frumpy scientist type with glasses?

What, no takers?

[Radical Activist]

29. Do I know you?

Sounds like a friend who recently stopped returning my calls. I don't know why. :shrug:

[Lisa]

33. probably not

If I decide to stop calling someone, I definitely explain why. And there's usually a pretty good reason, e.g. "your new girlfriend just sent me a death threat".

[Radical Activist]

35. lol

I think I had a girlfriend do something like that once. Ok, I wasn't a death threat, but I know for a fact a young intern I was working with was very sterntly told "You better not flirt with my boyfriend!" haha
Sadly, I think I should have left her for the intern, but I'm too loyal.

34. Did you vote in the poll Grovelbot?

[Radical Activist]

36. Oh no

Skinner keeps grovelbot for himself, except at the annual mods hot tub party.

[RevolutionaryActs]

37. Oh my...

That sounds kinky. :o

[Radical Activist]

38. I can't believe tree huggers are doing so badly

I love environmental activist women. Its not easy to find a woman you can go backpacking in the wilderness with.

[Catholic Sensation]

39. voted the first one

she'll understand :D

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

41. Hippie girls are indeed the best

:D

[Catholic Sensation]

44. yeah especially this one i know

i'm fairly certain you'd like her :-D

[LoZoccolo]

40. Pro-choice.

That way I don't have to worry about some baby coming out cuz they believe in abortion and shit.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

42. Hippie and tree hugging, granola munching..

Those two kind of go hand in hand, or so I've found.

[Radical Activist]

50. Yes they do

Those are usually my favorites.

[NightTrain]

45. I've friends in all those categories, but for a long-term relationship...

...it's just gotta be a civil rights activist. They rock, y'all! :bounce:

[CatholicEdHead]

47. Strong Educated Christian Liberal Woman

Someone up on the latest leftish theology with a brain to use it. Someone who is smart, caring, and humble.

From one of the traditional liberal Christian sects (some Catholics, ELCA, etc...). Other denominations besides Christianity are also welcome if they follow similar values.

[Bok_Tukalo]

48. Cynical, satirical borderline libertarian

that thinks the whole process is absurd and refuses to take any of it seriously.

[The Sheik]

49. What about just a normal attractive girl who is leftwing but doesnt need

a false style of dressing to express herself. Last time I say a punk girl was when she cried when she was about to get her teeth pulled.

Those people think they're so tough.

On Edit: Southern Chick.

[LiberallyInclined]

51. other.

just your average, intelligent, considerate, kind and beautiful person- a lot like my wife.

[Borgnine]

52. Just somebody with a sense of humor.

Nobody that's unbearably PC, but a total liberal. A comedian, I guess.
