Feminist, Egalitarian, male-chauvinist? Do you fall into one of those categories? We have tried out this quiz in Spain, Italy and Turkey to find out how sexist our students are, and the results have been concluding. Boys keep having a slight bias towards the second concept while girls are
clearly feminist. The good news is none of them fall into male-chauvinism!!
