There is a fandom survey going around, which you will recognise by the huge banner people are posting for it. DO NOT TAKE IT.
You can read comments here for how problematic it is, and their mission statement is here, which I am kicking myself for not reading before taking the survey.
Their mission is to prove hardwired gender differences. How on earth is that possible? Fandom is mostly women! How are they going to get enough men to make such a comparison? And their questions are so loaded and full of assumptions and some of them have no answers that don't force you to choose what they want you to choose, that either you have to skip the question (which I didn't even know was a choice) or lie in order to proceed!
It's a badly-designed survey. It's a heavily-biased survey. Even if you agree with their mission statement, you shouldn't take the survey because it's a piece of shit survey. Any survey that requires you to lie to proceed is a bad survey (and since there is nothing that says you can skip a question and still proceed, many people will indeed lie in order to be able to move on).
