Alkanadi:You have to be somewhat left-wing politically to learn a language that unites the world. You have to be somewhat open minded to do something that is not in the mainstream. Therefore, I think Esperanto does attract certain types of people who are free thinking.
I'm not politically left-wing. At all.

Would have been interesting to find out how many Freemasons are amongst us! LOL

orthohawk:I am also a Libertarian. Also, more specifically, I am an Orthodox Christian. I ticked both Vegan and Vegetarian, since depending on the time of year, I am both (in addition to omnivorous).
I go to an Orthodox Presbyterian Church, but I hear that's not related (the name I mean, all Christian denominations are related to some degree). I don't really consider myself personally to be firmly tied to any one denomination; that is probably because of my upbringing; my family always changing churches through my whole childhood. So now we go to a Presbyterian church, but I'd just as soon go to a Baptist or Lutheran church. Other groups I don't know a whole lot about, so I couldn't say whether I'd just as soon go with them or not, but it's very possible ridulo.gif.

Orthodox usually refers to certain Eastern European churches, plus less often Coptic, Armenian, Ethiopian etc churches

Definitions definitions... Always tricky ^_^ But I'm guessing we're just asking how people define themselves, not how our beliefs actually may or may not overlap.

Would only suggest one change:
Manist > Men's Rights Activist: Someone who supports equal rights for men; mostly around issues of circumcision, father's access to children and 'gender gaps' like educational performance, mental health, criminal sentencing and life expectancy.

If there are too many options, then maybe have different polls for different aspects: sexuality, religion, political affiliation, etc?

Maybe in English with its proclivity toward Greco-Latinate roots "manist" would be "androphile" or "andrist" - the negative take on this is "machist". What is "sith"? I looked it up in Wikopedia and the answer is rather fictional.

If you're looking for the opposite of "feminist," I think "masculist" would be the most symmetrical...

I don't prefer to engage in political discussions, but basically my position can be summarized as: The more people just mind their own business, the better the situation is, whether international, national, or individual. That doesn't mean that people and nations shouldn't communicate or have any relations, but they shouldn't interfere in each other's jurisdiction. The jurisdiction of the government is to protect the citizens, not to micromanage their every move.
