TL;DR
It was concluded that two dimensions only may be too simplistic a view of this sex-role inventory of independent masculinity and femininity dimensions.
Abstract
The present study presents a factor analysis of items of the Bem Sex-Role Inventory of independent masculinity and femininity dimensions. Some support was given to the independence of M and F dimensions, but because these together accounted for only 17% of the variance and many other factors were extracted, it was concluded that two dimensions only may be too simplistic a view of this sex-role inventory.

A new sex-role inventory is described that treats masculinity and femininity as two independent dimensions, thereby making it possible to characterize a person as masculine, feminine, or "androgynous" as a function of the difference between his or her endorsement of masculine and feminine personality characteristics.

Whether in a college sample of 523 students there were a small number of factors common to both sexes, or if the MF scale consisted of so many weak factors that the practice of giving people scores on it should be abandoned, is investigated.
