But not using humanism here opens the field for this radical crowd, who call themselves feminists, you usually find on Tumblr (and a few other places) and who find sexual harassment against men perfectly fine, because, hey, it’s feminism and all men are unworthy of one’s respect anyways.
The civil rights movement in the US managed to pick a word that was not so easily abused by radicals.
- illuminate 14y ago"not using humanism here opens the field for this radical crowd, who call themselves feminists" Feminism is a specific application of humanism. Humanism is feminism. Self-ascription means that anyone can call themselves a "feminist", so you'd be harping about all the women in "humanism" when they're supposed to be promoting HUMANS NOT WOMEN. You'd have something to complain about no matter what they called themselves.
