I am seriously thinking of no longer calling myself a ‘feminist’ and instead seeing myself as a ‘humanist’.
Some forms of feminism aren’t really addressing the underlying issues.
Why do some men behave so terribly? Could it be that they are suffering too, and that there are not enough programs for boys and men to help address their suffering and harmful behaviours? We are all human first.
There are still many good men. How can we bring out the better side of human beings, including men and boys? Beyond labels and gender, don’t most of us want to see less violence and inequality and focus more on possible solutions?
