newsflash
If you are a misogynist or spout misogynist rhetoric or even just passively allow misogynist social values to be perpetuated, you are not and cannot be a humanist.
Additionally, feminism as a whole is not bent on devaluing maleness or the male experience; its goal is to ensure that women, who have historically been dehumanized and denied rights, have the exact same rights as men. Its goal is to level the playing field between the opposite sexes (and extend the same privileges to anyone whose sexual or gender identity lies in between the two).
If a woman spouts anti-male rhetoric or perpetuates demeaning and devaluing stereotypes of men, she is a misandrist. If you are a misandrist then, just like misogynists, you are not and cannot be a humanist.
Seriously, guys, it’s not that complicated.
Heads up, followers.
Starting Thursday I’ll be sharing quotes by Kurt Vonnegut, one of my favorite authors — and definitely one of my absolute favorite humanists.
Would anyone be interested in a bio to go along with them?

Followers!
By your request, I’m going to be researching and writing up biographies on some famous humanists to share here. My question for you is:
Who would you like to see profiled, and what information would you find essential to an accurate portrait?
Picture says it all.
