Humanism>Feminism
I know this is like the third post today, but I'm thinking a lot about something. I am a humanist. And under that umbrella of humanism, there is feminism. And I might kind of hone in on feminism, but that's because it's kind of the only thing I can identify with when it comes to inequality among different types of humans. But in all honesty, I just think all humans should be equal. And I would fight for any groups rights to be equal. I personally just don't see how people don't treat all others with respect. I was reading something earlier and it was kind of saying that by giving feminism a name, it was making a subject of women, and sectioning them off. And that is what I think my problem with feminism is. That by calling it feminism it is insinuating a difference. And yes, women are obviously different from men, but why should women be looked at like that, as something other than men. Why can't it just be, we are women, we are humans, we deserve the same treatment as other humans? I don't know. There is so much trickery in words sometimes. I am going to continue to think about this.
