12. yes, why be divisive. why not be a humanist. |

unless you think feminism trumps humanism.
at base, your declaration of being a feminist means either you consider that feminism as a philosophy is more inclusive than humanism, or that you are merely inflecting a humanist attitude onto the historical inequalities females have endured.
if it is the former, you are being sexist and elitist; if the latter you are using the wrong rhetoric to explain your expansive world view because the philosophy of humanism does not compartmentalize as feminism does. unless you really meant that yours is an exclusive, not inclusive philosophy.
