Is it time for a Feminist Manifesto for DU?

30. Humanist is certainly one term I'd very much like to re-claim and it certainly at least implies the

dynamics of how all persons, male and female, become all that each potentially is, but I don't know whether it would have much to say about how women do that in whatever would be a uniquely feminine way and not necessarily compared to how men would do that in whatever would be a uniquely masculine way.

Though, if we're talking about how humans become what they are, that would include their cultures, so insofar as a culture has different aspects for women and different aspects for men, there is a context to talk within that frame about how women become women in their respective cultures.

I also have to say that if biology is going to be part of this, and it certainly IS in regard to reproductive issues, how do we avoid sexism? Is the principle that there'd be ranges of tendencies toward certain more or less uniquely feminine traits and behaviors enough to avoid the pitfalls of sexism?
