"Why
can't you just be a humanist?" by spacefem
Excerpt: As always,
everyone loves to say that feminists are self-centered. By calling yourself
a feminist, you're ignoring the fact that there are
starving children, political prisoners, endangered species and
terrorism. I'm always amused by this because most of the feminists I
know are actually very active in these other movements... they're
willing to participate in a gay rights protest or donate to human
rights organizations. These people who bring up the humanist argument,
accusing Feminists of being self-centered, are never actually doing
anything for human rights.

The F-Word: Contemporary UK Feminism
This webzine exists to help encourage a new sense of community among UK feminists, and to show the doubters that feminism still exists here, today, now - and is as relevant to the lives of the younger generation as it was to those in the 60s and 70s. The webzine was founded by, and is mainly written by younger feminists, those of us born during or after the feminism of the 60s and 70s. Although no-one is barred from contributing on grounds of age, we are particularly keen to encourage and showcase the new voices of younger feminists, our peers. To this end, contributions from new writers and young women and girls are particularly welcomed and encouraged.
