The term human doing refers to the tendency for men to be valued and viewed in relation to their utility rather than their intrinsic value as a human. It stands in contrast to the conventional term human being and uses the word being as a pun. The term was popularised by Warren Farrell who often notes that men are human doings, not human beings.
The term may have been coined by Terry Kellogg although he apparently didn't link it to the male experience.[1][2]
