Human doing

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 may have been coined by Terry Kellogg although he apparently didn't link it to the male experience.

The term was popularised by Warren Farrell who often notes that:

“Men are not human beings, they are human doings.”
