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 not human beings, they are human doings.” [1]

The term may have been coined by Terry Kellogg although he apparently didn't link it to the male experience.[2][3]
