That is the new phrase used by A Voice for Men (an MRA website).
This new logo is an attempt to paint feminists as outside of humanism, a movement they themselves reject on many levels. This is a worn and tired tactic. A feminist can be a humanist and many are. And humanists may be feminist and many are. However they are not interchangeable. To say that it is, leaves little room for feminist issues to be discussed and the risks the narrative of to be easily changed or neglected.
