Lovism: A Humanist Alternative to Feminism

By Henry Blair

Women who wanted to be treated as equals but could not relate to the aggressiveness of present-day feminism, and men who never disagreed with women's equality and were nonetheless left out of a world created by radical feminism, could finally find in the book Lovism the word they were looking for to express together their feelings and views. Both could say now, "I support both sexes, not one. I support the other, not merely myself. I am not a feminist, I am not a men's rights activist - I am a lovist."

Instead of the hostility and competitive antagonism between the sexes that extremists have caused, leading to a rupture between men and women while excluding most of them from all discussions about the relations between them, this book offers a shared conversation for both, in which they could talk with each other about each other - not under intimidation, but in mutual understanding.

Instead of the forcefulness of present-day feminism, what the book proposes is a conversation. Most men and most women yearn to have the conversation. To talk, in order to understand and to disclose. This is all what lovism as a philosophy of equality is - a conversation where both men and women, instead of blaming and fearing each other can reveal to one another their true feelings, hopes, dreams and pain, to create mutual understanding. A conversation upon which, norms and codes can arise through an open discourse rather than through dictation. A conversation creating for the first time, a shared philosophy of equality for both sexes.
