This is hard to grasp.  Many values overlap, and many people 
never define their terms.  I think the best i can do without
sounding pompous or harsh is to urge all to look at the two
words and think about what concepts would cause YOU to make
a distinction, to choose one word over the other.

Took me a lot of thought to understand this.  The key for me
was the implications of one simple fact:  Men and Women are
different, and neither is better.

All my male friends fight sexism in their own way, and this 
is close to a requirement for my full respect.  However, I
have never met a male feminist.  Humanists all.

Happy thinking!
