This is the first time in history that we've had this level of luxury, so we have a new opportunity to rethink the way we approach God.
Warren Farrell
Image
Crime, especially crime involving money, reflects the gap between the expectation to provide and the ability to provide... If we really want men to commit crime as infrequently as women, we can start by not expecting men to provide for women more than we expect women to provide for men.

Men tuned into women but not tuned into their own hurts usually retained the attitude that women needed special protection.
Warren Farrell
Image
It is ironic that a movement that made its reputation championing the irrelevance of biological differences when those differences were to most women's disadvantage immediately returned to biological determinism when those differences were to the most women's advantage.

I define power as control over one's life. Pay is not about power. Pay is about giving up power to get the power of pay.

If women really earned fifty-nine cents to the dollar for the same work as men, what business could compete effectively by hiring men at any level?
Warren Farrell
Image
If an employer had to pay a man one dollar for the same work a woman could do for 59 cents, why would anyone hire a man?

A woman with organizing skills can run a construction company without ever picking up a hammer and nail.

Men don't oppress women any more than women oppress men.

Women's liberation and the male midlife crisis were the same search--for personal fulfillment, common values, mutual respect, love. But while women's liberation was thought of as promoting identity, the male midlife crisis was thought of as an identity crisis.

I define power as control over ones life. A balanced life is far superior to the male definition of power: earning money someone else spends while he dies sooner.
