We would not think of allowing a man to determine a woman's life merely because a fetus he helped create was in her womb then why would we allow a woman to determine a man's life merely because a fetus he helped create is in her womb?

Sexual harassment legislation feels unfair to men because if they sued over an ethnic joke, or over a woman discussing pornography or asking them out, they'd be laughed out of the company.
Warren Farrell
When only men could register to vote, we required only men to register for the draft. Today both sexes can vote, but only men must register for the draft.
Warren Farrell
The government passed more laws to protect women from dirty jokes than to protect men from death by faulty rafters at a construction site.
Warren Farrell
Together, we came to understand how we beg men to express feelings, but then when men do express feelings, we call it sexism, male chauvinism, or backlash.

The key to wealth is not what we earn. It is in what is spent on us.
Warren Farrell
