More quotes by Warren Farrell

Warren Farrell
Women's genetic celebrity power magnifies men's protector instinct. It inspires the government-as-substitute-husband. Men's addiction to the genetic celebrity is either invisible or in the denial stage thus we either don't see it, or when confronted, deny it.
Warren Farrell
No movement calls [migrant workers] oppressed for providing money for women from whom they are receiving neither cooking nor cleaning for providing their wives with homes while they sleep on the ground.
Warren Farrell
Women's vulnerability confessing their desire to see men as a success object is matched by men's confession of compulsiveness of sexual desire for women.
Warren Farrell
