More quotes by Warren Farrell
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?
Warren Farrell
In the past we believed both sexes were born with original sin. Today, we have come to unconsciously believe in the original sin of boys, but the original innocence of girls.
Warren Farrell
In brief, our genetic heritage is at odds with our genetic future. For the first time in human history, the qualities it takes to survive as a species are compatible with the qualities it takes to love.
Warren Farrell
Our love for children is so immediate in part because we feel their powerlessness immediately conversely, part of the way we deny our love for men is by denying men's powerlessness. Too often we have confused love for men with respect for them, especially for their power to take care of us - which is really just love for ourselves.
Warren Farrell
The weakness of men is the facade of strength the strength of women is the facade of weakness.
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.

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.

Feminists often discuss women having two jobs: work and children. True. But no one discusses those divorced and remarried men who have three jobs: work, and two sets of children to nurture and financially support.
Warren Farrell
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.
Warren Farrell
Both sexes allow men dentists inside our mouths, but, well, have you ever let a man who is a dental hygienist inside your mouth? The man must earn his way to our private places in a way not required of a woman--he must become the doctor or the dentist, or forget it.
Warren Farrell
Options allow a woman to tailor her role to her personality, but if a man expects to provide well, he expects to wear a suit, not to wear what suits him.
Warren Farrell
All women's issues are to some degree men's issues and all men's issues are to some degree women's issues because when either sex wins unilaterally both sexes lose.
Warren Farrell
We always look at the 'Fortune ,' and we say, men in power, but we don't look at the glass cellar as opposed to the glass ceiling and say, men also are the homeless, men are also the ones that are the garbage collectors. Men are also the ones dying in construction sites that aren't properly supervised for safety hazards.
Warren Farrell
In brief, when a man fails as a wallet, we put him in prison when a woman fails as a mother, we offer her social services. We're taking a criminal approach to men, a social services approach to women.
Warren Farrell
So while in men's magazines success is a power tool to get sex and love, and therefore the look of success is crucial, in women's magazines love and sex are power tools to get success and therefore both the look of love and the sexual tease/promise are crucial.

Teaching the child to treat boundaries seriously teaches the child to respect the rights and needs of others. Thinking of another's needs creates empathy.
Warren Farrell
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.
Warren Farrell
A shared choice movement sees the fetus as the genes of a woman and the genes of a man the flesh of the woman, the flesh of the man the bone of a woman, the bone of a man the responsibility of a woman, the responsibility of a man the rights of a woman, the rights of a man. It desires a transition to equality.

Survey 2001: Men who never married, never had a child, worked full time and were college educated earn only 85% of what women with the same criteria earn.
Warren Farrell
Empathy is at the core of family stability and love. I've never had a couple come to me and say, I want a divorce my partner understands me.
