More quotes by Warren Farrell
Every movement has radicals. But the important thing is that the radicals are not the leaders.
Warren Farrell
Women-in-jeopardy movies are, in essence, the updated versions of men dying to save the princess from the dragon to earn her love. They are modern-day training films for teaching women to select the best protectors while weeding out the rest.
Warren Farrell
Perhaps the most prevailing expectation of men is our Superman expectation: the fear we are merely Clark Kents who won't be accepted unless we are a Superman.
Warren Farrell
Blacks are six times more likely than whites to be victims of homicides.

For the first time in human history the psychology that is a prerequisite for intimacy has become the psychology that is a prerequisite for species survival.
Warren Farrell
Is a man's body at stake? Any time a man is asked to work to pay child support, he is using his body, his time, his life - not for nine months, but for a minimum of 18 to 21 years. So the motto of the feminist with integrity is, 'It's a woman's and man's right to choose because it is a woman's and man's body at stake.'
Warren Farrell
I've gone from being quite wealthy, when I was defending women, to being quite poor defending men.
Warren Farrell
When men in relationships have more money, we say they have the power. When women in relationships have more money, we say they are being used.
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
Why do we resist giving help to homeless men? In part because we don't understand how our pressure on men to support families often forces men to take transient jobs that are but a step away from homelessness (the death-of-a-salesman jobs, the migrant worker jobs...) and in part because we respond differently to men who fail [than women who fail].
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.

Ive always been motivated to stop people from doing dysfunctional things.

If a woman isn't being hazed, she's not being tested therefore, she is not being trusted.

After a divorce, men's biggest fear is, typically, losing their children (women's is poverty).
