More quotes by Warren Farrell
Every movement has radicals. But the important thing is that the radicals are not the leaders.
Warren Farrell
[This is] the basis of the Innocent Woman Defense the Innocent Woman Principle:: Women are believed when they say they are innocent of violence and most easily doubted when they say they are guilty of violence.
Warren Farrell
Letting men die is a money-saving device. Safety costs money as one safety official put it, 'When everything is hurry, hurry, hurry, when you start pressuring people and taking shortcuts, things can go wrong. And then people die.' No. And then men die.
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
Circumcision in the United States is routinely performed without anesthesia, though anesthesia reduces the infant's stress and prevents infection and blood clots.
Warren Farrell
Visitation reflects the era of the absentee father parent time influences the re-emergence of the involved father. Visitation reflects the destruction of the family parent time influences the reconstruction of the family. Parent time influences an era that understands that as either parent loses, so lose the children.
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
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
The rules of sexism do not free men from the terror of violence they only keep men from complaining about it.
Warren Farrell
Falling in love is biologically natural sustaining love is biologically un-natural. Sustaining love requires a learned discipline. The discipline of love. The discipline of understanding our partner. (I've never heard someone say I want a divorce - my partner understands me.)
Warren Farrell
A family that knows how to play together has the tools to stay together.
Warren Farrell
The Government as Substitute Husband did for women what labor unions still have not accomplished for men. And men pay dues for labor unions the taxpayer pays the dues for feminism. Feminism and government soon become taxpayer-supported women's unions.
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
Our focus on discrimination against women during the past 30 years has blinded us to opportunities for women.
Warren Farrell
In brief, we do more research on men in prison, men in the military, and men in general than we do on women for the same reason we do more research on rats than we do on humans.
Warren Farrell
Once boys' and men's challenges are clear, the question 'why now' quickly becomes 'why didn't we see this sooner?' The answer? Virtually every society that survived did so by socializing its sons to be disposable.
Warren Farrell
And we reduce almost all male-female problems by working on both the female and the male. And that usually means having both sexes take responsibility.
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.
Warren Farrell
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
The 'enduring theme' [in fiction] of male competition and female competition for the hero/survivor has taken us from the fittest surviving to the brink of no one surviving. Sex roles have gone from functional to dysfunctional almost overnight. This is why the enduring theme must be questioned now.
