Quote

With men, we blame the victim. We blame men because we have camouflaged men's victimization by teaching men to also be the victimizer. Men's victimizer status camouflages men's victim status.

Male-female fusion does not create women's rights. It creates a fusion of rights.
Warren Farrell
Image
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
Image
When we suggest that men are at the top because men discriminate, we miss the point. Men are at the top of the work hierarchy because work has been primarily men's responsibility.
Warren Farrell
Image
When we hear men are the greater victims of crime, we tend to say, 'Well, it's men hurting other men.' When we hear that blacks are the greater victims, we consider it racist to say, 'Well, it's blacks hurting blacks.' The victim is a victim no matter who the perpetrator was.

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.

On an unconscious level, the demonization of sexuality usually implies the demonization of males and the victimization of females.

Industrialization created the Father's Catch-22: a dad loving his children by being away from the love of his children.

Image
When I feel very loved, when I nurture and support people, my experience is deepened. I feel connected to a larger purpose and meaning.

When women are at the height of their beauty power and exercise it, we call it marriage. When men are at the height of their success power and exercise it, we call it a mid-life crisis.

If my parents had made love a tenth of a second earlier or later, I wouldn't exist. What an enormous miracle, just being given life.
Warren Farrell
Image
For thousands of years, most marriages were in Stage I--survival-focused. After World War II, marriages increasingly flirted with Stage II--a self-fulfillment focus... Love's definition is in a transition.
Warren Farrell
Image
Laws are made with such attention to protecting women that, if a man's constitutional rights conflict with a woman's protection, his rights disintegrate before her protection disintegrates.

Image
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
Image
I feel awed by the mystery of being both so finite and yet so infinite, so much and so little, so conscious and yet, so coincidental.

When we look at the pay of men and women who do work equal hours, two discoveries are quite astonishing: --When women and men work less than 40 hours a week, the women earn more than the men --When men and women work more than 40, the men earn more than the women.

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
Image
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.

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.

The less a man is willing to give up a sex object, the more he'll be trapped into becoming a success object.
