Men are often a lot less vindictive than women are, because we are rejected constantly every day.

A family that knows how to play together has the tools to stay together.

Men’s greatest weakness is their facade of strength, and women’s greatest strength is their facade of weakness.

Image
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
Image
Our main reasons for fearing males having sex with males is that you really had to construct a more powerful social role to keep men in their place than you did to keep women in their place.

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

In the case of a man and a woman [accused of commiting a crime together], both will often agree to the man taking the rap despite the man being more likely to receive a longer sentence and more likely to be raped in prison. If blacks were agreeing to do that for whites, the black community would be smart enough to call that 'learned subservience.'

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.

The key to wealth is not what we earn. It is in what is spent on us.

Because of the feminist perspective, we have gotten a view of the world that is distorted.
Warren Farrell
Image
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
Image
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.

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.

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
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.

Together, we came to understand how we beg men to express feelings, but then when men do express feelings, we call it sexism, male chauvinism, or backlash.

The world increasingly allows girls to be whoever they wish to be - homemaker, mother, secretary, executive.
