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.

More quotes by Warren Farrell
Irony: While we increasingly hold people more responsible if they drink and drive, we hold women less responsible if they drink and have sex.
Warren Farrell
[With respect to child custody] a woman has no right to a unilateral choice that affects the rest of a man's life any more than a man would have the right to a unilateral choice that affects the rest of a woman's life.
Warren Farrell
When divorces meant marriage no longer provided security for a lifetime, women adjusted by focusing on careers as empowerment. But when the sacrifice of a career met the sacrifices in a career, the fantasy of a career became the reality of trade-offs. Women developed career ambivalence.

It certainly has not been in my self-interest to defend men.
Warren Farrell
He and she become selective at different points she can be selective when he wants his primary fantasy - sex he can be selective when she wants her primary fantasy - commitment.

By the 1970s, the American woman was being called 'liberated' or 'superwoman' while the American man was being called 'baby killer' if he fought in Vietnam, 'traitor' if he protested, or 'apathetic' if he did neither. Even men who came home paraplegics were literally spit on.
Warren Farrell
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.
Warren Farrell
Until recently, the question was 'Why can't a woman be more like a man?' It should have been changed to 'Why can't both sexes be more like the best parts of each other?' Instead, the pendulum swung to the 1960s feminist lapel button Adam Was a First Draft. True enough. So are we all.
Warren Farrell
Employers are not prohibited from practicing sex discrimination in hiring and promoting employees.
Warren Farrell
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.
Warren Farrell
The sexist perception that violence by anyone against only women is anti-woman while violence by a woman against only men is just generic violence creates a political demand for laws that are even more protective of women.
Warren Farrell
It is important that a woman’s “noes” be respected and her “yeses” be respected.
Warren Farrell
Sexual harassment in the workplace confuses rewards for performance with rewards for attractiveness and sexual availability.
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
Since no one is always right, always being right is really a role model for his children feeling inadequate.
Warren Farrell
Only when a woman shares male risks can she really begin to understand men.
Warren Farrell
Both parents' rights must be in balance so children can grow up with a balance between both parents.
Warren Farrell
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.
Warren Farrell
Every movement has radicals. But the important thing is that the radicals are not the leaders.
