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
But when feminists suggest that God might be a She without suggesting that the Devil might also be female, they must be opposed.

Black men, Indian men, and gay men have all have something in common: They do not provide an economic security blanket for women.

One danger of a man succeeding is that it teaches his wife and daughter not to worry about success.
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.
Warren Farrell

Warren Farrell
Women attempt suicide more often because they want to become the priority of those they love rather than always prioritizing them.
Warren Farrell
Blacks are six times more likely than whites to be victims of homicides.
Warren Farrell
Hazing is both testing and training to subordinate self to the team.
Warren Farrell
On an unconscious level, the demonization of sexuality usually implies the demonization of males and the victimization of females.
Warren Farrell
You could make a case that women addicted men to their sexuality and then withdrew their sexuality until we provided them with a source of income.
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
In the past quarter century, we exposed biases against other races and called it racism, and we exposed biases against women and called it sexism. Biases against men we call humor.
Warren Farrell
For example, the equivalent of a woman being treated as a sex object is a man being treated as a success object.
