Warren Farrell
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.
Warren Farrell
It certainly has not been in my self-interest to defend men.
Warren Farrell
I've gone from being quite wealthy, when I was defending women, to being quite poor defending men.
Warren Farrell

Warren Farrell
Male makeup is men's titles, status and paying for dates. Makeup is what both sexes use to bridge the gap between the power they have and the power they'd like to have. Both male and female makeup are compensations for feelings of powerlessness.
Warren Farrell
Women and men look at their life, and women say, What do I need? Do I need more money, or do I need more time? And women are intelligent enough to say, I need more time. And so, women lead balanced lives men should be learning from women.
Warren Farrell
Choosing safety is a choice of life over career.
Warren Farrell
This is the first time in history that we've had this level of luxury, so we have a new opportunity to rethink the way we approach God.
Warren Farrell
Men’s greatest weakness is their facade of strength, and women’s greatest strength is their facade of weakness.
Warren Farrell
In America and in most of the industrialized world, men are coming to be thought of by feminists in very much the same way that Jews were thought of by early Nazis. The comparison is overwhelmingly scary.
Warren Farrell
Empathy is at the core of family stability and love. I've never had a couple come to me and say, I want a divorce my partner understands me.
Warren Farrell
So long as you create laws that define women as victims, as creatures that demand protection, that need bodyguards, you are going to perpetuate the very worst of our sexist past.
