More quotes by Warren Farrell

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.

Every day, almost as many men are killed at work as were killed during the average day in Vietnam. For men, there are, in essence, three male-only drafts: the draft of men to all the wars the draft of Everyman to unpaid bodyguard the draft of men to all the hazardous jobs or 'death professions.
Warren Farrell
When only men could register to vote, we required only men to register for the draft. Today both sexes can vote, but only men must register for the draft.
Warren Farrell
Hazing is both testing and training to subordinate self to the team.
Warren Farrell
My wife's income allowed me to do what I really loved. I realized that women's liberation is men's liberation, too.
Warren Farrell
Because of the feminist perspective, we have gotten a view of the world that is distorted.
Warren Farrell
Black men, Indian men, and gay men have all have something in common: They do not provide an economic security blanket for women.
