More quotes by Warren Farrell
Men may be way behind in creating choices for themselves, but have actually been quiet supporters of the choices women want for themselves.
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
For the first time in human history the psychology that is a prerequisite for intimacy has become the psychology that is a prerequisite for species survival.
Warren Farrell
Is a man's body at stake? Any time a man is asked to work to pay child support, he is using his body, his time, his life - not for nine months, but for a minimum of 18 to 21 years. So the motto of the feminist with integrity is, 'It's a woman's and man's right to choose because it is a woman's and man's body at stake.'
Warren Farrell
Nobody has said to men, It is OK if you want to be a full-time dad find a woman who will support you.
Warren Farrell
Humans tend to start the process of change by acknowledging themselves. Thus blacks asserted black pride and 'black is beautiful' women declared 'I am woman, I am strong' men are saying 'I am man, I am okay.' After a quarter of a century of male bashing, that's not a bad start.
Warren Farrell
We have entered 'The Era of the Three-Option Woman and the No-Option Man.'
Warren Farrell
Our choice of partners is one of the clearest statements about our choice of values.
Warren Farrell
In brief, we do more research on men in prison, men in the military, and men in general than we do on women for the same reason we do more research on rats than we do on humans.
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
I would suggest that just as women who make it in the world of business need male business mentors, perhaps men who make it in the world of emotions will need female emotional mentors.
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
The irony of primary parent laws is that on the one hand feminists were arguing for women's equal rights to jointly-created career assets that emanated from the male financial womb, but arguing against men's equal rights to jointly-created children that emanated from the woman's child-bearing womb.
Warren Farrell
Nobody really believes in equality anyway.
Warren Farrell
When a dad admits he is wrong or asks for help, he allows the child to see him- or herself as adequate even when she or he is also wrong. It encourages children to make suggestions and, therefore, to discover their creativity because they have a chance of making a contribution.
Warren Farrell
Men are fair, and they have learned not to personalize anger - they can disagree with you and argue to the bone, but afterward they still consider you a nice person with whom the underlying human relationship need not be altered.
Warren Farrell
Our focus on discrimination against women during the past 30 years has blinded us to opportunities for women.
Warren Farrell
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.
Warren Farrell
Both parents' rights must be in balance so children can grow up with a balance between both parents.
Warren Farrell
A man's primary fantasy is access to a variety of attractive women without the fear of rejection.
