More quotes by Warren Farrell
If a female employee is offended, a boss would like her to tell him, not sue him.
Warren Farrell
Raising children was not designed for single parents. (Which is why divorce was such a taboo prior to birth control).
Warren Farrell
If my parents had made love a tenth of a second earlier or later, I wouldn't exist. What an enormous miracle, just being given life.
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
I'm an awfully loyal friend. Once I've started a relationship with someone, it's like they are syrup and I'm a pancake. Their syrup gets into my pancake, so to speak.
Warren Farrell
Men don't oppress women any more than women oppress men.
Warren Farrell
In fact, the socialization gives us the tools to fill our evolutionary roles. They are our building blocks.
Warren Farrell
Falling in love is biologically natural sustaining love is biologically un-natural. Sustaining love requires a learned discipline. The discipline of love. The discipline of understanding our partner. (I've never heard someone say I want a divorce - my partner understands me.)
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
Being forced into early retirement can be to a man what being given up for a younger woman is for a woman.
Warren Farrell
Throughout my life I have always been amazed that people couldn't listen to other people, that they couldn't hear their best intent, that there seemed to be an enormous need to demonize.
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
Financial analysts make a lot more than accountants.
Warren Farrell
Our children are better served by speaking not of visitation versus custody, but of parent time.
Warren Farrell
Men will not change as long as women 'marry up.' Men won't change until we have a perspective on how powerless power makes us. A woman cannot help a man change until she has a perspective on how powerless power makes men.
Warren Farrell
If an employer had to pay a man one dollar for the same work a woman could do for 59 cents, why would anyone hire a man?
Warren Farrell
Sexual harassment legislation feels unfair to men because if they sued over an ethnic joke, or over a woman discussing pornography or asking them out, they'd be laughed out of the company.
Warren Farrell
In the past we believed both sexes were born with original sin. Today, we have come to unconsciously believe in the original sin of boys, but the original innocence of girls.
Warren Farrell
The problem with every judgment of sexual behavior is that it is made by people who aren't being stimulated as they are making the judgment. A jury that sees a woman in a sterile courtroom, asks her what she wanted, and then assumes that anything else she did was the responsibility of the man is insulting not only the woman but the power of sex.
Warren Farrell
The only men who aren't in fear of women's reactions are usually men who aren't born or who are dead.
