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.

No movement calls [migrant workers] oppressed for providing money for women from whom they are receiving neither cooking nor cleaning for providing their wives with homes while they sleep on the ground.
Warren Farrell
Feminism justified female victim power by convincing the world that we lived in a sexist, male-dominated, and patriarchal world.
Warren Farrell
Just as the Depression left a generation of dads feeling they never had enough money, so father deprivation is leaving a generation of sons and daughters with different psychic wounds.
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
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

The key to wealth is not what we earn. It is in what is spent on us.
Warren Farrell
When we look at the pay of men and women who do work equal hours, two discoveries are quite astonishing: --When women and men work less than 40 hours a week, the women earn more than the men --When men and women work more than 40, the men earn more than the women.
