All women's issues are to some degree men's issues and all men's issues are to some degree women's issues because when either sex wins unilaterally both sexes lose. Warren Farrell And the reason that is ridiculous is because if you're approaching a problem with a lose-lose situation, you're creating a bigger and bigger problem. Warren Farrell And then in 1956 or 1957 my family went over to Europe and I moved over with them, and immediately people in Europe thought my perspective on that issue was 100% correct. Warren Farrell And we reduce almost all male-female problems by working on both the female and the male. And that usually means having both sexes take responsibility. Warren Farrell And with the rape, I was showing why the rape statistics are exaggerated, and saying that date rape was much more complex than the way feminists had portrayed it, as men oppressing women. Warren Farrell Feminists have confused opportunity with outcome. Warren Farrell For example, the equivalent of a woman being treated as a sex object is a man being treated as a success object. Warren Farrell I don't think there's anything that is a greater area of discrimination against women today than the fact that nowhere in the world is there a female role model in team sports that more than half of a general audience would recognize. Warren Farrell I started to get very well recognized in the early seventies as the only man in the United States who had been elected three times to the board of NOW in New York City. Warren Farrell I'm a 100% supporter of the portions of feminism that are empowering to women and a 100% opponent of the portions that hone victimhood as a fine art.

Warren Farrell It evolved from my experience in the fifties, growing up during the McCarthy era, and hearing a lot of assumptions that America was wonderful and Communism was terrible. Warren Farrell Men are often a lot less vindictive than women are, because we are rejected constantly every day. Warren Farrell Men don't oppress women any more than women oppress men. Warren Farrell Men's competitive team sports focus on the balance between individual achievement and team achievement with the emphasis on team achievement. Warren Farrell Nobody really believes in equality anyway. Warren Farrell One can make a case that says that since 85% of children being brought up in single family homes are being brought up by women that about 85% of elementary school teachers should be males to balance out the feminization that the boys and girls receive. Warren Farrell Our main reasons for fearing males having sex with males is that you really had to construct a more powerful social role to keep men in their place than you did to keep women in their place. Warren Farrell So we've moved from an era when women's biology was women's destiny to today, which is an era in which men's biology is men's destiny. Warren Farrell The bad news is that we pay a price for that handling of rejection, which is the covering up of our sensitivities and the discounting of our feelings. Warren Farrell The Myth of Male Power dealt much more with the political issues, the legal issues, sexual harassment, date rape, women who kill, and those issues were very much more interfaced with the agendas of feminism. 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. 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 When a man is able to connect with his feelings, he is able to care more. Warren Farrell When women hold off from marrying men, we call it independence. When men hold off from marrying women, we call it fear of commitment. Warren Farrell You could make a case that women addicted men to their sexuality and then withdrew their sexuality until we provided them with a source of income. Warren Farrell
