Quotes by Warren Farrell

“Men are not human beings,they are human doings”

When women hold off from marrying men, we call it independence. When men hold off from marrying women, we call it fear of commitment.

It is in the interests of both sexes to hear the other sexs experience of powerlessness.

I am a mens liberationist (or masculist) when mens liberation is defined as equal opportunity and equal responsibility for both sexes. I am a feminist when feminism favors equal opportunities and responsibilities for both sexes. I oppose both movements when either says our sex is THE oppressed sex, therefore, we deserve rights. Thats not gender liberation but gender entitlement. Ultimately, I am in favor of neither a womens movement nor a mens movement but a gender transition movement.

Men’s greatest weakness is their facade of strength, and women’s greatest strength is their facade of weakness.

Women and men look at their life, and women say, What do I need? Do I need more money, or do I need more time? And women are intelligent enough to say, I need more time. And so, women lead balanced lives; men should be learning from women.

All womens issues are to some degree mens issues and all mens issues are to some degree womens issues because when either sex wins unilaterally both sexes lose.

If women had to promise to provide for a man for a lifetime before he removed his veil and showed her his smile, would we think of this as a system of female privilege?

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.

For blacks in our society, victimization may be a true issue. But it isnt a true issue for women. Neither men nor women are victimized. The true issue, that I try to point out, is that both sexes suffer restricted roles.

In our society, the sound of men complaining is like nails on a chalkboard.

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.
