Warren Farrell quotes about
empowering feminism fine hone opponent portions supporter women
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.
human men
Men are not human beings,they are human doings
companies higher men offered starting study women
Companies like I.B.M. have offered women scholarships to study engineering for years, and women engineers routinely get higher starting salaries than men.
bigger creating problem reason ridiculous
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.
bad covering handling news pay price
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.
billion buy clothing cosmetics high oppressed spends watches women worth
Women are the only 'oppressed' group that is able to buy most of the $10 billion worth of cosmetics each year; the only oppressed group that spends more on high fashion, brand-name clothing than its oppressors; the only oppressed group that watches more TV.
commitment independence marrying
When women hold off from marrying men, we call it independence. When men hold off from marrying women, we call it fear of commitment.
mom children dad
In a sense, in the area of child care, children's relationships with parents' working has come full circle. We have gone from the mom-and-pop store (or mom-and-pop farm), with its integration of child care and work, to children-at-home and dad-at-work; to the mom-plus-daddy working at home, with its integration of childcare and work again. From mom-and-pop back to mom-and-pop.
sex men example
For example, the equivalent of a woman being treated as a sex object is a man being treated as a success object.
definitions earning males
I define power as control over ones life. A balanced life is far superior to the male definition of power: earning money someone else spends while he dies sooner.
children divorce parent
Raising children was not designed for single parents. (Which is why divorce was such a taboo prior to birth control).
children sleep dark
The money men make from their willingness to work the least desirable hours is not a sign of discrimination against women, but a sign of the willingness of mostly married men to lose sleep to support the family as their wife loses sleep to feed the child. A willingness to do the uncomfortable shifts is one reason married men earn more than twice what never-married men earn. Men's contribution, made at night, need not be lost in the dark.
divorce boxing legal-system
Asking the legal system to resolve divorce is like asking a boxing coach to be our marriage counselor.
sex interest powerlessness
It is in the interests of both sexes to hear the other sex's experience of powerlessness.
