Frasi di Warren Farrell
pagina 13

Warren Thomas Farrell è un educatore statunitense, autore di sette libri su tematiche di genere.

Negli anni 70 promosse il femminismo, entrando nel consiglio direttivo di NOW . Se ne dissociò quando il femminismo assunse posizioni che Farrell considerò anti-maschili ed anti-padre.



Iniziò a studiare i problemi degli uomini, pubblicando il libro «Il mito del potere maschile», in cui scrive «nel passato nessun sesso aveva il potere, entrambi avevano ruoli: il ruolo delle donne era crescere i figli, il ruolo degli uomini era procurare sostentamento». Farrell documenta come «il sesso sacrificabile» sia quello maschile, ad esempio mostrando come solo gli uomini sono tenuti al servizio militare o che il 93% dei morti sul lavoro sono uomini.

Nel successivo libro «Riunione padre-figlio» sostiene che i figli di genitori separati crescono più serenamente quando c'è un affido condiviso, quando i genitori vivono vicini, ed evitano comportamenti alienanti.

Nel libro «Perché gli uomini guadagnano di più» Warren Farrell sostiene che non si tratta di discriminazione, ma che le donne preferiscono dedicare più tempo alla famiglia che al lavoro rispetto agli uomini. A conferma di ciò mostra che le donne single senza figlio guadagnano il 13% in più degli uomini nella stessa condizione.

Oggi è considerato una delle figure principali del movimento per i diritti degli uomini e dei bambini.

Warren Farrell: Frasi in inglese

“Divorce laws have given women economic support after divorce; no laws have given men emotional support after divorce. Men are required to continue their obligations to their exes in the form of alimony or child support; women are not required to continue their obligation to their exes in the form of homemaking or nurturing.”

“If a man ignoring a woman’s verbal “no” is committing date rape, then a woman who says “no” with her verbal language but “yes” with her body language is committing date fraud. And a woman who continues to be sexual even after she says “no” is committing date lying.”

“The best-selling magazines to men are Playboy and Penthouse. These represent men’s primary fantasy: access to as many beautiful women as desired without risk of rejection. The best-selling magazines to women are Better Homes and Gardens and Family Circle, representing the female primary fantasy: better homes and gardens and a family circle.”

“The Industrial Revolution, then, took men’s occasional absence from home -- previously needed only in wartime and for hunting -- and made it the norm. This increasing division of labor magnified the division of men’s and women’s interests. It magnified the belief in the maternal instinct and the reality of the distant father. Prior to industrialization, divorces usually led to children living with dads. Not after.”

“Gay sex meant two hours of sexual pleasure in exchange for two hours of sexual pleasure. Heterosexual sex meant two hours of sexual pleasure in exchange for a lifetime of responsibility. Heterosexuality was a bad deal! The fear behind homophobia was that no one would be providing for the next generation. Everybody would be having fun. Thus fun became a sign of immaturity; hedonism in many forms became illegal.”

“When I was doing a book tour in Japan for Why Men Are The Way They Are, I was told of an institution called the snack. The snack works like this: A man is coming home from work, and has had a bad day. He doesn’t feel that his wife wants to hear about it, so he pays between $50 and $80 for a snack —a sandwich and a drink and an attractive woman who will listen empathetically to him—sort of a beautiful psychologist with refreshments. No men need apply.”

“The most unacknowledged spending expectation among women is the amount of time spent by single mothers caring for children, not only physically, but psychologically. It is my feeling that only a small percentage of a mother’s time is normally compensated for by child support, given what a woman could make adding these hours to workforce hours… It is why women who have never been married and never had children earn so much more in the workplace than women who have had children.”

No. The women were seen as getting the short end of the stick because they were stuck with factory and street-cleaner positions the men weren’t around to do.”
