Frasi di Warren Farrell

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

“When we don't take years of experience into account, it is easy for a woman to become discouraged when she reads headlines such as 'Study of TV News Directors Finds Discrimination Against Women.' When a woman in the mid-1980's read that TV news directors who were women got paid about 27% less than men directors, it might have made her avoid the field… If, on the other hand, a headline more accurately reflecting the study's core findings, read 'Female Managers Become TV News Directors Three Times as Quickly as Men,' well, that would have made a woman feel wanted… In brief, the road to higher pay is a toll road. But at this point in history, there are female tollbooths and male tollbooths, and the toll charged to women is lower. This should encourage every woman who wishes to embark on the road to higher pay to take it while the tolls are still low, and every man who wishes to be with his children--or just wishes to support the career-focused woman he loves--to be aware that there was never a better time to be a great dad and go with your wife's flow.”

“Here’s the pay paradox that Why Men Earn More explains: Men earn more money, therefore men have more power; and men earn more money, therefore men have less power (earning more money as an obligation, not an option). The opposite is true for women: Women earn less money, therefore women have less power; and women earn less money, therefore women have more power”

“As feminism made this transition from equal opportunity to unequal opportunism, I made my transition from supporter to critic. But in my inner psyche, there was no transition: I went from supporter of equality to supporter of equality.”

“Since 1954, then, approximately 70,000 women have murdered; their victims include about 60,000 men, but, as we saw in the second Item of this chapter, not one woman has been executed after killing only a man. For nearly four decades now, we have become increasingly protective of women and decreasingly protective of men—even if that boy is a legal minor, as was Heath Wilkins.”

“There is virtually no funding to study the validity of the more muted complaints of men: to study when a false accusation is being used as a weapon to keep the children from dad; or when the child is being bad-mouthed by the other parent; or when access to the child is being prevented; or when statistics about deadbeat dads are including men who are dead, unemployed, or denied their children; or when men are victims of domestic violence.”

“The more chauvinist the country, the more it protects women. And therefore the more it limits women. Like the United States, [Italy, Spain, and Denmark] give women options without obligations. These countries are, therefore, still male chauvinist… The degree to which a country is emancipated is the degree to which it frees men from the obligation to protect women and socializes women to equally protect men.”

Origine: The Myth of Male Power (1993), Part II: The Glass Cellars of the disposable sex, p. 136.

“Women do not enter a profession in significant numbers until it is physically safe. So until we care enough about men’s safety to turn the death professions into safe professions, we in effect discriminate against women. But when we overprotect women—and only women—it also leads to discrimination against women. …If [an employer works] for a large company for which quotas prevent discrimination, they find themselves increasingly hiring free-lancers rather than taking on a woman and therefore a possible sexual harassment lawsuit…”
