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.

“When a dad admits he is wrong or asks for help, he allows the child to see him- or herself as adequate even when she or he is also wrong. It encourages children to make suggestions and, therefore, to discover their creativity because they have a chance of making a contribution.”

Father and Child Reunion (2001)

“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.”

“We need to fund relationship language in our schools so that future parents will know how to communicate about whether they want children; to communicate with the children they have, and teach their children how to communicate with the world. Technical progress without social skills is a Tower of Babel.”

“Women’s genetic celebrity power magnifies men’s protector instinct. It inspires the government-as-substitute-husband. Men’s addiction to the genetic celebrity is either invisible or in the denial stage—thus we either don’t see it, or when confronted, deny it.”

“If there is one quality that I find is more essential to a successful and happy life than any other, it is empathy. It is at the core of family stability and love. I’ve never had a couple come to me and say, “I want a divorce; my partner understands me.””

“[H]umans tend to start the process of change by acknowledging themselves—thus blacks asserted black pride and black is beautiful; women declared I am woman, I am strong; men are saying I am man, I am okay. After a quarter of a century of male bashing, that’s not a bad start.”

“Most women’s ideal is to not be sexual until nine conditions are met: physical attraction; respect; emotional compatibility; intelligence; singleness; success (or potential ); being asked out; being paid for; and the man risking rejection by initiating the first kiss…. Men want sex as long as only one condition is met—physical attraction.”

“Both sexes work on their lines before they appear onstage. His lines are a lifetime of work; her introductory 'line' is her appearance--or her lack of lines. Just as careers give men power, so beauty gives women power. But just as the comparison between herself and the most beautiful women makes a woman feel powerless, so the comparison between himself and the most successful men makes a man feel powerless.”

“Our love for children is so immediate in part because we feel their powerlessness immediately; conversely, part of the way we deny our love for men is by denying men’s powerlessness. Too often we have confused love for men with respect for them, especially for their power to take care of us---which is really just love for ourselves.”

“Men’s immediate path from the Insanity Track to the Sanity Track is in demanding that both sexes have the freedom to strike a balance between homeplace and workplace. Men must expect their wives to financially support them to be fathers as much as they now financially support their wives to be mothers. Women must have our approval to marry the warrior of love rather than the warrior of money.”
