this is why I dont like Dr.Farrell his crux is to blame men for the change within society, where really man had no choice. If he would have done anything he would have been considered Violent and this is the main strategy the governments have always used by the use of lethal force or incarceration. His statement is no better than Feminism itself, especially as he himself comes from a councilling background that is appauling. I dont know why he is held up as a God of the MRM he is nothing special
