The Myth of Male Power - Warren Farrell - 10/19

Best-selling author and men's rights activist, Warren Farrell, gives an interview about his book, The Myth of Male Power.

A former director of the National Organisation for Women, Warren argues that society has been mislead by the feminist movement into perceiving women as victims of male oppression. He believes that the reverse is true; women have most of the rights and privileges whilst men are treated like 2nd-class citizens.

This interview is 3 hours and 17 minutes in length.

"anti feminist for life" - Verlch

[Verlch]

They won't realize they suck for another 20 or so years. None radicalized women are starting to wake up to the domestic terrorism called feminism.

@jtb78fx that is the result of divorce rates going up and the illegalization of prostitution.

Is it wrong for me to say that today's feminists are nothing more then ignorant, fascist, gold-digging whores? ^^

[DriveByEggThrow]

@jtb78fx Exactly, which means men's 'choice' too, is dictated by circumstances. Off to work men go. I wouldn't say a guy maintaining the sewers has a 'better job' compared to a secretary. Men (probably) only earn more in the 'elite' strata, therefore your feminist friends are only fighting for this sector but mything it all up - for everyone. Show me a middle/lower category job vacancy saying men get paid one rate and women another. It's a misrep that doesn't apply to you or me.

@rring88 Russia is now making a huge comeback! The Russia of today is far more free and prosperous than ever it was under communism. Sure, it may not be the big-player it used to be, relative to the rest of the world, but this is only due to the rise of Asia. Look, for example, at the incredible growth of the Chinese economy and its international prestige since it ditched communism and embraced the free-market; not to mention the massive increase in quality of life for its citizens.

@WizardKing78 lol, look at the two countries in 1917, Russia had 150 million people and 3 million factory workers. Russia was one of the poorest countries in the world. In 50 years, it had the second largest economy in the world and Germany had killed like 50 million Russians and destroyed a massive part of the country. I will not deny that the Soviet system was pretty bad, but after the SU, the people were far worse off.

[WizardKing78]

@rring88 No way. Look back and compare the quality-of-life of a US citizen vs that of a USSR prole. Communism is brutal and inefficient. There has never been a single example of a communist country where that is not true.

[rring88]

@WizardKing78 Look at Russia, after "Communism" fell, poverty went from like 1% to 40-50%+. Mens life expectancy fell by over 10 years. Workers deaths skyrocketed. Even the worst communism is better than capitalism.

In the UK men only get two weeks paternity leave compared to 52 weeks for women! That's a disgrace!

"The ideal of socialism is a command economy in which evrything is planned and run by the government."

Umm no, that wold be communism.
