This is a talk given my Dr. Warren Farrel at the Cato (www.cato.org) institute on Tuesday, February 1, 2005 entitled:

Why Men Earn More

A presentation from his book of the same name

Cato offers the real video stream of the lecture I have captured here on this events page:

Synopsis:
Warren Farrell, the only man to have been elected three times to the National Organization for Womens New York board of directors, is the author of such books as The Myth of Male Power and Why Men Are the Way They Are. In his new book, he argues that women earn less than men on average not because they are discriminated against, but because they have made lifestyle choices that affect their ability to earn. Why Men Earn More argues that although discrimination sometimes plays a part, both men and women unconsciously make trade-offs that affect how much they earn. Farrell clearly defines the 25 different workplace choices that affect incomes--including putting in more hours at work, taking riskier jobs or more hazardous assignments, being willing to change location, and training for technical jobs that involve less people contact--and provides readers with specific, research-supported ways for women to earn higher pay.

So people who claim that he is some anti female vile hater are completely out to lunch, they are projecting and they are the haters, Warren Farrell is a kind man.

See this quote from an amazon reviewer of his "why men earn more book".

 "Don't waste your money on this pathetic trash. The author has one agenda: to bash women and make fellow insecure males feel great and manly about their obvious misogyny and small-mindedness."

[ArgusEyes]

I find the works of Warren Farrell to be very female friendly, for example in the myth of male power he cites how he hopes to make women love their fathers and husbands more by understanding them and in the wage gap he is always recommending how women can take advantage of their status to earn more money. He used to be on the board of directors for N.O.W. after all.

All this smacks of running up against natural psychological limits. We can warp instinct but not break it, and instinct is akin to memory-plastic: it returns to its original shape when left alone.

Eureka! THAT is the recipe of female hypocrites: Treat a man like sh*t and with complete contempt and disrespect and then blame him for feeling insecure. never thought about it like this before.

wow, Dr. Farrel impresses me again! I would have just said, "you women need to change your understanding about men. Stop demanding the opposite all the time!"

lol 4:20 funny how his name is David. He sounds exactly like David Gilmour

[smedheat]

women are often whores and men are generally not attracted to women unless they are whores

[rtardbox]

the 65 year old english man is very poorly spoken but completely correct!

men need to start making choices that are good for them - despite whether women concur with those choices or not. and p/s modern-day marriage is a joke

[mrshutter77]

He makes very good points & dispells allot of myth that Feminazis alwasy try to perpetuate, but he sounds so wussish-Wussy Wussy-& his "chaning expectations" idea is not realistic becuase it will go against Human Nature!Women by nature are attracted to men who make more than they do & offer something more than they have to offer. They look for a man to solve thier problems one wya or another-even if they may not admit it!-When a man loses what he can offer-he loses attraction-It's evolution!

[acadiantunes]

So true.
