The Myth of Male Power - Warren Farrell - 9/19

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.

Professions that women flood too, are because they drive down the wages. Have less stress, closer to home, and not dangerous.

Protection by a priest with out the sexual demands? Dose this guy know how much women can demand sex from men? So many marriages screw up due to unsatisfied women.

@TheLordmep "Either Warren Farrell has notes sitting in front of him or he's a freaking genius."

Watch Warren Farrell's CATO talk on "Why Men Earn More," in it he is largely speaking *without* any notes, especially in the Q&A session. The man is extremely well read, thoughtful, reflective, and practiced in this, and this is only the tip of the iceberg. His advice on how to help men and women converse and better understand one another is phenomenal.

@GOLIATHdominates "Some of this is ridiculous... I WANT to be a construction foreman -- it's my ambition."

Your wanting it is only one of the many factors and actually reinforces the very point Warren Farrell is making. I wanted to join the military, but that doesn't change the male socialization and risk factors that socialization made more acceptable or appealing to me and other males. Read or watch Joseph Campell's work on the Power of Myth and relate it to what Farrell is saying here.

@jtb78fx Most men will look once because looking twice is creepy. Men classify average women as attractive, even if most of them do not have the courage to aproach them. Women classify 80% of men as bellow average.

Some of this is ridiculous... I WANT to be a construction foreman -- it's my ambition.

Either Warren Farrell has notes sitting in front of him or he's a freaking genius. I write short stories and even I can't be expected to recite my entire stories off the top of my head.

The greatest threat to the planet is climate change, not nuclear weapons.

@jtb78fx But if we are truly equal then why are the majority of men in those "death" professions.

[jtb78fx]

I agree that men have the worst job but the hazardous jobs for men go hand in hand with the better physical capabilities. It's as if you decry the situation of men not giving birth to a child. Anatomy is the secret.

The garbage men ( 8:00 ) is invisible to women,aha. If I told him about the legions of boys who don't bother looking twice when a girl is average looking...

Personal contact jobs are often more stressful than jobs you do on your own due to psychological stress 5:55 )
