„Die Herausforderung besteht darin, über den Feminismus hinauszugehen, ohne seine Errungenschaften herabzusetzen.“

Warren Farrell

„Mythos Männermacht“, 1995, S. 22

„Die privilegierteste Gruppe, die es je in der Geschichte gab, ist die weiße Amerikanerin der Mittelklasse.“

Warren Farrell

„Mythos Männermacht“, 1995

„Gesetze und religiöse Regeln gaben einer Frau fast immer elementare Sicherheit, auch wenn ein Mann die Scheidung wollte. Das Scheidungsverbot galt als „Gottes Wille“ („Was Gott verbunden hat, das soll der Mensch nicht trennen.“), und damit hatten Frauen eine unanfechtbare Garantie. Die Ehe-als-Sakrament war das weibliche „göttliche Recht“.“

Warren Farrell

„Mythos Männermacht“, 1995, S. 112

„Warum haben weibliche Gottheiten die Gewalt gegen Männer gesegnet? Weil der eigentliche Zweck dieser Gewalt darin bestand, Gewalt gegen Frauen zu verhindern.“

Warren Farrell

„Mythos Männermacht“, 1995, S. 95

„Wenn Männer sieben Jahre länger leben würden als Frauen, hätten uns Feministen längst klargemacht, dass die Lebenserwartung der beste Indikator ist, an dem sich ablesen läßt, wer die Macht hat. Und damit hätten sie recht.“

Warren Farrell

„Mythos Männermacht“, 1995, S. 40

“Ralph had lost real power by trying to gain the appearance of power. He was a leader. But he was following a program for leaders; therefore, he was a follower… he was, as he put it, a high-level mediocre.”

“[M]en who work to make it as computer whizzes or owners of black Porsches[…] are confused when they're told they are not vulnerable enough. We can't fall in love with men who appear invulnerable and expect vulnerability. Why did he want a black Porsche? Because he never saw an ugly woman get out of one.”

“For thousands of years women chose men based on their ability to provide. The more women increase their mastery of the workplace, the more they open themselves to partnership with a new type of man. It is my hope that Part One has begun a paradigm shift in the way we view men. As we saw women doing financially better than men in male-dominated professions, it hopefully offers a more generous view of the male attitude toward women in the workplace. As we contemplate making sacrifices to earn more, it is my hope we appreciate the sacrifices men have made to nurture the family by being their family's 'financial womb.”

“During the past thirty years, the women’s movement has supported women to express virtually every feeling women felt. To other women. To Men. To society. Women’s feelings became course curriculum, women’s studies, TV specials, talk shows, and Lifetime cable. Women’s feelings were called both education and entertainment. Men’s were repressed until they were called ulcers.”

“As females enter the workplace, will our tendency to protect women create rules that will also protect men? Yes and no. Yes, when, for example, the new concern for doctors working fewer than eighty hours per week also affects men. No, when working-class jobs get divided into the males taking the hazardous jobs… and women taking safer jobs. And in professional careers, if males take irregular hours and specialties such as surgery, while females take regular hours and specialties like psychiatry, then we will only reinforce the female-protected class and the male-disposable class.”

“Is a man’s body at stake? Any time a man is asked to work to pay child support, he is using his body, his time, his life -- not for nine months, but for a minimum of 18 to 21 years. So the motto of the feminist with integrity is, “It’s a woman’s and man’s right to choose because it is a woman’s and man’s body at stake.””

“Sexually, of course, the sexes aren’t equal. It is exactly a woman’s greater sexual power that often makes a man so fearful of being rejected by her that he buys himself drinks to reduce his fear. In essence, her sexual power often leads to him drinking; his sexual power rarely leads to her drinking. If anything is evidence of her power over him, it is his being expected to spend his money to buy her drinks without her reciprocating.”

“The United States follows the pattern of men taking the financial risks even within a given field. Women physicians are three times as likely as men to work for the government or an HMO; men physicians are much more likely to be self-employed in a solo practice.”

“In brief, sending a father-deprived child into the world and assuming everything is okay because the dad provides money is like sending a drunken driver onto the highway and assuming everything is okay because the gas is paid for. It doesn’t mean that the drunken driver will not get to his or her destination. It just means that the risks are enormous. And the consequences of failure are forever.”

“People who get higher pay are more willing to relocate--especially to undesirable locations at the company's behest… A corporate secretary may change companies in the same town; a corporate executive is more likely to change towns with the same company. A talented corporate secretary sees an invitation to relocate as an invitation; a future corporate executive sees an invitation to relocate as an opportunity--and an obligation.”

“Single women often fear that the men they are going out with wouldn't be comfortable with less career and more child. Perhaps. If a woman selects a man with a lot of career ambition, she'll get what she selected. The solution? Choose among men who would love to be married to a career woman who valued his being home full-time with the children for a few years. Can't find these men? State your interest on your Match. com profile--the Internet's the best net to catch the right fish. You'll be surprised.”

“When mining… and other death professions are discussed in feminist publications, they are portrayed as examples of the male power system, as male-only clubs. However, when Ms. Magazine profiled female miners, the emphasis was on how the woman was ‘forced’ to take a job in the mines because it paid the best, and how taking such a job was the only way she could support her family.”

“If we penalize mothers for denial of “visitation time” we must also penalize fathers who don’t show up for “visitation time.” The issue is not fathers’ rights to visitation time, but both parents obligations to their children. The issue is how to make both parents real parents despite what parenting was never designed to deal with -- divorce.”

“The one-sided funding creates one-sided images that reinforce the press defining as progress an examination of only women’s issues. Thus, a quarter century’s-worth of studies showing domestic violence against men to be more than equal to domestic violence against women receive so little publicity as to barely make a dent on the public’s consciousness.”
