Ideally there should not be a men's movement but a gender transition movement; only the power of the women's movement necessitates the temporary corrective of a men's movement. and this creates a special challenge for men: there are few political movements filled with healthy people, yet few healthy changes have occurred without political movements.

More From Warren Farrell

I am a men's liberationist (or "masculist") when men's liberation is defined as equal opportunity and equal responsibility for both sexes. i am a feminist when feminism favors equal opportunities and responsibilities for both sexes. i oppose both movements when either says our sex is the oppressed sex, therefore, "we deserve rights." that's not gender liberation but gender entitlement. ultimately, i am in favor of neither a women's movement nor a men's movement but a gender transition movement.
Sex Responsibility Opportunity
What's more important is that we talk about movements; change happens through movements. the movement to end slavery, the movement to bring justice for those who have been left out of the system, movements to include women, movements around sexual preference - all these movements brought about change.

We should not be content to say that power has a need for such-and-such a discovery, such-and-such a form of knowledge, but we should add that the exercise of power itself creates and causes to emerge new objects of knowledge and accumulates new bodies of information. ... the exercise of power perpetually creates knowledge and, conversely, knowledge constantly induces effects of power. ... it is not possible for power to be exercised without knowledge, it is impossible for knowledge not to engender power.

It's weird as actors because i mean we're fortunate in the group of people who have to spend time away from their families. there are men and women serving overseas who certainly have it a lot harder than we do, and there are jobs that take people away from the families, and that's a reality with some jobs that you have. one thing that's really difficult i find is the transition, because not only do you have to learn how to transition to living on your own again, there's a transition that happens learning how to live with somebody again.
Jobs Mean Reality
There may be countries [where] there's no gender inequality in schooling, even in higher education, but [where there is] gender inequality in high business. japan is a very good example of that. you might find cases in the united states where at one level women's equality has progressed tremendously. you don't have the kind of problem of higher women's mortality as you see in south asia, north africa, and east asia, china, too, and yet for american women there are some fields in which equality hasn't yet come.

When the irishman is found outside of ireland in another environment, he very often becomes a respected man. the economic and intellectual conditions that prevail in his own country do not permit the development of individuality. no one who has any self-respect stays in ireland, but flees afar as though from a country that has undergone the visitation of an angered jove.
Country Men Self
Every movement that seeks to enslave a country, every dictatorship or potential dictatorship, needs some minority group as a scapegoat which it can blame for the nation's troubles and use as a justification of its own demands for dictatorial powers. in soviet russia, the scapegoat was the bourgeoisie; in nazi germany, it was the jewish people; in america, it is the businessmen.
