More From Warren Farrell

Here the oppression of women is very subtle. if we take female circumcision, the excision of the clitoris, it is done physically in egypt. but here it is done psychologically and by education. so even if women have the clitoris, the clitoris was banned; it was removed by freudian theory and by the mainstream culture.
Egypt Mainstream Culture Female
In ancient times, people weren't just male or female, but one of three types: male/male, male/female, female/female. in other words, each person was made out of the components of two people. everyone was happy with this arrangement and never really gave it much a thought. but then god took a knife and cut everybody in half, right down the middle. so after that the world was divided just into male and female, the upshot being that people spend their time running around trying to locate their missing other half.

In some parts of the world, that sex selection for boys - and it's usually for boys - reflects sex discrimination against girls, and it leads to very large imbalances - in china, in korea, in india - in the population between boys and girls, a vast disproportion of boys to girls, and it reflects really this discriminatory attitude toward girls.

I always say there's no more little girls, just boys with breasts. girls act like boys nowadays. teenage girls, they go after boys. they're predatory just like boys. my goal is to keep my girls, girls.

Yes. the original argument is defective. substitute the word 'male' for 'gay,' and you'll see the flaw: 'male people cannot be normal. if everyone were male starting tomorrow, the human race would die out, so being male cannot be nature's intended way.' or you could substitute the word 'female.' in either case, the argument makes no sense: being male or female is perfectly normal.

Boys are different from girls, but boys are also different from other boys, just as girls are different from other girls. calling a book “for boys” or “for girls” is well-meaning, but to me, not terribly helpful.

Similar Quotes
Working-girls, in pairs and groups and swarms, loitered by these windows, choosing their future boudoirs from some resplendent display which included even a man's silk pajamas laid domestically across the bed. they stood in front of the jewelry stores and picked out their engagement rings, and their wedding rings and their platinum wrist watches, and then drifted on to inspect the feather fans and opera cloaks; meanwhile digesting the sandwiches and sundaes they had eaten for lunch.

It was something of a mystery how a couple of teenage girls had managed to escape detection for two years, especially when one of them was a privileged moroi princess and the other a delinquent dhampir with a disciplinary file so long that it broke school records.

I've always been the girl the kids in school would be like, 'what is she wearing?' then eventually some trends would stick.
