Feminists who say that I switched sides because I am an opportunist should know that exactly the opposite is true. It’s cost me a lot of money. I’ve gone from being well-to-do to being $70,000 in debt. I have done something self-destructive financially. I could only do it because I don’t have to support a wife and child. – Warren Farrell
Men are often a lot less vindictive than women are, because we are rejected constantly every day. – Warren Farrell

Those who call me an opportunist are following the old rule: If you can’t attack the data, attack the person. – Warren Farrell
Men rarely worry about using or being used because all relationships work that way. A man perceives himself as owning and being owned by a woman. ‘Use’ is a dirty word only when there’s an imbalance in the relationship. – Warren Farrell

Now, since I’m a husband and father, discrimination against women isn’t just political, it’s personal. – Warren Farrell
A man’s primary fantasy is access to a variety of attractive women without the fear of rejection. – Warren Farrell
