Anyone farmiliar with warren farrell?

Ive just started reading some of his books and listening to some of his interviews. He pretty much puts into words exactly what my view is and adds more to it. His stance is that both male and female rights are important, but in order to successfully move forward we need combination of the two working together. Also leaning towards male rights with his support as he feels they are vastly underrepresented and need more attention.

Ive heard some people give his views a bad wrap (mostly feminists) and I'm curious as to how many escapists who frequent these kind of threads have heard of this guy. and what they think of his study's.

For those who don't here is a few links to get the general idea

I wasn't familiar with him at all until this thread, so I'm afraid I can't contribute much, but just so you know your OP gives an extremely bad first impression of him that clearly wasn't intended. When the only thing you tell us about him is that feminists give him a bad reputation, it's kind of inevitable people are going to assume he's some kind of severe misogynist or something.

Simply from going through the links you provided I can tell that's unfair, so you might want to reword it a little. From what I gather he is actually a feminist himself, a very active one in fact, but with some related views that some feminists disagree with. I don't know how correct those views really are, but there's some interesting points in there in areas that often aren't addressed.

What matters is that you understood his point, right? Let's not forget what a lot of people think when they hear "feminist".

To me anyone who uses reason to provoke irrational people is a good guy.

Ty for mentioning that This post was a quick one as I left this morning and certainly needed a bit more detail.
