Fact Checking Warren Farrell: No, Jodie Foster wasn’t “cashing in on her sex appeal” at age 4

By David Futrelle So I’ve been rereading Warren Farrell lately and, as always, it’s been a bit of a surreal experience.

Warren Farrell: Men Are Oppressed by Women's Butts

Yesterday Warren Farrell – the intellectual grandfather of the Men’s Rights movement, the man who single-handedly came up with probably half of the terrible arguments that are endlessly rehashed daily in the manosphere – went to Reddit and proclaimed “ask me anything!” And so we, and a lot of other people, did.

The Myth of Warren Farrell: Farrell on Rape, Part One

No book has had more influence over the Men’s Rights movement than Warren Farrell’s The Myth of Male Power. Published in 1993, in the heyday of the early 90s antifeminist backlash, it set the agenda for the Men’s Rights movement as it’s developed over the last two decades.  He’s the one who came up with…
