so that I can live.

Both sexes in the

area where they are rejected

tend to turn what rejects them

into an object.

So the area where men...

I'm watching this, um, lecture

that Warren Farrell's

gave in the '90s.

I see some women in the crowd,

and a lot of them

have their hands folded,

and there is a little bit of...

Uncomfortableness...

By being a woman

in a crowd of people

while the speaker's talking

about how men are oppressed

and women have it so great.

It kinda puts you

on the defensive, as a woman.

And understanding

that I feel that way

makes me wonder

are men having

their arms crossed

listening to a feminist speaker

talk about how men

have all the power

and women are oppressed?

Are men feeling like,

"what are you talking about?

I don't have power,

and we have it pretty shitty

on this side of the grass, too"?

Women hold up half the sky!

Women hold up half the sky!

Women hold up half the sky!

Women hold up half the sky!

F*** Warren Farrell!

F*** Warren Farrell!

F*** Warren Farrell!

F*** Warren Farrell!

F*** Warren Farrell!

F*** Warren Farrell!

F*** Warren Farrell!

In 2012, Dr. Warren Farrell

was speaking on behalf

of men's issues

at the university

of Toronto in Canada.

A feminist group

protested the event.

be f***ing

ashamed of yourself.

You're f***ing scum.

You are f***ing scum.

F***ing rape apologist,

incest-supporting,

woman-hating f***ing scum.

You're f***ing scum.

Yeah, just another...

You know what, though?

Why would you pay money

to f***ing support

a f***ing rape apologist

if you weren't f***ing one?

I never heard him saying...

Well, it...

F***ing scum!

Who do you serve?

Who do you protect?

Who do you serve?

Who do you protect?

No! F***!

They're f***ing scum!

F*** you!

F*** you!

Get a real f***ing job.

Get out of here.

- Hi. How are you?

- Warren, I'm Cassie.

You' re Cassie? Oh, for some

reason I thought you were a male.

I'm just delighted

that you're a female.

Well, thank you.

Very glad to meet you.

Come on in.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

But Farrell wasn't

always so attentive to men.

In fact, for years, he focused almost

exclusively on women's issues,

rubbing shoulders

with feminist leaders

like Gloria Steinem.

And he's still

a card-carrying member

of the national

organization for women.

I believe that women cannot hear

what men do not say.

And he's got a lot

to say to both men and women

in his provocative new book,

"the myth of male power."

I was making a very significant

amount of money

speaking around the world

on behalf

of women's issues alone.

I went through a period

of forming men's groups.

And then

when I listened to them,

I thought, "well, gee,

this will be really helpful

to present to audiences

so that they can understand

not only women's side,

but men's side, too,

'cause I was really totally

in the feminist's camp.

And immediately I saw

my standing ovations drop.

I started hearing

that there was people saying,

"don't invite him there

to speak with us."

And pretty soon I had, you know,

very few college and university

speaking engagements.

How did you originally

get involved with feminism?

Where did that all begin?

I was doing my doctorate

at political science at NYU

in the late '60s,

and the women's

movement surfaced.

And I started to say,

"this is the most exciting

thing I've ever heard."

Because I'd heard

of civil rights, gay rights,

but suddenly women were saying,

"I don't wanna be confined

to just being

a homemaker, a secretary."

So it's like, "why shouldn't

women be encouraged

to do everything

they possibly can do?"

And at that point in time,

I saw a lot of women

marrying men

that they weren't

completely in love with,

but the man earned

a fair amount.

So I thought, that's just

a form of prostitution

extended over a lifetime.

How depressed

that must make a woman.

And it's not gonna

be good for a man either.

He never knows whether

he's loved for who he is

or loved for what he has.

And he's afraid

to give up producing

because he's afraid

to lose love.

And so women

who were successful to me

appeared to be women

who would free men

from having to be all, you know,

wrapped up in just

being the only bread winner,

and supporting one, two,

three, four, five people.

It's one thing

to support yourself.

When you're supporting

five people,

you don't have the freedom

to question your boss,

because you're

supporting five people.

The first issue of feminism

was to say,

"just because I'm a woman,

maybe I don't wanna spend

my life raising children."

You know, "don't force me into

that role against my will."

So they looked at men and said,

"well, you're not forced

to raise children.

You don't have any issue.

But for men,

the traditional sex role

was not raising children.

For us, the traditional sex role

was to be a provider,

a protector,

and to initiate relationships.

Each of us

has traditional sex roles.

Don't force us to carry out

those traditional sex roles.

We have the same rules

set up for men

that they've always lived by,

that you need to protect

and provide at any cost.

But we've changed everything

where it concerns women.

They now have access

to everything men

have always had access to...

To education, to work,

to whatever they want to do,

but they're not the ones

driving the semis

and they're not the ones

in the coal mines.

You don't hear the national

organization for women

complaining that there is just

not enough female ditch diggers.

It is still men

carrying the lion's share

for what it takes to operate

and maintain this society,

and it is still the expectation

that if somebody's

gonna go down with the ship,

it's gonna be men.

Flexibility in roles is where

we should be all headed.

Any men's rights activists

that I would support

would support the portions

of the women's movement

that is encouraging women

to have more

flexibility in roles.

So where do the men's movement

and feminism disagree?

Well, only on

the fundamental belief

that the women's movement

says men are the oppressors,

that they... we are involved

in a patriarchal world

in which men invented

the rules to benefit men

at the expense of women.

But don't we

live in a patriarchy,

when most of the world's nations

still have never had

a female leader...

And less than 5% of CEOs

of fortune 500 companies

are women?

You have to look at this

in a larger perspective.

Patriarchy is the result

of gender roles

and not the vice versa.

Traditionally, women's

power and responsibility

has been in

the reproductive sphere,

while men's power

and responsibility
