In reply to the discussion: The Myth of Male Power - Warren Farrell [View all]Major Nikon
(36,827 posts)42. I think you're going to have a bit tougher job if you want to try to impeach Warren Farrell
Warren Farrell was asked by NOW to form a men's group within that organization, served on the executive board of NOW for years, and has a very long and distinguished career teaching and authoring on the subject of feminism. You'd be hard pressed to find someone with as many credentials as he has in advocating for both men and women's rights.
