More From Warren Farrell

In ancient times, people weren't just male or female, but one of three types: male/male, male/female, female/female. in other words, each person was made out of the components of two people. everyone was happy with this arrangement and never really gave it much a thought. but then god took a knife and cut everybody in half, right down the middle. so after that the world was divided just into male and female, the upshot being that people spend their time running around trying to locate their missing other half.
Running Cutting Knives
As i looked more carefully at the listening matrix i saw that during the past twenty years we had taken a magnifying glass to the first of these four quadrants, the female experience of powerlessness. i saw i was subconsciously making a false assumption: the more deeply i understood women's experience of powerlessness, the more i assumed men had the power women did not have. in fact, what i was understanding was the female experience of male power.

Yes. the original argument is defective. substitute the word 'male' for 'gay,' and you'll see the flaw: 'male people cannot be normal. if everyone were male starting tomorrow, the human race would die out, so being male cannot be nature's intended way.' or you could substitute the word 'female.' in either case, the argument makes no sense: being male or female is perfectly normal.

Pornography reveals that male pleasure is inextricably tied to victimizing, hurting, exploiting; that sexual fun and sexual passion in the privacy of the male imagination are inseparable from the brutality of male history. the private world of sexual dominance that men demand as their right and their freedom is the mirror image of the public world of sadism and atrocity that men consistently and self-righteously deplore. it is in the male experience of pleasure that one finds the meaning of male history.
Hurt Fun Passion
Regardless of the business aspect of things, is there a reason that there isn't a female hitchcock or a female scorsese or a female spielberg? i don't know. i think it's a medium that really is built for the male gaze and for a male sensibility.
Thinking Males Female
Male makeup is men's titles, status and paying for dates. makeup is what both sexes use to bridge the gap between the power they have and the power they'd like to have. both male and female makeup are compensations for feelings of powerlessness.
