The bully who is healed is the best protection for the bullied. - Warren Farrell

When a man is attracted to a woman, being expected to take the sexual initiative does not increase his power, it increases his paralysis. The possibility of a lawsuit just intensifies the paralysis. Ironically, the more dangerous the waters, the more [telling dirty jokes] serves as a way of testing the waters: if she laughs, maybe she’s interested; if she looks disgusted, maybe she’s not. He would feel much more powerful if she took responsibility for testing the waters.

Boys who are not interested in school almost always have an interest that can be catalyzed into future employment if it is pursued via hands-on experience.

Helping women achieve higher pay is a core goal of this book.
