Warren Farell feminist since the 70s and 3 times head of now advocates incest. Is it safe to assume that male?

Question

and female feminists alike display a lot of negative and unamerican ideas and attributes ?

or to put it simply that they are m*ss*d up in the head big time ?

Why should he be any more ousted than Gloria Steinham or Andrea Dworkin ?

Was voted to the board not president of now. 3 times.

Look up his vita he was voted 3 times in a row in the board of now.

Answer 1

It was a misquote. He said gently touching. They printed it as genitally touching. He has said it was a misquote a number of times.

I don't think it is fair for detractors of male feminists to keep saying this as it is obviously not what he meant.

Answer 2

I genuinely want to understand your point of view.

But I am trying to find LEGITIMATE proof that Warren Farrell was ever associated with NOW. I cannot find it. I can find a great deal of information quoting him saying that he was elected three times to the board, and I can find *him* saying he was, but I cannot find a single source that links him to NOW. I'm sure it exists somewhere if he is telling the truth, I just can't find it. Please post such a link. He is not part of the NOW database, and you'd think he would be if he was.

There is, however, also a great deal of information about his views on incest, and it's always the mother's or daughter's fault.

Also see this: "Warren Farrell has no business speaking about women and children. Despite the way he waves around his allegedly feminist credentials, such as his stint on the board of the New York State chapter of NOW, in reality he has long been associated with anti-woman fathers' rights groups the National Congress for Fathers and Children and the Children's Rights Council (which is a fathers' rights group, not a child-welfare group). He was on the Advisory Board for Fathers' Rights and Equality Exchange (F.R.E.E.). He is also highly supportive of the American Fathers' Coalition (AFC often cites Farrell as an "expert"). These groups are of no service to women, and they don't do men and fathers much good either. They serve children the least.

What Farrell has been trying to keep quiet for twenty years were statements he made supportive of incest for a 1977 issue of Penthouse. He has threatened to sue anyone who brings up this article. I have been threatened but never sued. I am not afraid to bring this issue up when necessary. If he wanted to sue anyone he should have sued Penthouse and writer Philip Nobile for any problems with the article, but he has never done that. He made excuses for his pro-incest statements. For example, saying that he meant "gently caressing" rather than "genitally caressing." He then later changed that statement to meaning "generally caressing." He can't dance his way out of what he said."

Warren Farrell is not a "male feminist." He is quoted left and right here, with and without proper credit (I wondered where "gender equity" came from). Surely you don't mean to imply he's unamerican? Or negative?

He has such beautiful young daughters. For their sake, I hope their father didn't practice with them what he preaches.

Thank you for your patience.

Ok feminists -that is creepy. Please tell me that that is not true -that he was ousted when they realized their error and has not been back since.
