‘I have been prohibited from quoting Warren Farrell in a University classroom’
November 7th, 2007 by Glenn Sacks, MA for Fathers & Families
Warren Farrell (pictured), the ideological wellspring of the men’s and fathers’ movement, just sent out an interesting letter he received from one of his readers. The reader, Mark, writes:
“Dear Dr. Farrell,
“I have been prohibited from quoting your book in a University of Massachusetts classroom. The class is titled, ‘Women in Psychology.’ The class actually teaches feminism. The class was told that your book is a compilation of lies, and your theories do not deserve to be addressed. Furthermore, I may not cite your book in any research papers.
“I wrote you to ask your advice on how to handle this situation. You have undoubtedly come across this before. I would hope you could share a few ideas on how I could handle myself in such a hostile environment.”
Imagine that–a Massachusetts university professor banning a men’s movement text–unbelievable, but totally believable…
Warren’s new book Does Feminism Discriminate Against Men? was recently reviewed in the Canadian National Post here.
