'I have been prohibited from quoting Warren Farrell in a University classroom'

November 7, 2007 at 5:47 pm · Filed under Vox Populi

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.

I've been told never to publish an article I was writing about James Bulger's senate voting record on minority rights after he became UMass president...Ah,but my local paper at the time thought they would be shut down.

Feminism is failing women too.

I guess that means more Western Muslimas in the future.
