Feminsts say, "the world is patriarchal and male-dominated"

Men's liberationists say, "The world is matriarchala nd female- dominated"

We need to be able to understand that the world is both and that should be a movement that gives equal opportunity and responsibility for both sexes.


Farrell says that the combination of emotianl rejection and being economically hurt results in a revolution, or in this case a men's liberation movement.

emotion rejection- "Like women, men experience emotional rejection if they divorce; but unlike women, men are much more likely to be involuntarily deprived of their children, thus experiencing a double dose of emotional rejection" economically hurt- after a divorce, men feel emotionally deprived and "on top of this, men are told to pay money for what they're deprived of (child and wife), they simultaneously experience economic hurt" (Farrell, 368).
