Warren Farrell Explains Why Sons Need Their Dads | The Show | Dad Saves America

What’s going on with American boys these days? Why are they falling behind girls in education, health, and career prospects?
To help answer these questions, John sat down with Dr. Warren Farrell, who’s been studying the issue for decades.
Dr. Farrell is a political scientist and activist who wrote "The Boy Crisis," a book arguing for the importance of strong father figures in a contemporary culture that often ignores them. He started his career as a board member for the National Organization for Women, and is the only man to have served three terms in that position. Let us know what you think about Dr. Farrell’s ideas down in the comments.

Read "The Boy Crisis" and it changed my life. Thank you Dr Farrell

[@Sgstrummer17]

This was an awesome talk! As a man raised in a household where we lost our dad to cancer at a young age, it helped piece together some things for me. Thank you.

[@AB-sk7se]

My husband and I have some homework to do.

[@mew2wins919]

Fantastic. Our society is so far away from this discussion becoming mainstream

[@EricMHowardII-yh1rn]

I agree sons needs dads. Thank you for listening sincerely about this situation.

[@EricMHowardII-yh1rn]

Dads can set an example of opening up his figurative heart and encourage his son or daughter can do the same in an truthful and respectful way . When everyone gets heard there are plenty of winners all around. The dinner table gathering can become a safe haven or a spiritual warzone.

[@patrickerlandson2138]

Love your podcast and always enjoy hearing for Warren Farrell...we do have a coutry to save as Dads. Thank you for being in the parental trenches with all of us at Father-Con.

[@sandponics]

No they don't, but apparently fathers need sons, and grandsons.

[@Belzediel]

I wonder how Dr. Farrell determines the difference between a prisoner who genuinely has an insight into their potential, and prisoners who see a potential route to early release.

[@JSL177]

It’s my first time on this channel. I have Been a big fan of WF for a long time, however A specific section (4 mins) of this interview allowed me to understand a period of my life that never made sense before. Very appreciated thank you.

[@DadSavesAmerica]

Thank you for sharing! This warms my heart and is the reason we work hard to put this content out there in the world.

[@sandponics]

None of my life made any sense, but I am now rich and old, so that is OK by me.

[@tedalexander5263]

Fantastic content - thanks.

[@freiheut]

thank you so much for this...

30:00 the problem with saying "yeah men can be stay at home dads too now", shows a lack of understanding of female arousal and attraction. A woman earning significantly more has been shown to precipitate divorce. Women bristle at thr idea of having to support a man "long term" , and be the breadwinner. Also if the woman is working and seeing corporate sharp suited, dominant , aggressive, go getting men in the office, being chased by other women (mate copying), and then comes back home to a stay at home low earning Dad smelling of baby milk, she's not goig to be aroused. Its a downward spiral... She initiate divorce, get primary custody, get child support, get alimony etc. Men have zero choice to be stay at home Dad because women would leave

[@anneb889]

The stay at home dad just has to be the Casanova of the stay at home moms…like in Mr Mom the one mom was trying to join up with Michael Keaton. Lol. I actually agree with you. For most of the relationships I know where the wife makes more (he doesn’t even stay home, he is still working) the husband is pretty henpecked.

[@simonlandon9616]

If the high earning woman divorces the stay-at-home dad... She won't get spousal support, HE will. Lol.

[@clivematthews95]

This is very important

[@mindfulway513]

Honest and deep conversation about interesting topics. So many thinks dads and also mums need to know! Thanx a lot! i am following you from Germany. Am Teacher in the german school system facing the same problems you‘ re discribing. Unfortunately no publisher dares to translate this book ‚Boy Crisis‘ into German language….. The feminist gender paradigm has taken control of leading media……

[@sandponics]

When I was a boy at school we troublesome boys often got corporate punishment, we liked it as it made men of us. Today the young women often have more balls than the young men.

[@moderatethinker9223]

Oh and to soften up a few percent on what i said about the mental health thing, particularly about the help, it's a mixed bag who goes in and it's a mixed bag what helps and doesn't help and i don't think it was full on personal enough to say it but like it's there you know, hard to explain. If they would do it right it might not be so bad to roll out the mental health thing and contain some people better but i don't trust it enough to really be for it it's not good enough.

[@moderatethinker9223]

I think it's important for children to understand how things affect them but who do you trust to give that lesson?

[@rafresendenrafresenden.1644]

cool

[@moderatethinker9223]

Alright one more... I just thought of something like if trash could breakdown to something that can generate electricity in the sun, maybe as it wears out like a disposable battery of a solar panel, one to help things to break down a little more gently than they could for another thing and that might help with some waste problems for something.

[@spunkybuddy]

Here from BB. U2?

[@blackadder194]

I’d like to know how many women have bought his books and listened to his speeches

[@Typaradox_FPV]

im a sceptic but I agree with this guys stats.. I notice the same relative to someone around 31 y/o male.

[@moderatethinker9223]

Also I gotta say something about mental health, in my experience they can say anything they want and the patient's course of action is limited. People can tell a story and get people put in the hospital and the doctor doesn't know shit first, don't seem to want to and it's just a way of processing people mostly. Getting irritated is a disease, having a negative opinion of them is some kind of word, like if you want them to say you're 'better' it's sad that they give you a bad name for having a bad review but it's real. They can use mental health to get right past all your rights too, and over speach if they want, beliefs if they want, any lip they don't like, you don't get a jury you don't get an investigation and no not the doctor so much but they'll say it is bit the doctor comes around and basically sniffs a few minutes and the judge knows less than that and makes big decisions that commit months and years of people's lives to whatever they said and yeah it's pretty bad. Can't own a gun.. that's where they're coming from right now to take over I think, rolling out the mental health narrative. That medicine sterilized a lot of people too. What I got for my eighteenth birthday basically and I was an inventor already. Never got shit for it but someone did but my claims get written down as rants and delusions whenever they want and what they put on people's names is like their way of domination and talking back but they put on that face where they were just making notes that were unfortunately too much one way or the other for their opinions. Noone checking them either. My problems are with them in Alabama and it needs addressing but I haven't seen any help yet that's why I do this on people's videos... Oh yeah if you wonder, yes my shit was taken and otherwise disposed with while I was locked up for no crimes on noone that knew me said so because some legal hear say and shit and it was two times that happened by 25 and I get the feeling these Hindus are covering each others asses with their opinions of people, but there's more that's shady too. I don't want to keep going.

[@moderatethinker9223]

You know Hindus are trying to stir up a holocaust on Christians in India

[@moderatethinker9223]

Ill paste another one that was my comment but it's older. Here in Alabama I think that the hemp thc and all that limits is good for edibles and I recommend it more however i think we should legalize weed... even though we need a lottory i think not having one is good for states around and a different neighbor is a different world around you know, but weed the plant im for it, i want to grow, eat, smoke, make craft and things with the fiber, whatever i want, and coca the plant too and if the PLANT of coca was just legal, people could get off of the concentrated stuff. There's one... I just thought of something like if trash could breakdown to something that can generate electricity in the sun, maybe as it wears out like a disposable battery of a solar panel, one to help things to break down a little more gently than they could for another thing and that might help with some waste problems for something. That was another one... I think a lighter equipped navy like small boats and more military trips that are like sponsored vaycations, light work in a way for soldiers in these teams of boats, equipped with light arms and less lethal stuff. Might could carry aid on the regular. That was another one... I think South Africa should be on the table for the powers of the world to negotiate over, call it a diplomatic zone and be like who gonna say no? Other places might not "deserve" it as much but it could turn a story away from war. That was another one.

[@amiteshdas2989]

Since gender is a social construct, a female parent can play the role of father as well as a male parent. So that way a dad is not needed if mom can be a dad. That two parents is better than one is another matter.

[@bolt9110]

59:00 Stop having the baby of men out of your league you never had any chance of locking down because he had better female options than you. Stop divorcing your husband. Be better, more appreciative wives. . Lose the entitlement. A relationship is an exchange of value; so be valuable enough to your man that he Willingly wants to be with you. .

[@bolt9110]

@@nemaveze9277 Sounds like someone wasn't spanked enough by their last bf ;)

[@eilatharel287]

reached minute 18 and I so disagree with what he says, that because dads are more of the time away they are less significant to the kids. we home-school our kids. i spend so much more time with the kids than my husband does, who works full time. He is at least as significant as me, if not the more significant parent, because he is much more fun, he is very involved, and he does things with them that i can't

[@simonlandon9616]

Good point... And he does make it seem all men are gone far away. MANY men own their own businesses. I own my own business... Here's my POV: yes the hours are long... But they are flexible. My kids come to my business, play at my business, grow up learning WAY more about hard work and business than if I had a cubicle where kids are not allowed. You can be a man that works and still be very involved with your kids. BTW- good for you for homeschooling!

[@sandponics]

As a hunter gather I am often out of the cave hunting for game, and leave my wife back in the cave looking after the kids and preparing a meal for me when I return, she often also goes out to gather a few nuts and berries, and I am the biggest nut she ever found. Have a nice day!

[@alexsandersmith1880]

Guilty

[@khaiplusdotcom404]

I guess lol

[@GhazDakkaDaKrumpa]

Step one wake up Step two get a job

[@blackadder194]

Disposable male

[@fool1124]

i get it, solution is to put dads at home and moms go to work and climb the corporate ladder, feminists win

[@sandponics]

Woman, look to your house, and leave men's work to men.

[@fapstronaut3671]

Its Very sad There IS only 7k views on this gem.

[@sandponics]

That is because no one cares, and neither should you. People live under the illusion that other people care for them, but in reality they don't, they only care for themselves, and in a hundred years time most of us will hopefully have been forgotten.
