My Take
Warren Farrell fascinates me precisely because of his unusual trajectory. He started inside the feminist movement of the late 1960s and 1970s, even serving on the board of the National Organization for Women in New York, then became one of the most prominent voices on men's issues with The Myth of Male Power. Whatever one makes of his arguments, the willingness to publicly shift position is rare, and I respect intellectual honesty more than consistency for its own sake. Coming out of Queens and trained at New York University, he seems to me like someone genuinely wrestling with how gender roles constrain everyone, not just one side.
