"Men have a lot to gain from s(
role equalization, less ulcers at
headaches. The masculir
mystique has led me to realize tt
need to have freedom from j<
specialization, to learn to listen,
ask questions which I don't alreac
know the answers to, to look
women as human beings, to cry
public and to learn to love."
Warren Farrell summed this i
his experiences from mal
liberation Tuesday night as a pai
of Women in Focus Week. Farrel
the current coordinator for tl
national task force on th
masculine mystique for th
National Organization of Wome
(NOW) is also the author of Beyon
Masculinity which will b
released soon.
Beyond Masculinity
Farrell does not like the ten
male feminist because it identifiE
him as an example of masculinit
vis-a-vis women's liberation. H
perfers this over being called
masculinist or some other title.
He describes the masculin
mystique as the need of men t
orove themselves in a whole serie
of ways which they identify a
masculine to deal in the world in a
abstract way. They have to d
dramatic things such as being ch(
on Sundays to impress the guest
and form childcare centers.
Dramatic things never become th
routine. The man never sees th
cooking the other six and a ha
days or the caring of children a fu
24 hours.
In the last few years a fe'
countries have made progress i
breaking down sex roles. The onl
sex perspective in the Unite
States has been on women'
liberation. Farrell explained, "It i
never I have a problem comin
from any man. Men never ir
trospect. They have the inability t
empathize . They are bad i
developing other peoples sense c
potential. Men come to cor
sciousness raising groups as
favor to women. This is a tradin
stamp deal. The woman must pa
back in some way. She will pla
offensive and he will play defer
sive.
"I see thewomen's liberatioi
movement pushing in three areas.
There must be childcare center
established at the place of em
ployment so men can take thei
children to work with them and se
them longer. I see a 40 hour wor
week, four days a week in th
future. This leaves three clays o
potentiality with children. H
further sees a staggered worl
schedule where men may work i
the mornings and their wives worl
in the afternoons. With thes,
combinations there will be i
substitute parents."
Up until now it was said that boy
and girls need mothering. Juvenil<
delinquency rates indicate the lacl
of adequate mothers. Th<
questi'n comes of what per
centage have had inadequati
fathers. Farrell suggests, "th:

he realizes that everything in life
isn't going to be physical. He must
also be a bread winner. His
masculinity will always be at stake
with this as the expected role. He
leaves high school and must begin
manipulating the system. Get into
college but into a good college.
Then go to law school but to a good
law school. Manipulate the
system more. Get a clerkship but
with a good firm. Get on the law
review. Go out and get a cor
poration job but become a junior
partner. Manipulate more and
become a senior partner. Finally
when the boy is 50 years old he
starts becoming human."
