Warren Farrell gets back into it with the Cackling Quacks: HuffPost Live

"If you look at fatalities in in the workplace, domestic violence is the number one cause of death in the workplace. 94% of death in the workplace is female? "

Haha, what?

It's funny that she also says that it's a socioeconomic problem when it's the men suffering, but at the opposite end it's totally a problem of gender.

Also, I totally love how that chick on the left totally reframes Warrens arguments to be in support of feminist ideology. That every negative trait is masculine, and what we need is more femininity, which is synonyms with empathy, morality, equality etc., that it's the patriarchy. Come on.

"There is a socioeconomic problem of people getting paid for what they're worth" Oh god, these women are insane.

All Warren Farrell had to do is reasonably present his position and facts to make the other three female guests positions look weaker in comparison. They couldn't handle his arguments and positions, hence the weak, unbelieving denials ("I haven't heard about that statistic") and the inexplicable claim that Warren was "pitting men and against women" lol wtf.

One of the speakers repeatedly insinuates that Farrell is "pitting men and women against each other" and "blaming women for men's problems," when he does no such thing. I have to wonder, is this a calculated rhetorical tactic, or is she simply programmed to hear an attack on women every time someone brings up something that might not be going swimmingly for men?

This video is literally INSUFFERABLE.

I could only stomach enough of it to see one segment where Warren was allowed to talk, but if he didn't end up saying "you three are insane, and I cannot have a discussion with you" and walking out, I'm utterly shocked.

I don't know how he can sit there while they spin and lie and completely femsplain away the male experience, without punching his computer screen.

How do you even talk to someone who says, "If you look at fatalities in in the workplace, domestic violence is the number one cause of death in the workplace. 94% of death in the workplace is female."

What on earth was she even talking about? Does she consider the home a woman's "workplace"? How insanely non-feminist! And even if she did mean that, I'm pretty sure most deaths that occur in the home are not spousal homicides. Or does she mean that of the 6% of workplace fatalities that are women, 94% of those deaths involve a spouse showing up at the workplace to murder a woman (in which case, it is not a work-related death any more than being stabbed while crossing the street is a "traffic-related" death), and that means it's a bigger problem? WTF? How does the interviewer just let her say that without even asking for a clarification?

And the idea that all women's problems are about gender, while all men's problems are due to something other than maleness. Good grief, how many more times can a person hear that assertion without wanting to stab themselves in the head with a toasting fork just to end the pain?

god did I rage watching this.

Unbelievable, Warren Farrell pitted against three cackling quacks! And the general populace sucks it up. If a problem disproportionately affects women - it's a gender issue, it's discrimination, it's because men are pigs. If a problem disproportionately affects men - it's not due to gender or discrimination, by framing it this way you are "pitting men against women". The usual horse manure from these cackling quacks.

"I agree... that there's no reason to pit men against women..." Says the woman who bleats "patriarchy!" at every opportunity.

Thanks for posting this.

I don't think the term "Cackling Quacks" is fair here.
