Why Men Are the Way They Are by Warren Farrell, Ph.d
(Mass Market Paperback - December 1990)


Dr. Farrell, a former board member of NOW, tries to build a bridge of understanding between men and women. Instead of presenting an abridged version of his book, Farrell participates in a planned, animated dialogue with a woman. This format provides easy access to Farrell's key points. More significantly, it serves as a model for male/female conversation. In conversation, according to Farrell, males are on female turf. "The person whose turf it is has to take primary responsibility for creating a safe environment."
