He was doing that so his child

wouldn't have to drive that cab.

The garbage collector does not

get up at 3:
00 or 4:00

in the morning

in rain and sleet and snow

and get out to do the garbage

so he can have more power

over his wife.

That's power he's losing

over his life

in order to make

his contribution,

his sacrifice,

his way of loving.

And this has been translated

into the culture of

"you make more money

than women do,

you must therefore

have more power."

Meet Warren Farrell,

best-selling author

and self-styled

social anthropologist,

leading an assault on our

traditional thinking about men.

I asked my

girlfriend at the time

to buy me as a gift,

I think it was for Christmas

or my birthday,

Warren Farrell's book

"the myth of male power,"

which she did, and it just

changed my whole life.

And his premise was while women

are often seen as sex objects,

men are often seen

as success objects.

And this resonated with me.

He wrote this book that

questioned our notions of power,

of who had power

and where it was,

and it questioned

the roles of men,

but not the way feminists

had always questioned

gender roles.

Every society that survived

survived based on its ability

to train its sons

to be disposable...

Disposable in war as warriors,

disposable in work

as firefighters,

as workers on oil rigs

and so on, coal miners,

and indirectly, therefore

disposable as dads.

What happens in men's life

when they're raised

that they're worthless

unless they're a provider,

that they must work

even if they have

to take on

extremely dangerous work,

they must get this done

or they're useless as men?

That is very,

very powerful stuff.

See, feminism did see accurately

that we value male work

more than we value female work.

But there's also the issue

that we value female life

more than we value male life.

Even when that plane

went down in New York City

a few years ago and, you know,

the pilot was a hero

for the way he landed it

and saved everybody...

Word arrived over

the city-wide fire frequency

that a commercial jet liner

was in the water

with 155 people on board.

Then, over the next few minutes,

the doors opened,

life vests were inflated,

and, women and children first,

everyone got off that plane.

They saved all the women first.

That's still... when I went

on a cruise, you know,

there's still women into

the life boats first.

Not because you're a man

so you should be able to swim

halfway across the ocean,

but because you're a man

you're expendable.

We have to look at not just

the glass ceilings,

but also the glass cellars.

And, Paul,

I think as you were saying,
