On todayâs show I interview Ken Wiebe of Fathers Canada, a coalition dedicated to working on behalf of fathers and children, advancing fathers' rights and shared parenting while exposing the corruption and sexism rampant in the family law system.     We conclude a three part interview with Dr. Warren Farrell, menâs movement pioneer.  We focus on gender history along with a discussion on historical and contemporary feminism, and the future of the gender transition movement and men's activism.    Plus, news and commentary in the fields of gender and equalism from our regular pundit Mark aka Argus Eyes, who runs the blog True-Equality.  Ken Wiebe is a father, a self employed business man and an independent contractor who has been a frequent independent contract consultant for government for approximately 19 years, in computer matters.  He is the spokesman for B.C. Fathers, an unregistered support group for fathers and mothers in regard to access, custody and matrimonial disputes.  He also assists in coordinating the coalition Fathers Canada.Dr. Warren Farrell is roundly regarded as a leading figure in the menâs movement, or better, the gender transition movement. His unique background and expertise give him a perfect vantage point from which to address menâs issues. Dr. Farrell has taught gender issues and psychology at several institutes, including Brooklyn College, Georgetown University, American University and the School of Medicine at the University of California at San Diego.As a young graduate, Dr. Farrell was a major player in the feminist movement, especially in creating menâs groups across the US, then becoming the only man to be elected three times to the Board of Director of the National Organization for Women in New York City. Farrell was featured in media including the New York Times, the Today Show and the Phil Donahue Show, leading to his authorship of the pro-feminist book The Liberated Man.As we discuss, in the late 80s, Farrell became increasingly convinced that feminism was rather one sided and that menâs issues were being neglected, leading to deep research on a variety of topics long taken for granted, and the publication of his landmark The Myth of Male Power, which touched on a diverse cross section of issues.Farrell would go on to research each area in great depth, leading to the publication of 5 more books, including âWomen Canât Hear What Men Donât Sayâ, a couples communication book to address the rise in divorces, âFather and Child Reunionâ, to address the issue of fatherless homes and present the optimal shared parenting solution, âWhy Men Earn Moreâ to address the pay gap, and âDoes Feminism Discriminate Against Menâ which, among other things, called for menâs studies in academia
