Dr. Steve S. Sommer can’t recall feeling more alone than in 1997, when he became a single father after separating from his wife of many years. The couple’s older daughter was 9 years old at the time, and their boy-girl twins were 4 years old.

Warren Farrell is practically an institution unto himself for the men’s movement. Warren started his career as an ardent feminist, writing a book, The Liberated Man (1974) that mostly concentrated on how men can support the women’s movement. He is the only man to have been elected three times to the Board of the National Organization for Women in New York City.
Warren subsequently underwent a transformation of viewpoints and wrote two more books, Why Men Are the Way They Are (1986) and the more radical The Myth of Male Power (1993), both of which have been of enormous value to men and the men’s movement. The New York Post called Why Men Are the Way They Are “the most important book ever written about love, sex, and intimacy.” He has served on the boards of the profeminist National Organization for Changing Men (now the National Organization for Men Against Sexism (NOMAS)) and the National Congress for Fathers and Children. Warren is currently finishing up his fourth book, The Seven Greatest Myths About Men, scheduled for publication in 1997. He continues a demanding schedule of workshops and speaking engagements to publicize his books.

If television reflects the state of the sexes, men are in trouble.
I’ve watched two episodes now of ABC’s Cashmere Mafia and I see a gaggle of males who are insecure, dependent, jealous and damaged. I caught a few episodes of Big Shots, and I see stooges with money – self involved twits who endlessly discuss their sorry lives over Scotch and cigars. And on the first episode of HBO’s In Treatment, a patient tells her therapist about her boyfriend crying because their relationship wasn’t going anywhere and he wants to start a family. “Haven’t you heard,” she said, “men are the new women.”

A vocal group of lawyers says the family courts reflect gender bias against fathers.
Being a divorced dad doesn’t necessarily make David C. Stone an effective advocate for fathers. But it certainly doesn’t hurt. “I understand what they’re going through,” says the 57-year-old sole practitioner, whose family law practice caters almost exclusively to men. “I’ve been married three times; I’ve given away houses. I also had visitation rights with a son who had moved to Arizona. I realize how difficult and painful divorce can be. The only reason I pursue this line of work is that children need two actively engaged parents.”
