Warren Farrell Quotes
In the case of a man and a woman accused of committing a crime together, both will often agree to the man taking the rap-despite the man being more likely to receive a longer sentence and more likely to be raped in prison. If blacks were agreeing to do that for whites, the black community would be smart enough to call that ‘learned subservience.’
