Warren Farrell, author of The Myth of Male Power, advocates a "gender transition movement" which refers to more role-sharing among men and women than was traditionally the case. Farrell proposes, for example, that women may wish to work and labor more for income, and men may wish to spend more time with family and children.[1][2]

Farrell states, "Taking what had worked for most women and seeing it as a plot against them led us to see men as “owing” women. This created Stage II entitlement: women being entitled to compensation for past oppression. This prevented us from seeing the need to make a transition from Stage I to Stage II together : the need not for a women’s movement or a men’s movement, but for a gender transition movement."[3]

He further states, "A gender transition movement will be the longest of all movements because it is not proposing merely to integrate blacks or Latinos into a system that already exists; rather, it is proposing an evolutionary shift in the system itself—an end to “woman-the-protected” and “man-the-protector.”[4]

Farrell breaks down his proposed gender transition movement into stages of a grand process which are described consisely as follows:

1. Men and women adhering to strict gender roles for the sake of survival. 2. Women chose to "liberate" themselves from that role to gain more freedom. 3. Men followed women by proposing they too might be liberated from certain traditional roles. 4. Ultimately this process can culminate in a gender liberation movement for all.[5]
