“Men's competitive team sports focus on the balance between individual achievement and team achievement with the emphasis on team achievement.”

American author, educator, and activist

Warren Thomas Farrell is an American author, educator, and activist known for writing about gender, especially men’s issues. He was active in the second wave feminist movement in the late 1960s and 1970s, and later became a prominent critic of feminism. His work spans the changing debate over sex roles in modern America. Farrell served on the board of the National Organization for Women in New York City and wrote The Liberated Man in 1974, a book that examined how traditional gender roles restricted both men and women. He earned his doctorate in political science in 1974. His role-reversal workshops in the 1970s and early 1980s brought him wider public attention, and his later writing focused more explicitly on the disadvantages and challenges faced by men.
