Welcome to the Megan Kelly show, your home for Open, Honest, and Provocative Conversations.

Hey everyone, I'm Megan Kelly. Welcome to the Megan Kelly show. Have we got an amazing program lined up for you today?

I've been thinking about this. For days, I was talking to my family about it this morning that something I want my kids to listen to.

This is a show that has the ability to impact every single one of us. If you have a family listen up. If you have sons, especially pay attention.

Or if you would like to create a son someday and find a grown son somebody else's to partner with in life so you can create a family of your own.

If you have a relationship that's on the rocks, all of it. There's help workplace issues. That factors into the discussion we're about to have.

The co-parenting drama that a lot of people find themselves in including one of the biggest celebrities in the world. Britney Spears. There's news about that today.

All of this factors in as we speak today to Dr. Warren Farrell.

He is the author of the boy crisis. Why are boys are struggling and what we can do about it.

He is also someone that you have been requesting in large numbers and he has graciously offered to take some of your questions later in this show.

His many, many books have been published in more than 50 countries and in 19 languages.

Dr. Warren Farrell, welcome to the program. So great to have you here.

I'm looking so forward to talking with you. I've admired you for many years.

Oh, thank you very much. It was great to read up on some of your accolades.

The Financial Times of London has named you one of the world's top 100 thought leaders. Think about that. Top 100 thought leaders. That's not an easy honor to receive.

And I respect that. And I respect the area in which you've been working. I've said a lot that on issues like the Me Too problems, what happens on college campuses with women and men, equal pay arguments and so on.

I believe the solution to this problem ultimately, ultimately lies in parents who have both boys and girls.

And that right because we love them both equally. We don't want our daughters to get sexually harassed or assaulted. But we don't want our boys to get unfairly accused of these things.

We want our daughters to get equal pay. But we don't want it to come at the expense of boys who have done nothing wrong or based on a lie about boys, our earning girls that doesn't take into account life choices. Right.

When I talk to my other moms and dads of boy and girl parents, they make the most sense to me on these issues. So how did you get so smart on all of this? Are you a, are you a dad of a boy and a girl?

And what brought you to this line of thinking to where you are recognized as one of the top 100 thought leaders in the world?

Well, as you probably know, my background started with the national organization for women in New York City. So I was deeply involved with the women's movement. I spoke all over the world and behalf of women's issues.
