Hello, Michael, I am not sure how you thought my email was "highly misleading".
According to the bio information with the book, Dr Warren Farrell was in fact elected to the Board of the National Organisation of Women in New York City, three times. And surely you would not claim that Dr Farrell is an "angry divorced father." Warren Farrell does not agree with the way feminism has become anti-male, and in this he is not alone among a number of intellectually influential present and former feminists. To indicate his depth and breadth of involvement with feminism by mentioning his CV seems reasonable to me.
