With the publication of The Myth of Male Power, Farrell became the one of the first modern masculist. In the early 1970s, he was a champion of feminism, serving on the board of the New York chapter of the National Organization for Women (NOW). Within a few years, he left NOW, frustrated with what he saw as their female exclusiveness and disregard for men's issues. His early books The Liberated Man and Why Men Are the Way They Are were more in the vein of a type of "masculinism" that has an approach to men's issues similar to that of feminism to women's issues.

His pioneering approach to sex issues has come to be the cornerstone of masculism. His ideology calls for gender equivalence and, unlike many other masculists, a reduction in traditional gender roles. He has made a critical examination of the power imbalance between the sexes, claiming that it heavily favors women: "The women's movement had done a wonderful job of freeing women from sex roles, but no one did the same for men".
