Germaine Greer
How you answer the question, whether individuals should be persuaded to live their whole lives in a state of chemical dependency, first upon contraceptive steroids and then on replacement therapy, depends upon your regard for the autonomy of the individual. If men would not live their lives this way, why should women?
Germaine Greer
Most women still need a room of their own and the only way to find it may be outside their own home.
Germaine Greer
War is the admission of defeat in the face of conflicting interests.
Germaine Greer
Evolution is what it is. The upper classes have always died out it's one of the most charming things about them.
Germaine Greer
The few men who do a hand's turn around the house expect gratitude and recognition, so sure are they that, though it is their dirt, it is not their job.
Germaine Greer
