More quotes by Germaine Greer
The drug which makes sexuality palatable in popular mythology.
Germaine Greer
Women's liberation, if it abolishes the patriarchal family, will abolish a necessary substructure of the authoritarian state, and once that withers away Marx will have come true willy-nilly, so let's get on with it.
Germaine Greer
Many a housewife staring at the back of her husband's newspaper, or listening to his breathing in bed is lonelier than any spinster in a rented room.
Germaine Greer
The occupational hazard of being a Playboy Bunny is the aching facial muscles brought on by obligatory smiles.
Germaine Greer
Probably the only place where a man can feel really secure is in a maximum security prison, except for the imminent threat of release.
Germaine Greer
One may not reach the dawn save by the path of the night.
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
I grew up thinking there was one unpardonable sin – to be boring.
Germaine Greer
The management of fertility is one of the most important functions of adulthood.
Germaine Greer
There are poems about the internet and about the shipping forecast but very few by women celebrating men.
Germaine Greer
Pigs may like honey, but that doesn't stop it being sweet.
Germaine Greer
The essence of pleasure is spontaneity.
Germaine Greer
The fear of freedom is strong in us. We call it chaos or anarchy, and the words are threatening. We live in a true chaos of contradicting authorities, an age of conformism without community, of proximity without communication. We could only fear chaos if we imagined that it was unknown to us, but in fact we know it very well.
Germaine Greer
continuing sexual interest and perfect sexual adjustment between partners who have been together for thirty years is so difficult and rare that no one should feel guilty or inadequate for not having managed it.
Germaine Greer
Unless the concepts of work and play and reward for work change absolutely, women must continue to provide cheap labor, and even more, free labor exacted of right by an employer possessed of a contract for life, made out in his favor.
Germaine Greer
The house wife is an unpaid employee in her husband's house in return for the security of being a permanent employee.
Germaine Greer
As Angelo discovered in Measure for Measure, nothing corrupts like virtue.
Germaine Greer
Now as before, women must refuse to be meek and guileful, for truth cannot be served by dissimulation. Women who fancy that they manipulate the world by pussy power and gentle cajolery are fools. It is slavery to have to adopt such tactics.
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
Status ought not to be measured by a woman's ability to attract and snare a man.
Germaine Greer
