Germaine Greer
The treatment for jaded sensibilities is not to shatter them, after all.
Germaine Greer

Germaine Greer
Act quickly, think slowly.
Germaine Greer
Nature herself is not always unambiguous. Sometimes a girl child may have so well-developed a clitoris that it is assumed she is a boy. Likewise, many male children may be underdeveloped, or their genitals deformed or hidden and it is assumed that they are girls.
Germaine Greer
I didn't fight to get women out from behind vacuum cleaners to get them onto the board of Hoover.
Germaine Greer
Bringing up children is not a real occupation, because children come up just the same, brought or not.
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.
