Men have still not realized that letting women do so much of the work for so little reward makes a man in the house an expensive luxury rather than a necessity.

More quotes by 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
Sex for many has become a sorry business, a mechanical release involving neither discovery nor triumph, stressing human isolation more dishearte-ingly than ever before.
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
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
Never advise anyone to go to war or to get married. Write down the advice of him who loves you, though you like it not at present. He that has no children brings them up well
Germaine Greer
There are poems about the internet and about the shipping forecast but very few by women celebrating men.
Germaine Greer
Supergroupies don't have to hang around hotel corridors. When you are one, as I have been, you get invited backstage.
Germaine Greer
I have always been principally interested in men for sex. I've always thought any sane woman would be a lover of women because loving men is such a mess. I have always wished I'd fall in love with a woman. Damn.
Germaine Greer
Sex is more fun than cars but cars refuel quicker than men.
Germaine Greer
Revolution is the festival of the oppressed.
Germaine Greer
Act quickly, think slowly.
Germaine Greer
I didn't fight to get women out from behind vacuum cleaners to get them onto the board of Hoover.
Germaine Greer
Guilt is one side of a nasty triangle the other two are shame and stigma. This grim coalition combines to inculpate women themselves of the crimes committed against them.
Germaine Greer
Developing the muscles of the soul demands no competitive spirit, no killer instinct, although it may erect pain barriers that the spiritual athlete must crash through.
Germaine Greer
Because love has been so perverted, it has in many cases come to involve a measure of hatred.
Germaine Greer
Security is the denial of life
Germaine Greer
I believe in permanent revolution.
Germaine Greer
The older woman's love is not love of herself, nor of herself mirrored in a lover's eyes, nor is it corrupted by need. It is a feeling of tenderness so still and deep and warm that it gilds every grass blade and blesses every fly. It includes the ones who have a claim on it, and a great deal else besides. I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
Germaine Greer
The high-heeled shoe is a marvellously contradictory item it brings a woman to a man's height but makes sure she cannot keep up with him.
Germaine Greer
Yet if a woman never lets herself go, how will she ever know how far she might have got? If she never takes off her high-heeled shoes, how will she ever know how far she could walk or how fast she could run?
