Germaine Greer

Germaine Greer
Bringing up children is not a real occupation, because children come up just the same, brought or not.
Germaine Greer
Man made one grave mistake: in answer to vaguely reformist and humanitarian agitation he admitted women to politics and the professions. The conservatives who saw this as the undermining of our civilisation and the end of the state and marriage were right after all it is time for the demolition to begin.
