More quotes by Germaine Greer
Rescuing women from their burden of unwarranted guilt is going to require educational practices and socializing agents even more effective than the ones that have been relentlessly loading female humans with responsibility for other people's behavior from their earliest childhood.
Germaine Greer
Until women themselves reject stigma and refuse to feel shame for the way others treat them, they have no hope of achieving full human stature.
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
If a woman never lets herself go, how will she ever know how far she might have got?
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
After centuries of conditioning of the female into the condition of perpetual girlishness called femininity, we cannot remember what femaleness is.
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
The real theater of the sex war is the domestic hearth.
Germaine Greer
Mother is the dead heart of the family spending father's earnings on consumer goods to enhance the environment in which he eats, sleeps, and watches the television.
Germaine Greer
The blind conviction that we have to do something about other people's reproductive behavior, and that we may have to do it whether they like it or not, derives from the assumption that the world belongs to us, who have so expertly depleted its resources, rather than to them, who have not.
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 treatment for jaded sensibilities is not to shatter them, after all.
Germaine Greer
The principle of the brotherhood of man is narcissistic... for the grounds for that love have always been the assumption that we ought to realize that we are the same the whole world over.
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
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
Consensus politics means that you cannot afford to give the many-headed beast, the public, anything to vote against, for voting against is what gargantuan pseudodemocracy has to come down to.
Germaine Greer
There are poems about the internet and about the shipping forecast but very few by women celebrating men.
Germaine Greer
Men ought to become more conscious of their bodies as objects of delight.
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
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?
