Greer

Famous quotes containing the word greer:

    There has come into existence, chiefly in America, a breed of men who claim to be feminists. They imagine that they have understood “what women want” and that they are capable of giving it to them. They help with the dishes at home and make their own coffee in the office, basking the while in the refulgent consciousness of virtue.... Such men are apt to think of the true male feminists as utterly chauvinistic.
    —Germaine Greer (b. 1939)

    What we ought to see in the agonies of puberty is the result of the conditioning that maims the female personality in creating the feminine.
    —Germaine Greer (b. 1939)

    Australia is a huge rest home, where no unwelcome news is ever wafted on to the pages of the worst newspapers in the world.
    —Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
