Older women can afford to agree that femininity is a charade, a matter of colored hair, ecru lace and whalebones, the kind of slap and tat that transvestites are in love with, and no more.
Germaine GreerThe surest guide to the correctness of the path that women take is joy in the struggle. Revolution is the festival of the oppressed.
Germaine GreerI do think that women could make politics irrelevant; by a kind of spontaneous cooperative action the like of which we have never seen; which is so far from peopleโs ideas of state structure or viable social structure that it seems to them like total anarchy โ when what it really is, is very subtle forms of interrelation that do not follow some heirarchal pattern which is fundamentally patriarchal. The opposite to patriarchy is not matriarchy but fraternity, yet I think itโs women who are going to have to break this spiral of power and find the trick of cooperation.
