Reading #GermaineGreer 's #TheFemaleEunuch at the moment. Even as a lifelong feminist, this is opening my eyes to some attitudes I'd not realised before (eg: Anaïs Nin - a patriarchal tool? Mind you - I always thought she might be a bloke writing under a female pseudonym!)

"Many a housewife staring at the back of her husband's newspaper or listening to his breathing in bed is lonelier than any spinster in a rented room."

Germaine Greer, from "The Female Eunuch"

ESTHER: She wanted us women to stop buying into our own oppression.
BRIAN: Who did?
E: Germaine Greer.
B; Oh.
E: It was marvelous. At least what I read of it was. What a Mark & Elaine & Mom w her thrombosis & you working 70h a week, I never got it finished.
