Germaine Greer Quotes About Husband

• Las mujeres viven una vida de disculpas continuas. Han nacido y crecido para asumir la culpa del comportamiento de los demás. Si las tratan sin respeto, se dicen a sí mismas que no han sabido ganárselo. Si sus maridos no las quieren, es porque son poco atractivas.

• The housewife is an unpaid worker in her husband's house in return for the security of being a permanent employee: hers is the reductio ad absurdum of the employee who accepts a lower wage in return for permanence of his employment. But the lowest paid employees can be and are laid off, and so are wives. They have no savings, no skills which they can bargain with elsewhere, and they must bear the stigma of having been sacked.

• Every time a woman makes herself laugh at her husband's often-told jokes she betrays him. The man who looks at his woman and says 'What would I do without you?' is already destroyed.

  1970 The Female Eunuch,'Love: Security'.

• Every wife who slaves to keep herself pretty, to cook her husband's favourite meals, to build up his pride and confidence in himself at the expense of his sense of reality, to be his closest and effectively his only friend, to encourage him to rejectthe consensus of opinionand find reassurance only in her arms is binding her mate to her with hoops of steel that will strangle them both.

• En la sociedad de consumo moderna, el ataque al erotismo madre-hijo adoptó su forma total; se proscribió la lactancia materna y se reservaron los pechos para el deleite fetichista del marido. Al mismo tiempo, se segregaba a los bebés, se les ponía solos en camas frías y no se les cogía si lloraban.

  Germaine Greer (1985). “Sex and destiny: the politics of human fertility”

• A woman is never so happy as when she is being wooed. Then she is mistress of all she surveys, the cynosure of all eyes, until that day of days when she sails down the aisle, a vision in white, lovely as the stefanotis she carries, borne translucent on her father's manly arm to be handed over to her new father-surrogate. If she is clever, and if her husband has the time and the resources, she will insist on being wooed all her life; more likely she will discover that marriage is not romantic, that husbands forget birthdays and aniversaries and seldom pay compliments, are often perfunctory.
