The most holy band of society is friendship. Mary Wollstonecraft, ‘A Vindication of the Rights of Women’, - Germaine Greer

The most powerful entities on earth are not governments but the multi-national corporations that see women as their territory, indoctrinating them with their versions of beauty, health and hygiene, medicating them and cultivating their dependency in order to medicate them some more.

If women could regard childbearing not as a duty or an inescapable
destiny but as a privilege to be worked for, the way a man might
work for the right to have a family, children might grow up without
the burden of gratitude for the gift of life which they never asked
for.

In a sane society no woman would be left to struggle on her own with the huge transformation that is motherhood, when a single individual finds herself joined by an invisible umbilical cord to another person from whom she will never be separated, even by death.
