another characteristic I found of love in healthy people is that they
have made no really sharp differentiation between the roles and
personalities of the two sexes. That is, they did not assume that the
female was passive and the male active,whether in sex or love or anything else. These people were so certain
of their maleness or femaleness they did not mind taking on some
of the aspects of the opposite sex role. It was especially noteworthy
that they could be both passive and active lovers…an instance of
the way in which common dichotomies are so often resolved in selfactualization,
appearing to be valid dichotomies only because people
are not healthy enough.

Additional quotes by Germaine Greer

The blind conviction that we have to do something about other people’s reproductive behaviour, and that we may have to do it whether they like it or not, derives from the assumption that the world belongs to us, who have so expertly depleted its resources, rather than to them, who have not.
