Quote by Germaine Greer

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.

Older women can afford to agree that femininity is a charade

Summary

This quote highlights the perspective of older women who believe that femininity is superficial and artificial. According to them, femininity is merely a faÃ§ade consisting of elements like dyed hair, delicate lace, and restrictive corsets. They perceive it as a flimsy disguise that transvestites, individuals who cross-dress, find appealing. Their viewpoint implies that femininity holds no substantial value beyond its materialistic aspects, suggesting a dismissive attitude towards its significance in society.
