Quote by Germaine Greer
The blind conviction that we have to do something about other people's reproductive behavior, 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.
Summary
This quote suggests that the desire to control and intervene in other people's reproductive choices stems from a sense of entitlement. It criticizes the belief that those who have exploited and exhausted the earth's resources have a right to dictate how others should behave in regard to reproduction. The quote challenges this viewpoint by emphasizing the importance of respecting others' autonomy and recognizing that the world does not solely belong to those who have exploited it, but to everyone who inhabits it.
