Quote by Germaine Greer

The sight of women talking together has always made men uneasy; nowadays it means rank subversion.

The sight of women talking together has always made men unea

Summary

This quote suggests that historically, men have felt uncomfortable when they see women engaged in conversation, as it challenges traditional gender roles and expectations. In present times, the quote implies that this uneasiness has evolved into a fear of female empowerment, as women coming together to share their thoughts and ideas may be seen as a threat to existing power structures. The quote reflects the ongoing struggle for gender equality and the perception of women's collective voices as destabilizing societal norms.

Homesickness is a real sickness- the ache of the uprooted plant.

It disturbs me when Obama says in the State of the Union address that he wants to make dropping out of school at 18 illegal, because people learn differently and before there are forms of learning for every type of person in the world, we shouldn't be condemned for leaving.
