  • "Dear John,

    How proud and pleased we renegade Australians were to learn that you're really one of us! That you, dear crumple-faced John, have the rich temerity to be a fucker!

Why, this means that, in your underpants at least, you support the sexual revolution! Hooray! Or do I cheer prematurely O distinguished cocksman?"

    - 'Dear John', Germaine Greer circa 1969.
