“The whole idea of "leaners" and "lifters" is the central teaching of the right wing ideologue, Ayn Rand, who penned books like The Virtue of Selfishness. It’s a self-serving crock. Rand found out the hard way. After a lifetime proselytising on behalf of the "producers" and denouncing anyone needing government assistance as "parasites," when Rand became old and sick, she discovered that even a bestselling author could not afford health care in the neoliberal US. She availed herself of Medicare and ended her life on what she had despised – social security.

“To be truthful about the complex, ambivalent feelings about motherhood one must often contradict one statement with another, and leave them there, letting their proximity to each other do the work.”

“It is in fact a delicate balance between recognising what has been, and often still is, women's distinctive contribution to community, to family life, and acknowledging its worth, resisting its devaluation, while not forever consigning women to being solely responsible for caring.”
