Germaine Greer and many other 2nd wave feminists are haters that are out of touch in today’s world. The hate that is against everyone who doesn’t agree with feminists like what Germaine Greer preaches are classified as anti-women. Feminism needs something new than liberal feminism that dominates the face of feminism today and its hurting everyone. Feminism is where is at today because of feminists like Germaine Greer that have turned it into a power tool.
What would be really nice is that if Germaine Greer would stop saying sexist and how pedophilia is good with prepubescent boys and promote some common sense.

Misandry means hatred of men or boys and yes its around a lot more than people give it credit for.

[...] Take Debs. Hey, a lot of the posts on her blog are actually quite useful andinformative, especially if she provides links. Alas, she also has this thing against trans people. Even if she didn’t, I suspect we couldn’t be friends, since Debs wuvs Germaine Greer (and glamorous GG, as you might recall, hates me). [...]

I’ll see the “people have heard about them, they must be great” and raise you a “If they’re pissing you off, they must be doing something right”. It’ll cost you a “but they have a degree” to stay in the game.

Indeed.

The last thing I read from Greer was extensive betching that too many women are showing cleavage. Yeah, that’s totally about feminism right there – shaming women because our bodies are visible.

Include me out, thanks. I prefer my feminism to make sense.

Preach it, Lisa.

Ted Bundy gets talked about a lot. And he’s influenced copycat killers as well. Should we admire him as well?

(Note: I don’t think Greer and Raymond are anything like Bundy, but, you know… the absurdity of this whole “people noticed this person, so they MUST be great” is really grating on me).

Lisa, Raymond and Greer are women who achieved a lot. We can see that just by the fact that people talk about them, people, even men, are influenced by them. They have made a difference

People get angry with them because neither sugarcoats.

No, I get angry with Greer because every time I see writing from her lately, it’s misogynist. Because she set out to destroy a woman’s career because that woman was trans. I get angry with Janice Raymond because she wrote a book length hate screed about trans women that was informed solely by her prejudices and biases and not at all by reality. She was also responsible for a bit of a witch hunt to have Sandy Stone removed from Olivia Records just because Sandy was trans.

The fact that they have influenced so many people just means there’s that many more bigots to deal with. No thanks.

‘When you’re finally raped you’ll truly understand feminism’ seems to be the “feminist” version of Godwin’s Law:
