It takes alot of bravery to attack a dead man. *Sarcasm*

Well I've always been the first to question the methods Hitler used to film his nature documentaries.
Who can possible watch Adolf Walks With the Elephants and not feel slightly uneasy?
Or the Third Reich of the Penguins?
sounds about right
I Germaine.
Because you are talking about a viewpoint - ultimately it's a debate about whether or not anything in the article was valid, or as you believe, it wasn't justified at all.
She's a sad, desperate old hack, who may or may not have once done some good things about feminism, but now is more like a leftwing version of Richard Littlejohn
But people have the right to respond as it's a discussion board, and then when they do it becomes a debate - Anyway I don't want to distract this thread anymore so feel free to submit a rant to our editorial team

Goes without saying that you haven't read The Female Eunuch. If you have, I'll eat my hat.
I Germaine, but I also steve irwin
My point was more to do with the thread title - she was actually being a rent a quote hack rather than writing as a feminist, so the title is a bit misleading.
Nope I haven't. That's why I don't take a view on whether she did or didn't have some useful or interesting ideas on feminism.
This isnt about the title, its about whats been said.
True that.
Stupid Bitch, he hasn't been dead that long... let the fucking time pass a little.
But do we expect any more from her to be fair?
Why didnt you say 67 year old, or why didnt you just say Germaine Greer?
Yes, but the journalist bit does suggest that part of those other things he does might be writing in papers. It tends to go with the job description.
feminist isn't a job, but a set of political beliefs and I suspect you wouldn't say 'supporter of the death penalty' mouths off because it isn't really relevant.
Exactly.
She might talk nonsense most of the time but I think she's right here.
