Boaz,
There were references to this in a number of newspapers. (EG “Greer cheers divorcing women” The Adelaide Advertiser - 8th Sep 2004)

“THE high rate of divorce should be celebrated as the major sign of progress in the feminist movement, an ever-passionate Germaine Greer said at the start of a national speaking tour.

”Greer said the main thing to have changed since her early feminist days was the mass exodus of women walking out on their marriages. “

"Exactly the thing that people tear their hair out about is exactly the thing I am very proud of. But life for these women is very difficult. The price of their liberty has been taking on a massive amount of toil.”

She regards women walking out of marriage as something to be “proud” of, but maybe they should have stayed and worked things out. It is also questionable whether or not these marriages were actually “unhappy”, or whether this “unhappiness” was imagined, or had been brainwashed into the wives by some means.

Eg :- through reading recent articles such as “ Women live longer if they throw away the ring”

This article contains the first line:- “If women are looking for the key to long-lasting health, they should consider getting rid of their man.”

However , if you read the end lines of this article, and do some follow up research, then you will find that the “recommendations” or “considerations” contained in the first line, are actually based on bisased social science research, (as that research did not have a representation group of people in the study).

The newspaper article becomes an insidious form of brainwashing, and almost all of feminist doctrine is like this. Women's magazines are also filled with such biased or false articles.

What does Greer think is the father’s role in a nuclear family that has been split. This gives a clue:- “The state having taken over the duties of children towards their parents (and allowed the childless among us to face the future without dread) it had better finish the job and take over the duties of the father towards the child” The Independent [London], 25 May 91.

So in other words, the fathers become payers, and the mothers become payees. Great work Germaine. Not ironically, Greer is often quoted in “women’s studies”.

I am concerned that women’s “choices” to not have children, or to have abortions etc are also based on similar brainwashing.
