The feminist movement did more harm than good TAO and my ditzy lil brain actually knows this as I am doing gender studies as part of my degree in Sociology...and if she lays claim to being even partly responsible for that then she has a lot to answer for..shes contemptible.So if you know nothing please feel free to say nout.

And I still believe she needs a good man ,wink wink:)..read into that what what you will and judging by your term 'foul mouth' it must mean your interpretation of my words means you have a foul mind TAO.

She was not 'spot on' about Steve Irwin..she knew nothing of him or the Female Eunach..

Actually,

I agree that the feminist movement has a lot to answer for in that it subverted the revolutionary movement of the masses.

However, I suggest that you revise your view that by studying gender studies as part of a Sociology degree you are now the font of all knowledge.

You are being taught by the same bourgeious academic milleu of which Germaine was, and probably still is, a part - although it is probably much less radical and daring.

And don't try to blame me for reading small minded filth into your posts - it is there for all to see.

As I said, Greer has probably made a much greater intellectual contribution to the world than either of you, and the only thing you can do is make smutty personal remarks. I hope this is not the standard of your academic endeavours.

Tao, firstly the posts you read were between me and OZGIRL. I fully believe that you agree with Greer. I have nothing against the rights of females, I just find Greer to be a loudmouth and very outdated. The rights of females are in place now and I believe Greer has nothing more to add. What she said about Steve Irwin was out of place and if you believe that she was right in what she said then maybe you need to "Grow up".

Who died and made you the moderator? Maybe you need a good &%$*. Now run away and keep your nose out of posts that really were none of your business anyway. Yes I did ask what Greer actually did, I did not ask you to moderate my posts.

Since when did posting on a public forum become a private conversation?

If you choose to make inane comments, expect to be criticized.

If you can’t objectively see any validity in Greer’s comments then you are obviously the type of person that gets completely swept up in media hype. I guess this is true given the other thread you started about Lebanese people. Why should anyone bother to take you seriously?

If you want to know what Germaine Greer does now, well for one thing, she writes social commentaries in newspapers - which is more than we can say about you, given the level of intellectual insight you display. She is actually quite an accomplished writer. When you write a sensible critique (rather than simplistic slurs on her character) of her ideas, then let us know, I'm sure we'd love to read it.

By the way, the fact that you lower yourself to making comments about people’s sexual lives (including mine) in order to make your point, without a serious attempt to debate the actual issues reveals more about you than it does about me.

You are an angry person Tao, with a little too much to say. I didnt say that the forum was a personal meeting place. I said that whatever ozgirl and I said to each other had nothing to do with you. The mere fact that you even bothered to answer tells me that you are nothing but a trouble maker. Oh and by the way you have no idea what I do with my time, so dont tell me that I do not offer anything to the world. Idiot

Oh poor Deborah58,

There was nothing in your posts that said they were directed to anyone specifically. Your argument simply doesn’t hold any water. You chose to put your so-called ideas out there, deal with the consequences like a grown up. You are posting on an open forum so anyone has a right to make a comment.

You obviously see no problem dishing out criticism, but can’t handle it yourself. When someone doesn’t go along with you, or happens to reveal your own foolishness to you (as Greer obviously did), you attempt to trivialize and smear them, thereby avoiding dealing directly with what they are saying.

I never said you don’t offer anything to the world, however we can all see what you do spend your time doing - starting snearing little threads about others. Maybe you'll get your mind out of the gutter before you start the next one.

Ciao
