Those images transposed to a tamperers magazine... imagine. A fem does same, its 'artful commentary'. Media supported it. Small handful of older mums protested. Most women cant admit a problem with it. Tho they can when the roles are reversed. Speaks to the pervading maligancy.

Irwin diatribe = smoke screen for man bashing. Bad timing, low class (speaking ill of the dead), cowardly (cant defend himself).

Her diatribe is cultural cringe. Boring and tired topic. Cultural cringe is projection of personal insecurity. Insecure to get embarrassed at how someone elses behaviour and image impact self image/identity. Could have broached yawningly passe topic of her personal insecurity laden cultural cringe without the vilification.

Failing that she could take up buddhism, empty her head of her egocentric insecurities, learn tranquility and actually enjoy being alive.

Old grumpy men who do what she does just get dismissed as bitter, lonely old curmudgeonly haters, most vociferously by fems.

The way these people shoot themselves in the foot is high farce. Very entertaining.

Its time to stop pointing the bone and time to STAND IN FRONT of the MIRROR. May not like wot you see. You can start to acknowledge the truth. Start by cleaning your own backyards rather than telling the rest of us to do it for you.

To the question... what does greer do?
Nothing. She runs around saying 'look at me.'

Very frustrating for her. She's very intelligent and much of her commentary has merit (once you take out the ravenously mental stuff). Can see why she has given up and gotten angry, why she puts on an agitating front, winding up (mostly?) women. People wont take the responsibilty of real change seriously around gender, least of all women. Her blood boils, lashing out in her frustration. Spent too long in her head. Her intellect + few tking her seriously = self induced loopiness.

Sad. Has become a cariacture of herself. Sometimes wounder if her public face is a deliberate affectation. Getting into character, giving viewers what we want and taking her appearance fees.

Greer is a classic case of a third rate pretender hactivist who rode the coat-tails of the true agitators of change, who were many decades before her... those who got the vote for women.

Greer is just a book writer, lecturer, general talking head. The world is full of those, thankfully the net gives us ineffectual blowhards a place to congregate and put on our greer hats.

l think its hillarious that anyone can think REAL change is effected by verbalising ideas. Oppressed people know their experience, all the words in the world make no difference. l suspect that 60s feminism, like all other movements, was already happening in broader society, b4 the likes of greer came along and codified and penned the ideas. These academic types are always late on the scene. They observe a social phenomenon, explain it clearly and then people think they were actually responsible for it. Its like the idea that explorers discovered the new world... newsflash... it was already there.

Greers cloistered retreat behind sandstone walls of academia pretty much stand as proof positive of just how pointless she really is. Why actualy do anything about it when you can blow hard and 'raise awarness.' Talking about it is just a noisy way of doing nothing. 'Raising awareness'... pfft and LOL. Those who can do. Greer clearly aint one who can.

I take it trade that you are not fond of Ms. Greer. She is a poor excuse for a humman being.

ya think?

:)

trade215,

I thought your comments were interesting, but I'm not quite sure what it is that you think needs to be done. Please elaborate.

Tao, the answer’s in the wind ... if you cannot be still like a mountain nor flow like a great river, then why not try falling as the rain or wilting like a beautiful flower?
