Have just been listening to an interview on ABC 24 and she called Juliar Gillard an organ grinders monkey the way she dressed. Here was this wrinkled stick with a head of hair that looked like she had put her hand in the power socket critisizing how another person looked. I personally have never admired this loud, overbearing feminist.

is this meant only for others, because I find some of your posts very hurtful to others and it just makes me wonder.
I do not mean for this to be taken as anything but a genuine question.
thanks
i am not insulted, i write my posts with complete honesty and my view on what i think. I do find some posters take comments made by not only me but everyone out of context.
Most of my comments are generalised without finger pointing at anyone although I will answer a post with a definate view if I disagree with what someone has said.
This is called debate and I though this forum was for debate.
I also write mostly with "tongue in cheek" as I don't like to be to serious on here.
Maybe I will change my signature at the bottom, now there's a post I will start for suggestions.

All because she was envious of men's appendages, no wonder men shunned her and the more she got shunned the more envious she became.
Where as a woman with femininity intact can have any amount of said appendage at her beck and call
Please.
Go and educate yourself.
Greer was never envious of 'appendages', yours or anyone elses. She was quite an enjoyer of the male appendage in her time and never made any secret of it but she didn't want to be a man.
Feminism is not about wanting to be a man - it is about having the same rights as men.

Greer was very scathing and smart mouthed about Julia Gillards style of dress on Q&A it would appear since the outrage she has made excuses and back peddled regarding her comments about Julia Gillard's dress sense.

Still no answers?
To answer my question would probably mean that you would be admitting that you disagree with yourselves.

Break it down to smaller portions and digest each portion before gulping down the next portion ๐
And maybe you can employ the assistance of some of the other posters here ๐

Or it could mean that you have not accepted my answer as presented, perhaps because it does not fit into you line of thinking ๐

really? As far as I know Germaine always had whole pack of admirers, and still does. She was beautiful, and not all men want a shrinking violet for a partner. Actually, nowadays most interesting men want a strong woman standing on her own feet.

You have not yet answered this question:-
Answer this, do you feel the same way about the GG? Before you answer, do you know that she was and still is one of the fiercest feminists in the country?
Remember this is what you said:-
I refer to attitude and all a person has to do is open their mouth and out it pours, thats when regardless of phisical appearence Ugly shines through.

Here's a question - I have looked but have not found any evidence of her ever having a partner ?
