I don't disagree with you on that point she will always come under attack, but as an educated person who has supposedly delt with this all her life she should have known that when your tied to the stake with the wood stacked high you don't poor petrol on the flames. There was lots of ways she could have answered it better and in Amore educated way she choose the tunnel so had to except which train came down the track and she did it openly and willingly

Say nothing = too gutless sell out
Say what she thought = attack of Kate even though it wasn't
Say the opposite = too gutless sell out
That's right, she's been judged as a bitter old woman past her use by date who no longer has the right to voice her opinion, according to some..
Please don't take that as a personal comment directed at you, it wasn't 😄
I don't see it as directed at me, as I don't view her as a bitter old woman, and certainly feel she has a right to voice her opinion, however crass it may be.
I DO see her as someone who courts controversy, and she has done so again here.
As far as your options go...
Kind of hard to play what if, but if she'd said nothing, it seems unlikely we'd be discussing her and her words at all, including the idea that she's a sell-out.
And I have no idea why she'd say the opposite of what she thought, but in expressing her views - restating her philosophy - I think she could have been vastly more diplomatic, and been better served.
But that's not her style, and she may pay some price for her approach in this case.
But I imagine she's delighted to be back in the news; I imagine that's what her attack on Kate was about as much as anything else.
What you call attacks on Greer - controversy which she invited - may be seen by Greer as so much lovely gravy.
Maybe that's a win for her - who knows - but Kate looks good here, and Greer not so much.
At least we're spelling her name right.
