Germaine Greer thinks women still have cause to be angry.

About 30 years ago, Germaine Greer's book "The Female Eunuch" made her an icon for the feminist movement. Today, Germaine Greer says women still have good reason to be angry. Her latest book is "The Whole Woman". (Original broadcast May 1999)

How ridiculous an assumption to make: straight men want women to look like boys? This is bullshit. Ask any straight man off the street and he will tell you how he loves a woman with a big ass and hips. It is the GAY men controlling the fashion industry who have contributed to this stylized, stick-thin androgeonous image that young girls aspire to now. Normal men just want a woman to be healthy and toned.

@Alexdurrant7 "A cliche?" Yeah i mean its only the pillar of civilisation.

@MsIthinkthereforeIam

You can be curvaceous and toned without being overweight. Nobody finds rolls of blubber attractive. Is J-Lo fat? Rhianna? No, but the both have a big ass.

@Sambucca a big ass+big hips = healthy and toned??? Q_Q

Feminism is still needed. Future parents in England are aborting girls, could somebody tell me.

@ButterflyLullabyLtd what about mens human rights as well? Feminazi bitch..go fuck yourself.

[ButterflyLullabyLtd]

If you want to fight with me you are most welcome. See Butterfly Lullaby Cyber Bullying and Butterfly Lullaby Damp. Men are brainwashed to treat us badly. And until women fight back and say no to adult trash on the Internet and all over our TV and media they will continue to hurt us, and worse than that our children will grow up never being respected by men. So are you willing to let that happen?

She is not in school this week as a protest. As far as I am concerned I want to sack every single man in Government and on the Internet for not protecting Mothers and Children's family values.

Firstly I am sorry to hear about your bad luck with men, but glad you are teaching your daughter well. I have quit my part time job because of health reasons and my daughter and I are FIGHTING FOR OUR CHILDREN'S AND MOTHERS HUMAN RIGHTS!

@ButterflyLullabyLtd You are lucky you can be a stay at home mum! I love working but the choice would be great. I was with a man with awful addictions, thank goodness I got out. I spent a lot of time lonely to work out what I wanted, I am very fussy about men and tell my daughter to be the same. There is no shame in knowing your a princess and waiting for your prince. If your prince doesn't come single is fine too!

@Exsugarbabe1 women are more likely to suffer domestic violence if their in a relationship with a woman than a man.
