My God! Does being able to comment anonymously on youtube just turn everyone into a twat?

Or is it just that the braindead minority are most vocal online?!

This video is obviousy a good thing.

Sure. Germaine Greer is an extremely intelligent, provocative and often incisive commentator and intellectual. She is often a voice alone. Sometimes she is wrong, but when she is only voice speaking out that is right, thank God she is speaking out.

@HURLEYP Seems like your brain is already embalmed.

@handbagsandfaghags Amen.

@jedaaa Very simplistic thought lol

[sclapione]

@namelessmuffin Work on your thoroughly interesting videos and poignant punchlines then

[namelessmuffin]

I just watched Ed Byrne's spot at the Secret Policeman's Ball before this, and it took me a long time to realise that no punchline was coming from this woman.

[deniro999]

didnt she say foreign issues outside western society werent our business as theyr different culutres?

also

she recently she wants all men to be accused of rape live on the internet (regardless of trials judges or innocence.) is that justice or equal opportunity?

[handbagsandfaghags]

@MysticWhizz its a bit simplistic to say that. of course, there are extremists in every walk of life; as for feminism, when ppl say things are shit and have been perpetuated by men for a long time, that's not to say they "don't like men as a gender"; it's to say men have been in artificial position of power for too long and allowed things to go shit. but women have helped perpetute it too, and its not because men are dislikable, its because power is easy to abuse. its not black and white

Thanx Germaine. Yes China and Sri Lanka she's talking to you

[PrincesseEmmanuelle]

@MysticWhizz If you actually took the time to read her Wiki page, you'd realise it actually says "Germaine Greer has defined her goal as 'women's liberation' as distinct from 'equality with men'". Germaine doesn't want women to have superiority over men, please do some research before just spouting off ignorant comments and trying to ruin the reputation of a woman who is partly to thank for the liberties modern women enjoy today. I, for one, am thankful for Germaine Greer.

@handbagsandfaghags female superiority is scary shit, just as male superiority is. Ofc i know all feminists are not the same, i was speaking gnerally, and i thinka large numbwer of women who label themselves as feminists dislike men as a gender. If you do not belong to this sect, then i agree with you, the genders should be equal.
