Germaine Greer - Kissing your daughter goodnight is sexualizing children

Germaine Greer tries to suggest that a goodnight kiss from daddy is sexualization, but a man in the audience is not having it.

Of course as she gets older, her tools will change from her eyelids to other the parts of her body. Society will teach her what those are and how she uses them Greers' turn of phrase is, perhaps, unfortunate, as it implies some sort of sorded insestuous relationship. But her point is that a daughter can easily be encouraged by her father to objectify herself.

Why only the farther? Why not the mother or auntie or whoever whom cares for the child?

Are Women somehow immune to a child's "manipulations" ?

Should Men just withdraw all love and affection towards their daughters for fear of objectifying them?

Why is it men and specifically Fathers that deserve to be singled out?

[Mollari42]

Now what is important to stress is that, though both parties are aware of thier complicity, they do not realise the inherent dangers. Note that affection is good in this relationship, but manipulation is bad. The daughter will grow up thinking that she only has to "batter her eyelids" to get her own way. cont...

Your being too General: you need to be more specific.

[Mollari42]

I will explain why, but first can I point out that the arguments she makes in the rest of the video are very coherent. The sexualization of girls is and has been rife and noone in thier right mind can disagree. Thus her main point is valid, and this should not be ignored. We are privileged to have the whole statement here to put her words into context. cont...

Like everything to do with issues of gender The point is moot and the issue is exaggerated.

Single Mothers and non present dads are increasing and have increased significantly;

Yet sexulization of female children has increased why is this and why hasn't it been decreasing?

@kisgebe

OK, this should be interesting, go ahead explain why I am narrow minded.

A Mum Or a Dad giving their son or daughter a non sexual kiss of affection is perfectly normal to me and everyone else I know.

I will not let the likes of you demonize Fathers so much that they can no longer show any affection to their kids without some pre-programmed robot like you accusing them of abusing their children.

@Blackdemo

You need to stand up to these people before it is too late or you and others will find yourself in a nightmare situation with no way out.

Never forget these feminists are doing their earnest to break apart families and demonize men.

@ 3:23. This is your TYPICAL paedophile. LOL

No joke.

[TheJanetsvids]

Greer's got the white daughter/white father relationship summed.

LOL

[mohann2007]

Can someone look at men, boys and fathers more monstruously then a feminist "leader"?

[merryredollie]

stupid feminist

[DangerKlose]

I kiss my 18 month old son on the head, hug him and tell him I love him every night. By this woman's logic there's some sort of subconscious homosexual crime that I'm committing against my own son every night. I've got two older daughters and my wife and I do the same thing for them. You kiss and hug your children good night until the age comes when that type of affection is no longer needed nor appropriate, regardless of gender. This feminist troll should go crawl back under her bridge.

Can Germain Greer be any more repulsive?

[Jinda89]

sexualising children is a farce; children do not exhibit sexual tendencies. Any sexualisation realised is merely a projection on the part of the sexualised adult
