I am a great admirer of Germaine Greer, for both THE FEMALE EUNUCH and THE OBSTACLE RACE, important books for me in finding my way as a woman and as an artist. There was nothing "fluffy" about her work, and your reactionary statements demonstrate how little you know about her work.

She started a discourse in Australia that was way over the heads of the women she claimed to represent. Greer will go down in her-story as a fraud.Roll Cage Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14154277038544171706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042413503017463795.post-40400113711812635392016-07-21T23:33:21.942-07:002016-07-21T23:33:21.942-07:00Germaine Greer is originally from Australia.

In 2013, Lynn had written a <i>Reflection on the Feminist Movement</i> that is quite sobering as how difficult it was/still is for us down under.<br /><br />I was there, going through high school, taking in those influences and I hadn't even heard the term patriarchy or even knew how insidious and invisible it was. It had been the air I breathed. If I hold my breath long enough, I might turn blue - like Shiva.<br /><br />Roll Cage Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14154277038544171706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042413503017463795.post-54108669020597233492016-07-18T16:31:07.193-07:002016-07-18T16:31:07.193-07:00Will have to check this out!
