More on controversy

Lisa,
At this point, I firmly believe that Germaine Greer simply hates women. I'm just tired of this variety of feminism that makes more time for tearing down women than anything else, and I see feminists in the blogosphere do exactly the same thing, and I can't help but think that women like Greer, Paglia, and Burchill simply legitimize the idea that attacking women for their looks, their sexuality, their femininity and so on is somehow feminist.
There’s a lot of tearing down of women in The Whole Woman that’s for sure.
I have to say, I don’t see a lot of evidence that Greer likes women in general. I mentioned this story in my last post on Greer, but I’ll repeat it here. A few years ago I saw her give an interview on a TV show (I think it was Parkinson) in which she said she always had affairs with married men. When he asked whether that gave her any feminist qualms she said it didn’t and she liked to send the men home to their wives smelling of her perfume. She had pure contempt for these women, as if they deserved everything they got for buying into marriage. The personal is political smolitical!
Paglia’s always been a bit of an arse really, so nothing new there.
And Julie Burchill, these days she just seems to be trying to be the most OUTRAGEOUS feminist on the block.

Yowza. Mind you I cut through the verbosity and she chucks out some great ones. That Obama abortion cartoon was indeed just so much vile bullshit. So I can see why she's where she's at.

She's what from now on I'm gonna call an Evangelical Feminist.

I prefer the pithy and brilliant Julie Burchill. That woman can drop kick common sense between the balls at a helluva pace. Most brilliantly on Islam. She used to write for the Guardian until her gushy philo semitism and overt Islam hatred became too much for them.

Show me a frigid women and, nine times out of ten, I'll show you a little man. -Julie Burchill

I know of Julie Burchill, but that’s as far as it goes. Although, thinking about it, I may had read the odd article when she was writing for… was it The Guardian – or more specifically the newspaper’s Saturday magazine supplement – back when it was still broadsheet size.You know what, I’m not persuading anyone about any damn thing. What you like of don’t like, frankly I don’t care. It was only my opinion and the clarification was simply because some folk appeared to be bent out of shape by a previous comment. If I had any sense, I should have left it all alone after mentioning the Space: 1999 homage way up top.There’s always something I find strange with (hardcore) science fiction fans. I’ve had conversations with friends and colleagues about… let’s say crime drama on television. I’ll mention I really like The Wire or the early Milch years of NYPD Blue or The Shield or Homicide: Life on the Street, but I’ve never had time for the growing Law & Order franchise or the CSI spin offs (although I don’t mind the original), or that I thought Life on Mars and it’s sequel was complete baloney and would prefer to watch an old episode of The Sweeney instead. And in response they would talk about their preferences and, if one was a show I’d never bothered with, what they saw in it that made it one of their favourites. So over a coffee or even a couple of pints you’d discuss what was good and what was bad, what worked and what didn’t work. Maybe one or the other of us would walk away figuring it was worth giving a particular show another chance, seeing it now from a different perspective. Either way, it would always be an interesting conversation but never a big deal.But mention to a dedicated science fiction fan that you don’t think much of their favourite shows because [insert informed opinion here] and, unable to have a rational dialogue, they’re ready to chase you down the street jabbing at you with their toy light sabres and plastic Spock ears. (Luckily the nerds wearing the long woollen scarves usually trip themselves up, so they’re never a real bother). That I just don’t get. Sorry.

I can’t abide Julie Burchill. Why did I even start to read that nasty article. Hey ho. lesson learned.
