Shut up you fucking harlot.Ennaybur said:yeh Zoe, i agree with you there, but I found the conclusion a bit sensational.
and Capt. ghey thats also true.
and i agree with not that bright aswell
........ sounds like im being all saccarine lol
but do you think that if a male had said what germaine said journalists would react by writing about, oh i don't know, him having a small penis or something? i really do not think there would be such a gender-specific attack if it had, indeed, been a male.Captain Gh3y said:So they would have called him something else.
For instance, well, I might call you an anorexic slut, well, it wouldn't make sense if I called brogan that, would it? And really, what isn't sexually creepy about pederastry?
Greer hates on alot of women imo.- He was male, heterosexual
No it has nothing to do with that.... I like most other people read that article not knowing the author... and then I didnt even know who she was when I did see her name (Same for 90% of the people I kno)!!!! Futhermore, I havent seen any difference between female and male views of her, so why the hell would women be having a go at her as well because she represents ther ideals etc? Not to mention that a male author has generated an article supporting her, and I like many others have strongly disagreed with him as well. Im afraid your attempt to turn this into a feminist argument isnt going to work... any continuation should really be done so in a new thread relating to feminism.No, i think you misunderstand. It's not that people are generally angry just because she's woman, but the fact that she is a woman who represents feminist ideals and academia has resulted in a very obviously misogynistic sentiment throughout the comments of those who have lashed out at her.
Haha, dats one ugly croc
Yea, that's a real good thing to be admitting. Probably one of the most famous Australian born accademics and you've never even heard of her.and then I didnt even know who she was when I did see her name (Same for 90% of the people I kno)!!!!
Yeah you hit the nail on the head.... Australian born... thats the extent of it. I dont think many people I know knew exactly who she was either... knew who Steve Irwin was though... thats how insignificant Germaine Greer is when she isnt stirring the pot.Yea, that's a real good thing to be admitting. Probably one of the most famous Australian born accademics and you've never even heard of her.
LolMaybe you don't know many people either?
Maybe so... but I still see Irwins contributions to the environment > Greers contribution to this world.Germaine Greer isn't an insignificant person, you're just measuring wealth not on what ideas/achievements they brought to the world but by how many people knew them, how much 'star status' they had
Dont watch it... and wouldnt watch it if Greer was on.do you not watch... say the history channel?
Im doing accounting, not arts.Or read the things they hand out to you in uni?
Never did any subjects that needed to deal with feminism etcschool?
MOST people dont have a 'feminist perspective' in their topicsI imagine anyone who has looked at a feminist perspective of any topic, would have heard of Germaine Greer.
Because I dont know of some washed up academic who does nothing but stir the pot these days Im insignificant? Lol. Maybe I am, but not for those reasons! I would say it makes her prity insignificant in todays world, unless of course you measure signficance by how much someone can shit the world off?It has nothing to do with her 'insignificance' that you and your friends have never heard of her, but alot more to do with your own.
Am I right or what? Obviously GG gets the most attention, but her comradesCaptain Gh3y said:It's actually more like, the only reason she said anything at all was because:
- He was male, heterosexual
- Had a family and considered it important
- Was popular
- Was successful
- Was respected by the public
- 3 to 5, but not an academic
Which is really enough for anyone to be hated by her types.
Mate I have disagreed with you A LOT in other threads, but on this one you are 100% correct! I mean the whole feminist issue aside (which I agree with you on too), that first part of the first sentence is pretty much it with this soulless person. The dude had a fucking family, it's just disgraceful! Good to see some surfers today giving him a memorial service up in Qld. It really shows how much he did mean to many (I said many not ALL so don't any1 bother to give me crap about it like Germain Greer) common folk in Qld, Australia and the world for that matterbshoc said:More like, how dare she mock someone with family and children so soon after his death, if you think you evoking feminism permits you to spit your hateful crap and get away with saying stuff other people wouldn't, you're wrong. Ever notice thats all that feminsts do? Whine at totaly inapropriate times or scream patriarchy when some dumb bimbo gets fired because she's stupid - its the most stupid ideology ever, nobody holds women back these days (except muslims, but feminists prefer to attack white males because they're assholes) and the only objectification of women is created mostly by women themselves when you try and outdo the other girl, nobody owes women anything extra, not men, not taxpayers etc. If a black woman like Condi Rice or Thatcher can make it to the top, then the barrier is imaginary. Why is it that my university has a womens department and no equivilant one for men? Why is it that so much more money is sunk into womens health then mens health even though men pay the majority of tax, and have a lower life expectancy? Why is it that 9/10 of homeless people are male? Why is it that so many jobs offer backdoors and preferential hiring to women only, even though for all purposes there are many men who are smarter and more suited to the job? Becuase feminist is a hypocritical advocacy of preferential (not equal) treatment of women.
