Born 29 Jan 1939, writer/activist Germaine Greer. Her ideas created controversy ever since her 1st book, The Female Eunuch (1970), made her a household name. It argued that women were forced to assume submissive roles in society to fulfil male fantasies of what being a woman was. #GermaineGreer

Released October 1970, The Female Eunoch by Germaine Greer. Its thesis is that women have been "castrated" by societal conditioning, separating them from their own libido and natural desires to render them docile and submissive—essentially "eunuchs" in a patriarchal society. #GermaineGreer

"Many a housewife staring at the back of her husband's newspaper or listening to his breathing in bed is lonelier than any spinster in a rented room."

Hmmm ...mijn motto over mannen tijdens de studietijd na een ONS: zonder koffie de deur uit.
Nurture, lieve dames + heren. Breng het de heren en dames bij van jongs af aan.
Latten, niet samenwonen! Dan kom je niet zonder woning en inkomen. Variatie op dat thema mag

‘Once she was Jan, I never thought of her as anything other than a woman’: Jan Morris remembered by her son
When celebrated writer Jan Morris published a memoir about her gender reassignment in 1974, it brought trans identity to public attention. Fifty years on, her son Mark reflects on the flawed woman he ...

women will make politics
irrelevant
the opposite to patriarchy
is not matriarchy
but fraternity
it's women who are going to have to
break this spiral of power
and find the trick of cooperation

Been listening to that rake #LouisTheroux gabbing away with the Dame Dowager of Feminism, #GermaineGreer.
How he does love asking ye oldie battes rude questions!
And she "literally" answers them all. Way, way too literally!
I do love her but she truly can be the most humourless old so and so.

DYK #GermaineGreer refuted #SigmundFreud’s castration complex in her 1970 “The Female Eunuch”? She declared she was not a broken man & that being a woman had nothing to do with #PenisEnvy or #castration. Ghosts of #WmnHist still haunt. HowSexGotScrewedUp.com

Isn't she marvellous. Her expression says it all. This is what #GermaineGreer meant when she was shot down for saying "don't be a victim" to raped women.

Where Monty Python associated Australia with ocker Bruces, the Goodies opted for equally ocker Germaines! A backhanded tribute to second-wave feminism? The Super Chaps knew Germaine Greer from their Footlights days (and other pre-Goodies ventures). #GermaineGreer #MontyPython #Goodies50

Reading #GermaineGreer 's #TheFemaleEunuch at the moment. Even as a lifelong feminist, this is opening my eyes to some attitudes I'd not realised before (eg: Anaïs Nin - a patriarchal tool? Mind you - I always thought she might be a bloke writing under a female pseudonym!)
