Germaine Greer on women's liberation, the trans community and her rape 

Mainstream liberals are the new conservative. Conservative is a socially normative rigid state of mind not an economic position. There's nothing legitimately economically conservative about corporate capitalism.

@mikechrishill how is she a fascist? Weirdo.

Ha, it's true!

Nah, she still offends most conservatives. You only have to attach feminist to a name to offend most conservatives.

@mikechrishill what a right load of shite 😂

Barnabybright 🤣🤣🤣

Thank you! They keep trying to ram rod and weasel her into being a monster when she just simply speaks her mind. I saw an interview where the interviewer kept trying to make her be a monster that rages against trans people. Blaming her for inciting violence and assigning guilt to her that is just ridiculous. It shows how people that constantly squawk about tolerance and acceptance really can't accept or tolerate that someone doesn't agree with their drama.

@@eblisoshaughnessy8418 No... That's not true though is it?

Eblis O'Shaughnessy How?

"The Beautiful Boy (or just The Boy[1]) is a book by Germaine Greer, published in 2003. Its avowed intention was "to advance women's reclamation of their capacity for and right to visual pleasure". It is a study of the youthful male face and form, from antiquity to the present day, from paintings and drawings to statuary and photographs. The cover picture caused minor controversy when the subject of the photograph, Björn Andrésen, a Swedish actor and musician who played Tadzio in Death in Venice (billed by the director Luchino Visconti as "the most beautiful boy in the world") stated in the press that he objected to the picture having been used without his permission.[2][3] The book contains some 200 pictures of boys through the ages, and is a history of boys in art. Pictures and discussions range from Cupid to Elvis, Boy George, Kurt Cobain, and Jim Morrison. Greer has described the book as "full of pictures of 'ravishing' pre-adult boys with hairless chests, wide-apart legs and slim waists". She goes on to say that, "I know that the only people who are supposed to like looking at pictures of boys are a subgroup of gay men," she wrote in London's Daily Telegraph. "Well, I'd like to reclaim for women the right to appreciate the short-lived beauty of boys, real boys, not simpering 30-year-olds with shaved chests."[4] She was criticized for these comments with some writers labeling her a paedophile.[5] Germaine Greer responded vigorously on Andrew Denton's television talk show Enough Rope.[6]" -Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beautiful_Boy?fbclid=IwAR1b9WojCgy7YOig2T_uCiXHtTj5xau5NXXi4LLh0-xzWZakV6jUOVJRLWE Female Pedophiles: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-slz08xPcThQ.html

@@vgil1278 saying a group of people don't really exist isn't just an opinion tethered to nothing. it is used as a justification for being cruel and existentially threatening to a marginilized group. No one is saying she doesn't have the right to hold hurtful awful opinions, but don't try and muzzle her critics, that is hypocritical.

Do you really think trans people and specially trans woman are delud about their own genitals? I don't think. When talking about people who menstruate is clearly used to include trans man, it's not that trans woman don't want to talk about pregnancy/menstruation because they feel excluded but more so because when people bring menstruation and pregnancy is usually to implied that trans woman are not "real woman" which I think that if you say that trans woman are not "real woman" you mean "real woman" as cis woman which they're obviously not; they're trans woman and I don't think trans woman say otherwise, anyway, people will always find ways to offend trans woman and disguise it as "concerns" and "facts".

@@ritageorge8748 The same question "What were you wearing?" was asked in September 2003.

100%. Persecute. The men should get close to life.

I'm totally shocked at her attitude on this, disgusted actually.

A very tricky issue that few people feel they can honestly speak about. One of the things that rarely gets discussed because it simply sounds so damn awful:. The popular notion that rape is one of the worst and most traumatizing violent crimes comes from old gender stereotypes wherein women are presumed to be weak, vulnerable, emotionally unstable and fragile. If you pay close attention, you can find those old sexist ideas lurking in the background in many discussions of the crime of rape and in popular media. There's an awful serialized American crime television show which is very guilty of this: Law and Order: Special Victims. I have never seen a work of fiction stuggle so much with how to represent the subject of rape - and every crime in that television show which the detectives go about trying to solve is a rape. It speaks volumes.

Wow, a sensible comment when was the last time I saw that on youtube

indeed.

Saw this video a while ago and this will remain in HISTORY. This woman is one if the Very FEW who spoke what everyone really thinks

I have some disagreements and objections, but if I set those aside, I also admire her. I do find that her rhetorical presentation can sometimes be a little too bombastic. It usually works, but sometimes backfires in a bad way. Her attitudes about transwomen, in particular, veer off into vulgarity of a kind that is far too reminiscent of how true misogynists once spoke about women (and some still do, if they are shameless enough.) If she doesn't want to speak about transgender issues, then why does she seem to have so much to say. And whence this apparently unavoidable instinct to, as she says "be insulting" towards them? On a human level, this is a little bizarre. A gentleman at a party I attended once started saying quite hateful things about women - true vulgar misogyny in its pure form - and he concluded by saying, "But I really just don't care that much about women or women's rights. It isn't my thing. There are better causes to fight for." My reponse to him could be the same to Greer speaking about trans people, "If you truly don't care, why have you just spent all this time saying so much about them?"

shes great, but is it patriarchy that has removed her from view?

Agreed. Intellectually she is a force to be reckoned with 😊 I find her straight talking approach refreshing. Her opinions on transgender are considered a bone of contention by media but I think most important thing is not to close debate down because agreement isn’t met instantly. Understanding is never discovered in this manner. The media in order to get a sensational story seem in my opinion to relish chance of dividing debates on topics instead of closing down intellectual debate it should be opened up to all without the threat of closing down individuals because they don’t agree with everything that one might believe.

It sounds nice. But of course she's a feminist. Feminism has a history which includes debates between different ideas

yes it is beautiful.... but she is able to say that, because she is not forced to be at the kitchen stove raising 5 children.... which can be a nice thing, but women were not able to do the things she is doing.... there were very few women that could write a book.... not to mention read a book.... thats what I think she is missing.... its ok, that women and men have different roles... but the point should be... that not every woman wants to be a nurse, mother or any other "woman" role.... is it so difficult to understand, that there are women who are great bussinesswomen or managers...and so on.... its strange.

Germaine Greer is ageless and infinitely intelligent.

I also love people who disregard political correctness.

Political correctness, along with identity politics and woke culture has ruined the society.

@@bonniehill9518 I don't but good on Germaine for speaking her truth. Even if I disagree with it.

I disagree. I am glad you were able to overcome rape. That is not the same for everyone. Many rape victims have to struggle with PTSD, Anxiety, and trauma. In order to regain themselves it takes a lot of therapy, spiritual intervention,etc. Rape is an extremely violent act. Many women had unwanted pregnancies during rape. I worked with many people who were rape. I can’t make light of this.

@Lee Ok. I see where you are coming from.

I think that she seems to exaggerate when taking about what women are told after being raped. No therapist would tell a victim that they just continue being "not okay.". So why does she insist otherwise. I detect a pattern in her thought and rhetoric, as much as i agree with her on several points. She often caricatures her opposition. I don't think she even realizes she's doing it. Perhaps it is her age. Forty years ago, what is now a caricature might have then been fairly accurate. But these days it looks quite like she is erecting straw man arguments. That's unfortunate, because I do think feminists of her generation are very accomplished.

I’m glad you didn’t let this deviant control your future and kept your strength through this disgusting behaviour

@@juliecarne7706 The scary part is the CSA perpetrator was a school head master, he's dead now.

I make this observation regarding trans identity and gender: You have to train your entire life to be a woman - a little bit of external 'panel beating' does not turn a Honda hatchback into a Maserati'

@theglaucoon Con That's the first thing that comes to your mind!?! Wow.

I understand where you're coming from however rape can be very hard to prove. The police have a duty to look at each case objectively and if they don't have enough solid evidence to make a charge then they can't do it. They can't act like they belive the victim or the offender because it can taint the case.

But youre playing the victim easy enough now... perhaps the police were doing you a favour informing you of no evidence and perhaps it was your word against his. Without trauma/wounding internally or externally, it very much is your word against his thankfully. Did you think he could be prosecuted with just your word?

Wow Carol, that is appalling. I hope you have a chance to air that grievance to them some day.

every so called 'world' is already a personalized aka mental projection .. [Being Human On Earth]

It is not the rape which destroys your life it is the patriarchy. That is her point. Not that rape isn’t bad, but that it’s a manifestation of a much bigger and more harmful issue

One thing that struck me is her story of her ‘mates’ that stood up for her, named and shamed her rapist *in her presence*. Whether she realizes or not, that had to be INCREDIBLY powerful as an acknowledgment of what happened to her. I’ve heard many rape stories - hers is the ONLY one I’ve heard where the woman got immediate, reparative support from MEN condemning the actions of another MAN. Powerful.

​@georgiemerry8929 how?

Yes and quite clearly, that was the social conditioning of that time. Nowadays however, you would be convinced by those in authority that you would never recover from the experience, that the damage was irreparable, and sent for a lifetime of therapy. Which doesn't help anyone to put the experience into a healthy perspective.

I was 18 but still a virgin 1st time. No way would I tell anyone. One goes home baths and attempts to.put it in the past.

I was 18 in the military and raped by 3 different drill sergeants, on 3 separate episodes and when it was reported by our female drill Sargeant the company First Sargeant wanted to hold me accountable to protect his 3 drill Sargeants. Fat lot of good that did me. It's taken years for women to have voting rights, sports, and bathrooms, and now we have men that decide l'm a woman now and have begun to erase that work, and young girls supporting them don't understand the risk it puts them in until they are hurt, raped, traumatized, because unfortunately they can't see long term, but we have the foresight of looking back.

I’m sorry that happened to you. It was not your fault.

Me too, it was my fault for being stupid and drunk. Although I was only 17. I've lived with the shame my whole life

That'll do.

@@crowbar9566 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Can I assume from that,that you like her?!

Being a f'ing badass isn't much use. Instead we need to be looking at the real facts. This ex-police officer has the real facts about domestic violence. If we face up to the fact that both women and men can be aggressors in domestic violence, then we can start tackling the poor communication skills and bad drinking habits which are the real drivers in these situations. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--_7z72dbDEo.html

I like her too. She wants women to be mentally strong, & she is very mentally strong herself.

I am so proud of her. I remember her first from the days when I got the original Our Bodies Ourselves. She has remained true to the mission and like many authentic critical thinkers will not say something simply because it is en vogue. I think so many people stop listening to her as soon as she says something they are uncomfortable with and lose a brilliant opportunity to have a very rich experience.

easy for you to say if you have never been trans and do not appreciate the hatred of Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist trying to intellectualize away your existence. Having people feel free to say you can't or shouldn't exist is a cruelty I wouldn't wish on anyone. You who are agreeing with her here need to have a conversation with a real live trans person and hear what it is actually like instead of trying to think us out of existence.

that's not the problem, I don't know who's party you want me to be touting. It isn't that she tells hard truthts to power in the case of her hatred and denial of the existence of trans people. What she is saying and the movement that sprung up around it causes suffering to people, it cause us to have horrendous existential questions with people who blindly take up her poorly thought out arguments on the topic.

@@sirrathersplendid4825 It was a pleasure to watch. In rings a bell. In my youth, I was interviewed by an aggressive reporter from an aggressive political magazine, the stripe of which is not relevant. It concerned a non-political story. What struck me was that the reporter clearly had an agenda because he kept trying to get me to say what he wanted to write. I stuck to my interpretation of the facts instead. He appeared like a lawyer for the opposition in court. I certainly don't have the gift of the gab and was way less cynical in those days, but it helped me see just how manipulative media can be. They tend to be narrative-sellers, not the truth exposers they portray themselves to be. This probably holds across the political spectrum.

@@alegriart There's no pretense here - only insight. You're free to disagree, as you obviously do. Verbal comments are driven by inner belief, and this *is* an interview in which I assume she had time to organize her thoughts for beforehand. It wasn't a passing comment, like what you'd get from a street interview; it's her life's philosophy, one which she formed with her own experiences, and has spoken about at length on numerous occasions, including this one. One doesn't simply dedicate their time to writing books, being interviewed, and speaking in public for no good reason. You shouldn't be so quick to dismiss another's intentions because what they say bothers you. *Why* a person says something is often more important than exactly what they said.

@@alegriart No, Greer is right. I feel like the way people handle rape today is well-intentioned but extremely condescending. Rape has historically not been taken seriously so today we overcompensate by inflating the issue. People try to appear helpful by giving sympathy. But this approach only damages victims rather than empower them. At some point, people need to stop moping, get therapy (if needed) and improve their lives. But people dont want to appear like they are minimising the issue by telling a rape victim to get things in perspective.When in reality thats the only way to help them.

There are a great many variables on both rape and rape victims. She was raped once, by one man. She was an adult at the time. Most importantly, she is a product of her time, a time when most of us didn't report it and simply put it on the back burner. But, tellingly, she remembers every tiny detail of it. If it hadn't affected her, she'd barely remember it. Do you remember in detail the food poisoning you had (one night) 60 years ago? I doubt it. Just an analogy.

Brave post. The Buddha says: "So long as an evil deed has not ripened, the fool thinks it as sweet as honey. But when the evil deed ripens, the fool comes to grief." I think those who abuse are really the fool in the story.

We all do the best we can to cope with the experiences we have. Don't ever think less of yourself for the way you dealt with yours.

God bless you, dear

@FloydTheBarber because women were the property of men so the crime was against men, & I would think to their honour, so when you think of as in patriarchal society that is the worst crime that can be committed to a man, to have someone have their way with their sexual possession. Germaine has never said that rape should not be punished but she explains beautifully, women have been conned into thinking that their lives end if they are raped, when they don't.

Thank you so much for your encouragement to paedophiles. My abuse at my father's hands went on until he (thank God) died. Most of us never get over it. I was severely affected many years before anyone told me that child sexual abuse was a bad thing. If you have D.I.D., like me, who knows which of your personalities commented?

Which should be the starting point of feminism. I wonder if denying the difference between men and women by modern feminists has anything to do with lesbians taking the leading roles in gender studies? Like Judith Butler.

I agree with your comments on this subject. I also feel uncomfortable in her comments on here, and other interviews about rapes and sexual assaults. We are not all as empowered as her, and it impacts everyone differently. I do admire some of her other observations on life and feminism though.

I like the commonsense of this former police officer who has worked with the domestic violence issue for a long time. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--_7z72dbDEo.html

There is a saying: Scratch a liberal, and you can see the fascist underneath. Classic role-reversal at play. These so-called "liberals" are the most dogmatic and intolerant people, the more woke the worse.

This is the first video, out of half a dozen of hers I've seen so far, that allow you to comment; if youtube is censoring her, she must be doing something right. Yea, I'm what the ladies/males that follow her would call an outdated, traditional, sxeist, mysogonist, wife beeter but I agree with her on certain points; especially on her other vids. I guess you could say she's the first feminist I can find middle ground with after being a lifelong "woman hater".

I prefer the plain speaking of this former police officer who gives the real facts on domestic violence. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--_7z72dbDEo.html If we don't deal in real facts, we won't come up with real solutions.

@@MR-nl8xr why did you hate women ?

@@kachi2782 I didn't.

@@MR-nl8xr You refer to yourself as a former ぃlifelong woman hater 。

yes,she is.

She's an idiot.

Yeah a real legend like Margaret Thatcher and every other woman who falsely accuse men of rape. *sarcasm*

@@charleswarren3327 you just said that about yourself bud

You may be interested in Diana Davison who speaks up for the falsely accused. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-o1qN19P2nkg.html

PC, gender ideology, identity politics and woke culture has completely RUINED THE SOCIETY, along with drugs, pornography and prostitution. Trust me guys, all these things are actually inter-linked to each other.

Mimi Lion I completely agree with you, if you let that one act that you had no control over become the only defining feature of your life then you have no life, no agency and are trapped by the actions of malicious person. I think a lot of the comments who hate GG are responding to an unreflective view of her ultimate points. I think she would welcome trans women to the fight for women’s rights ie reproductive freedoms, educational freedoms, economic accessibility etc. But, as she pointed out gays can get married, while US women are being stripped of reproductive rights. I’m not saying it’s sum zero, just the results seem to be.

I have suffered rape and other violent crimes all my life and I also don't feel destroyed. I am neither depressed nor anxious. The only thing that upsets me is that police believe my rapists, who claim I had raped them, and police arrested me for it. To get arrested for the very crime that in reality had been committed against me, and to get accused of rape when in reality I - a WOMAN - was ripped to pieces internally, was more traumatizing than the numerous times I've been raped. But - destroyed, oh no, I'm not destroyed. Do I look destroyed? Just look at my picture - do I look like some destroyed mess with slashed wrists? Far from it - I'm so normal that people always assume I have always had this sheltered life and tons of friends and family (in reality I have none and no support).

@@LittleKitty22 I do hope you feel as empowered as you say but it does puzzle me that you chose something as vulnerable and helpless as "Little Kitty".

@@jackimiller8511 There is a difference between choosing a cute name and feeling all helpless and vulnerable you know... sounds like you need some help to get over your negativity.

Acknowledge trauma, pursue criminal justice (when possible), and then allow yourself to move on and forward in life. Assault isn’t you...it happened to you.

BB Oh thank GOD- I thought I was the only one who felt that way!

Oh is that what it is about? We just call him Tyler Perry.

‘Every time Mrs Brown’s Boys comes on television, I’m vomiting with rage! But who’s going to give me a break?!’ 😂 hahaha I loved this line.

I have never met a feminist who wanted to be like a man. But should we rename the men who want to be like women “maninists” because that would have to be your logical conclusion.
