Feminist Greer slams Steve's antics

AS glowing tributes and praise for Steve Irwin filled newspapers and television screens around the world, fellow Australian Germaine Greer launched a distasteful tirade on the much-loved Crocodile Hunter yesterday.
Most London papers carried sympathetic news articles, features, columns and obituaries mirroring the disbelief felt in Australia.
But Greer launched a scathing attack on Irwin, declaring "the animal world has finally taken its revenge".
In her column in The Guardian newspaper, Greer said the wildlife warrior displayed the "sort of self-delusion it takes to be a real Aussie larrikin".
"There was no habitat, no matter how fragile or finely balanced, that Irwin hesitated to barge into," she wrote. "Every creature he brandished at the camera was in distress."

""The animal world has finally taken its revenge, but probably not before a whole generation of kids in shorts seven sizes too small ..."
We wouldn't be hearing a peep out of this ridiculous, militant vaginist if Irwin weren't male.
Hey,Germaine....what do you think will be written when *you* go???!!!
A confirmation that feminists are not ugly broads both inside and outside, they are such a disgusting and miserable lot that have no class and dignity.
From Wikipedia: "Larrikinism is the name given to the Australian folk tradition of irreverence, mockery of authority and disregard for rigid norms of propriety. Larrikinism can also be associated with self-deprecating humour."
Except perhaps for the last part, didn't that used to describe Greer?
You know you want her.
Wow. It's a good thing Australians love their beer, or this bag would never get any. (Personally, I'd have died of alcohol poisoning hours before this turd would start looking human).
She looks like an older, droopier version of ... oh, what's her name, the lesbian talkshow host? Not Rosie O'Donnell, the skinny one.
This is the "lady" -- posing for her portrait....
Nice, huh?
Semper Fi
These types seem to do that when they need attention - not when there is an issue in need of an offered solution.
Germaine should look over her shoulder after a comment like that. The good book warns from Proverbs 17:5
5Those who mock the poor insult their Maker; those who are glad at calamity will not go unpunished.
The animal is Greer! The man hasn't been dead a whole day, he leaves behind a wife and two small children, even if you disapproved of his program this is NOT the time! What if his wife or family sees this? What a heartless person Greer must be!
She saw the funeral procession go by, and decided to hitch a ride atop the coffin.
hahah, great picture. What a witch. His body is barely cold.
Oh, my--you got me with that one! Thanks--needed a great laugh. I'm still laughing--and it's kind of weird being no one is in my office with me...
You ever notice that most "feminists" aren't very feminine?
I'm in distress just listening to this wench. But, then again, it doesn't matter since I'm human.
I know Croc Hunter....but Greer who?
