"Germaine Greer. Just because you own half the town doesn't mean that you have the power to run the rest of us. For twenty-three years I've been dying to tell you what I thought of you! And now... well, being a Christian woman, I can't say it!" ~ Auntie Em

Quick, someone get a bucket of water! :-)

Left wingers love to spit on the dead.

They have a long history of doing just that.

Besides---she get her name in the paper.

[Kitten Festival]

Cats are too good for her. Maggots and cockroaches are more her speed.

[Wycowboy]

Looks like the syphilis has gotten to her brain.

"...why did she feel it was so damn important to SHARE it?"

It sure got Daddy's attention, didn't it? Just like when she was a little girl.

[SuziQ]

Even if she thought this, why did she feel it was so damn important to SHARE it?

Because she is such an elitist, she believes that she is more intelligent and wise than everyone else, and we all can benefit from her utterings.

64 YEAR-OLD FEMINIST COLLECTS AND PUBLISHES NUDE PHOTOS OF BOYS, YOU KNOW, FOR FUN. By Damion Matthews 08.13.03

Is Germaine Greer: A.) an intellectual far ahead of her time. B.) a feminist who nobly breaks outmoded social dictates, or. C.) a dirty old woman who should be sent swiftly on her way?

Such questions are being asked as word gets out about her new book, "The Beautiful Boy," which includes hundreds of photos of naked and semi-naked boys, and a lengthy essay on "why boys have always been the world's pin-ups." It won't be published until November, but it's already dusted-up controversy as people stampede to either attack or defend Greer's efforts.

The 64-year old author intends the book to be an appreciation of "the short-lived beauty of boys," but has recently admitted some will read it and call her a pedophile: "It's going to get me in a lot of trouble."

For Germaine Greer, getting into trouble is just part of the job. Afterall, she was the first woman of the 20th century to make controversy a career choice. She has always been one to shock.

While at college in the '50s, the student newspaper called her "Germaniac Queer" for her unusual appearance and personality. In the '60s she became involved in the British rock scene, and gained notoriety for espousing sexual promiscuity, pornography, and group sex. And since the publication of her first book in 1970, "The Female Eunuch," she has consistently made headlines around the world for her ideas on sex, politics and culture.

For William Feaver, the British art critic and biographer of Lucian Freud, Greer's shock tactics have become predictable.

"Germaine Greer is a big name with a big mouth," he recently said. "First she was the great female liberationist. Next, with "The Change," it was the menopause; then with "The Whole Woman," it was how tough motherhood is. Now it’s her obsession with young boys."

And in a July edition of the Sydney Morning Herald, Australia's most prominent female columnist said Greer provokes controversy as a marketing ploy, using "the cheapest trick" to do so: Breaking taboo.

In her scathing piece about Greer's book, which she hadn't even seen, Miranda Devine wrote, "If there's a taboo left, she'll break it. And since one of the few remaining taboos in Western liberal democracies is pedophilia, that's the arena she's most recently entered," claiming that "the taboo against pedophilia is nothing to her."

"If the ultimate evolution of Western liberal democracy requires the removal of all taboos, the destruction of family life and religion, Greer's sanctioned pedophilia, sexualised children, and padded bras for eight-year-olds, then who wants it? I would rather wear a burqa than have my eight-year-old child become a sex object," she wrote.

To Ms. Devine's thinking, Greer's interest in young men is the sort of thing to bring about the end of Western civilization altogether.

The newspaper followed up on Devine's article with a somewhat lengthy letter from a reader, Georgia Lewis, who said Greer's books is "just the right tragic little marketing ploy." ...

Gernmaine Greere = Sour faced, crepey throated, saggy titted, mean spirited, old commie lesbian!

I know some young guys just like Steve. They do not push the boundaries for the camera. They do it for the thrill of getting up close and personal with the animals. They do take risks but the risks are tempered by their experience and high alert awareness. These guys are never casual or wreckless. Risk takers, yes. But no more so than a sky diver, mountain climber or any other adventurer with high skills.
Steve built a reputation on the perception that he took unnecessary risks. The showmanship was his ability to make it look more dangerous than it was. He was always hyping the danger and had the genius to make it look just as breath taking.
I have worked with alligators, no crocs. Also worked with vipers in the wild and captivity. I prefer wild as safer. Captive handling creates too much comfort level.
My real passion is fish. They are far more dangerous than land animals, even in a home aquarium.

Great pix. Man, I love that movie! There's a quote for EVERY occasion to be found there, LOL! :)

[ZULU]

I appreciate and respect your commnets and he was a showman.

I worked with both alligators and crocs. Alligators are less aggressive, and, at least in my perspective, not as wiley as crocs.

Cuban crocs were particuarly aggressive as I recall, although of them can be difficult.

I wouldn't waste a stamp on the dopey cow!

This Germaine Greer sounds like the Aussie version of Andrea Dworkin..Just another femNazi dyke who is ticked off that she is a dyke.

I like this paragraph I found in Wikipedia.....

"On April 23, 2000, Greer was taken hostage by Karen Burke, a nineteen-year-old student from the University of Bath who had been writing to Greer, and who eventually broke into her home in Essex, tied Greer up in the kitchen, and proceeded to smash up the contents of the house with a fireplace poker and rip the telephone from the wall. Dinner guests eventually found Greer lying in a distressed state on the floor, with Burke hanging onto her legs, shouting "Mummy, mummy". Burke was arrested and charged with assault and unlawful imprisonment, and was later sentenced to two years' probation. Greer was not hurt and held a press conference in which she told reporters: "I am not angry, I am not upset, I am not hurt. I am fine. I haven't lost my sense of humour. I am not the victim here. Ever since I published The Female Eunuch there's been an off-chance that some nutter is going to pick me off, judging by the hostility in the letters."

"I am not angry, I am not upset, I am not hurt. I am fine. I haven't lost my sense of humour. I am not the victim here."

She`s not the victim here? So what is she? Maybe a lesbian who had her fantasy fulfilled?

[Screamname]

I would say she is more of a femnazi dyke than a pedo...She just has a fascination with young boys because those are the only males she can control.
