Germaine Greer claims British troops could turn into rapists | Mail Online
Mail Online ^ | Saturday, June 11th, 2011 | Daily Mail Reporter

Miss Greer, an academic at the University of Warwick, was asked on Thursday's show whether David Cameron should send ground troops to Libya in light of the rape threat.

Luis Moreno-Ocampo, the International Criminal Court's top prosecutor, is investigating evidence Gaddafi hoped to raise Libyan soldiers' sex drive to help them spread terror. He believes hundreds of women could have been raped by regime forces.

Miss Greer said: "Rape is always present where you have slaughter and you don't have to have a government fiat [decision] to do it. One of the interesting things you might ask about what happens if we send in ground troops is how will we be sure they won't do a bit of raping in their turn?"

She said claims Gaddafi had handed out Viagra to spur on attackers were "completely demented".

"I think in this case one of those legends is going to appear about the hated enemy," said the Australian women's lib campaigner.

Just because she's a hateful person, doesn't mean she's not right about one thing (only) -- the meme-building that's been going on about Gaddafy's forces systematically raping everyone they find in rebel zones.

Holy cr@p, Germaine Greer was already middle-aged when I was in Vietnam in 1972 and she was calling us warmomgers and babykillers along with Jane Fonda, I mean WTF?

Is she after the Helen Thomas Superannuated Irrelevance award, or what?

The bitter old crone probably hasn’t seen a penis in half a century, that might explain her fascination with rape by authority figures(soldiers)...

All this talk about the “women” being raped....what about the boys? The Nazis raped the Hitler Youth and the boys in the concentration camps regularly...they would rather rape boys than women in Germany. Of course, they raped the women to get them pregnant but for their sexual pleasure they went after the boys. Same with the Afghanis===they would much rather rape boys and men.

There never seems to be any talk or concern about the boys when THEY are victimized more than women. The UN guys would rape the boys more than girls also in the African nations, but you don’t hear about that either.

Just asking...bet when DADT is repealed we will have just that many more boy victims. It seems that pederasty has a direct connection to homosexuality.

Here is a paragraph from a convicted boy molester:

“The scandal intensified later in 2002 when the church released Shanley’s 800-page personnel file. Despite church teachings, he argued for acceptance of homosexuality and pushed for gay rights. He called himself a “sexual expert” and advertised his counseling services in the alternative press.”

-- the meme-building that's been going on about Gaddafy's forces systematically raping everyone they find in rebel zones.

Same as Kosovo, Bosnia-Herzegovina, ad nauseam. If you attract the kinetic attention of the US the enemy forces will be accused of mass rape as part of the script from the ladies at the State Department. I suspect it expedites the funding or something! But, Greer is as responsible for this development as anybody.

When will Ms Germy learn? Projection of your fantasies does not constitute a viable world view.

Australian women's lib campaigner.

She hasn't been that for a generation. By the mid-70s she had settled on her chosen life: Outrageous English academic eccentric and Big Brother contestant.

I thought she made her career on the thesis that every man was a rapist. If so, then any subset of men would also be rapists, and the story isn't news.

Maybe I am confuding her with Susan Brownmiller. They all start to meld together. Friedan might have had four poorly trained brain cells, and that's about it.

By slandering British soldiers with mythical rape fantasies, she's providing cognitive cover and protection for the fact that rape is a part of Muslim culture, practiced by Muslim combatants and supported by Shariah law.

She's a conniving Leftist pig, helping to protect Muslim rape - in the name of protecting women.

She's filth.

By 1972 Greer would identify as an anarchist communist, close to Marxism.

Insulting and stupid, she is lucky that generations of those “rapists” have been defending with their lives her right to make such idiotic statements.

She’d fit right in with a few US Congressmen that criticized the U.S. Military during Dubya’s tenure.

Greer’s nutty opinion was the standard opinion of most feminists thirty years ago. Susan Brownmiller, another nutty fem Nazi, wrote a book called “Against Our Will” where she basically stated all men are potential rapists. Which is like saying all women are potential baby-killers. Such was the hate towards men exhibited by those “wonderful” feminists.
