I never thought that I’d agree with Germain Greer about anything.
The world is far crazier than I imagined it to be when I was young, I guess.
They’re psychiatric messes.
Over and out.
Is that like Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize?
That's a man, baby!
transvestites don’t want to be women. They want to be devastatingly cute thirteen-year-old girls. Forever.
Greer’s conclusion that “the insistence that man-made women be accepted as women is the institutional expression of the mistaken conviction that women are defective males” is an unwitting confession of her obviously disordered reasoning, hatred of men, and self-loathing.
Best opening line ever?
MofC at Oxford: “Ladies and gentlemen, Ms. Germaine Greer.
(polite applause)
GGreer: I’d like to give my appreciation to the students faculty and administration of Oxford for affording this opportunity to be here and speak on the equality of women, world wide.
(polite applause).
Ladies and gentlemen, faculty, students and administration...
HE’S STILL GOT A DICK!
Arthur was exhumed and fresh vomit was found in his casket!
Garson’s claim that women do not realize how much men hate them and how much they are taught to hate themselves is a projection of her own hatred of men and self-loathing onto other women. She is so very obviously a sick, twisted, narcissist.
Oh! You are SOOOOOOO
spot on!
That's what I thought when I thought it. That's why I turned her words around.
Sometimes I amaze myself.
Wow. What hate filled beings those people are.
They hate everything.
However, I can’t say that I disagree with her stand on the likes of Jenner and the whole transgender movement.
It’s the rest of the stuff that is just satanic.
When then they fail, all of them.
BTW, I don't think I have ever seen a devastatingly cute thirteen-year-old, even when I was thirteen and found them interesting.
That's a LOT of projection going on there.
The only one who hates women is her. She clearly hates herself and men.
She's just loaded with it and it shows by her claims that that's what all these other people she doesn't know are thinking.
Not true. That's why I never try to understand women, because women understand women, and they hate each other.
I normally am not a crowd follower to the degree of actively going out of my way to not be like everyone else.
But in this case, I'll make an exception.
And the nice thing is, it will p!ss off so many liberal feminists.
I guess I don't mind being part of the crowd if I know it torques the feminists so much.
LOL!
I hear you.
The Manifesto opens with the following declaration:[33]
“Life” in this “society” being, at best, an utter bore and no aspect of “society” being at all relevant to women, there remains to civic-minded, responsible, thrill-seeking females only to overthrow the government, eliminate the money system, institute complete automation and eliminate the male sex.
Solanas begins by presenting a theory of the male as an “incomplete female” who is genetically deficient due to the Y chromosome.[34] According to Solanas, this genetic deficiency causes the male to be emotionally limited, egocentric, and incapable of mental passion or genuine interaction. She describes the male as lacking empathy and unable to relate to anything apart from his own physical sensations.[35] The Manifesto continues by arguing that the male spends his life attempting to become female, and thereby overcome his inferiority. He does this by “constantly seeking out, fraternizing with and trying to live though and fuse with the female.” Solanas rejects Freud’s theory of penis envy, and argues that men have “pussy envy”. Solanas then accuses men of turning the world into a “shitpile” and presents a long list of grievances.[36]
The bulk of the Manifesto consists of a litany of grievances against the male sex. The grievances are divided into the following sections:[37]
War
Niceness, Politeness and “Dignity”
Money, Marriage and Prostitution, Work and Prevention of an Automated Society
Fatherhood and Mental Illness (fear, cowardice, timidity, humility, insecurity, passivity)
Suppression of Individuality, Animalism (domesticity and motherhood) and Functionalism
Prevention of Privacy
Isolation, Suburbs and Prevention of Community
Conformity
Authority and Government
Philosophy, Religion and Morality Based on Sex
Prejudice (racial, ethnic, religious, etc.)
Competition, Prestige, Status, Formal Education, Ignorance and Social and Economic Classes
Prevention of Conversation
Prevention of Friendship and Love
“Great Art” and “Culture”
Sexuality
Boredom
Secrecy, Censorship, Suppression of Knowledge and Ideas, and Exposés
Distrust
Ugliness
Hate and Violence
Disease and Death
Due to the aforementioned grievances, the Manifesto concludes that the elimination of the male sex is a moral imperative.[38] It also argues that women must replace the “money-work system” with a system of complete automation, as this will lead to the collapse of the government and the loss of men’s power over women.[39]
In order to accomplish these goals, the Manifesto proposes that a revolutionary vanguard of women be formed. This vanguard is referred to as SCUM. The Manifesto argues that SCUM should employ sabotage and direct action tactics rather than civil disobedience, as civil disobedience is only useful for making small changes to society. In order to destroy the system, violent action is necessary: “If SCUM ever marches, it will be over the President’s stupid, sickening face; if SCUM ever strikes, it will be in the dark with a six-inch blade.”[40]
The Manifesto ends by describing a female-dominated utopian future in which there is no money, and disease and death have been eliminated. It argues that men are irrational to defend the current system and should accept the necessity of their destruction.[41]

Leftist wacko food fight.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that women don't hate each other all that much but rather are jealous of each other.
They see each other as competition for perceived shortage of desirable males, and as that pool shrinks, it's only going to get worse.
Of course, it doesn't help that the media and advertising project an image of women that very few real life women can ever attain to, with perfect features, beautiful, silky hair, flawless airbrushed, tan skin, slender, graceful, perfectly proportioned.
Looks are valued above all because the understanding among women is that is how you attract men. Men aren't interested in character as much as looks and when men go ga-ga over beautiful women, it doesn't help either.
So they are jealous of each other and are competing for the men.
