Speaking at International Women's Day on the Gold Coast, Dr In-their-face spat bullets about a Holden car advertisement which shows a woman asking her partner about his fantasies before he drifts off on a daydream about "doing daring things in a four-wheel drive" with another woman by his side.
"Why haven't plate-glass windows in Holden showrooms been exploding all over Australia" she asked. "How much humiliation are you women up for? I promise you, they wouldn't dare do it in Europe." She said Australians were lazy. She's not wrong. Aussies are the laziest citizens in the world.
More gems followed: New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark was Greer's ideal female leader. On the two women who look to be contending in the next US election, she compared Condoleeza Rice to Cruella DeVil and said Hilary Clinton was too closely linked to husband Bill. Neither are the answer to America's terminal woes.
Australia's nationalist scum will leap to their weapon's cupboards at her effrontery yet again, but she's right on all counts.
Meh...the words 'Germaine' and 'Greer' when placed next to each other tend to make me nauseous. And I'm not right wing by any means.
