Gather round - we might be in for a wild ride.

Oh, and I'm blocked by her on Twitter after politely asking if she'd be talking about any GC issues during her shows.

In an interview last June, she said

'Who is your feminist mentor?
I loved Germaine Greer growing up – obviously she’s problematic now – but she wasn’t scared and I absolutely couldn’t imagine not being scared. Also when I was 17, Courtney Love took me under her wing – Suzanne is a bit based on her – I interviewed her a couple of times'.

Jesus wept and I couldn’t have agreed more with that Spiked review of her book.

That Spiked review just perfectly encapsulated what irritates me about CM ! Brilliant .

Gosh, so loyal. Any feminist worth their salt knows that Greer did the heavy lifting. At the very least she isn’t afraid of being disliked and ridiculed by stating her case.
Problematic!

I agree Jelly. Her articles are so juvenile.
I know that she started working at The Times when she was 15, but does she still have to write like one.

‘Your books and your sitcom Raised By Wolves are based on your real life. Do you ever worry that you’ll run out of material?
Within the panoply of fat, clever, working-class girls who really like to shag – I don’t think we’re overserved for those role models yet.’

I think undermining Germaine Greer's legacy is the most anti-feminist action you could take.

I get the feeling that CM only celebrates state-sanctioned 'feminists', like Beyonce or Taylor Swift. The ones the men like.
