Brilliant!

Fabulous and incisive.

As wonderful as she always was, amazing woman 💜💟💚

I saw this the other day - is it an old clip or a new one?

She does nail it ❤️

We should watch this everyday. It is brilliant.

Needapadlockonmyfridge · 11/03/2023 12:04

She is bloody wonderful.

Floisme · 11/03/2023 12:07

I think it's from a few years ago - she says at one point that she's 80 and she's older than that now and, last time I heard, was living quietly in Australia.
It's still bloody great and she absolutely nails it.
We need to cherish her while we still can.

Floisme · 11/03/2023 12:08

Ah sorry, I missed that HopRockers had already answered.

OytheBumbler · 11/03/2023 12:19

Excellent. This should be shared far and wide!

Ducksinthebath · 11/03/2023 12:42

Amazing. Nails it.

namejump · 11/03/2023 12:48

Wow that's just it isn't, the masquerade reflected back to us as real, she's hit the nail on the head and verbalised what I knew to be the case but didn't know how to say.

Fantastic insightful words.

my mum and I went to a concert a few years back and I realised I was sat next to her. Took all my might to not turn round and say I love you!

Whyjustwhy123 · 11/03/2023 12:54

So true about giving birth and breastfeeding too.

I also met her once - one of the legendary feminists I'm glad I met.

MrsOvertonsWindow · 11/03/2023 13:02

And yes - that's a brilliant interview.

BonfireLady · 11/03/2023 13:10

Very well put and very relevant today.
I had a read through the Tweets and one person said it was the opposite of what she had said previously in a book regarding gender being more important than biology. Perhaps. But a) context is everything (do we know the context of what she said previously? E.g. was she using gender in a "gender stereotypes" way before the word took on extra meaning? or b) have her views changed as she experiences more life and forms different views. Rhetorical questions.
Most importantly, this is a great video and incredibly well articulated, particularly in response to the question midway through. Thank you for sharing.

What was that bloody ridiculous comment from Krishnan Gurumurthy about basically agreeing with the other side and budging up for them?

Wally.

He might just have been giving the common criticism to give her a chance to respond. He was nodded along later. Regardless, it was a great clip.

Thanks for sharing.

God she’s good, I want every teenage girl to watch her!

Daffodilled · 11/03/2023 15:25

Yes, Germaine! Bravo.

Tessisme · 11/03/2023 15:38

Other women say it. But nobody says it like her. Absolutely love Germaine Greer.

From Newsnight in 2015, around the time she was no-platformed from giving a speech at Cardiff University.

Kirsty Wark: If a man has his gender reassigned outwardly and he feels inwardly as a woman, in your view can he be a woman or not?
Germaine Greer: No.
KW: Do you understand how people feel that's insulting?
GG: I don’t care!

She’s great ❤️

Just wish we could people to listen to her... she talks complete and utter sense!
