I’ve just had a call from a lady supporter to say she heard an
interview of Germaine Greer on BBC radio this morning, and she assumed
I’d heard about it. I hadn’t – surprisingly, with hindsight.
Ms Greer admitted that the central thesis of The Female Eunuch
(1970) – that most men are misogynists – was a fabrication, a lie. She
went on to say she’d been utterly amazed when it was widely believed and
became influential, and went on to say something along the lines of,
‘It’s self-evident that most women hate men as a class, and of course
all feminists do, it’s one of their defining characteristics’.
It’s been 45 years since the damnable book was published, but we tip the hat to Ms Greer for finally admitting the truth. Better late than never.
