From ‘Madonna was a middle class girl pretending to be tough’ by Germaine Greer, The Sun, 15th August 2008 ;-
‘US author and feminist Camille Paglia was fooled into saying Madonna was the future of feminism, and feminists who opposed censorship were only too ready to believe it.
Then she married English movie director GUY RITCHIE and started penning children’s books.
..One of Madge’s problems is that, despite her performances of bisexuality, she’s straight. What she really needs is a wife.’
~o0o~
How dare Madonna get married.. to a man !
This is the greatest riddle of feminism, and one that won’t go away. Why does the author feel that she has the right to be judgemental about how another woman chooses to use her ’empowerment’? Isn’t that judgement itself an act of disempowerment?
Isn’t it now politically incorrect to ‘judge’ people, anyway ? We all know how much feminism loves political corrrectness!
There is another example of this here !
Feminism frees women to be what they want to be.. as long as what they want to be is ANTI-MALE!

So the Old Crone who dumped on Steve Irwin when he died is now Trashing the “Material Girl”. Wow imagine that a Celebrity and Entertainer who is not as represented, in other words not what their image or carefully promoted Image is. I am shocked… not really, Germaine its always been about the money. Madonna is a Brand, the real person, is only known to the people she lives with. And Feminists are fools to think she is what she appears to be. She is as changeable as Hilliary Clinton the Brand. Not as represented.
Get over it. This week we have had Roseanne Barr dumping on Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Saying they are vacuous, evil, and stuck on stupid. Barr is no longer relevant and is grasping at straws for attention.
What does matter? In Columbus Ohio the Columbus Dispatch reports that a 15 year old Boy raped by a 19 year Old Woman. Must pay Child Support to his Rapist. Yeah you have got to love the US Courts.
Hulk Hogan won a legal battle with his Ex wife who is stupping a 19 year old boy toy, younger than her Son. While she tries to wrest more money out of Terry G. Bollea.
Phil Collins of Genesis fame is going through a Divorce with his Third Wife. And will pay out $2 Million more than McCartney did to his ex Wife. So far Phil has shelled out $80 Million to his Ex Wives for Divorce. Some of us Guys are hard headed, and hard to live with.
Heather Mills publicist who is owed over $100K in fees, reported that Heather Mills lied about abuse from McCartney it never happened! And the media has virtually ignored it.

Madonna seems as good as any example of “the future of feminism” – she’s vain, ambitious, and not especially talented
When I heard she was studying religion I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry – this woman will tell us about contemplation and humility?

The article you posted illustrates that Anti-Male hate is no different from Antisemitism!
Both are ugly and equally deplorable.
Yup I’m glad you are unmasking a hate movement disguised as a civil rights movement.

The endorsement of Sarah Palin by the President of the Los Angeles Chapter of NOW reveals a split within the Feminist Movement. Between they dysfunctional and mentally ill Man Haters. And normal Women who don’t identify with Feminists. It seems 75% of US Women are reluctant to call themselves Feminists, because they have Husbands or Men in their Lives. Have or Want Children, and don’t despise Men. Many are Pro Life not for Abortion, have Libertarian or Conservative views and don’t fit the narrative of the Gender Feminist movement. Oops the truth is out Feminism is a Scam.
Palin represents Millions of Women. Whats more even the Huffington Post is saying her Marriage to Todd Palin is a happy one. Where he is the primary Caregiver is openly proud of his wife. Is a Macho Tough Guy, who the Women are drooling over. Who is a Proud Father, and a Good Dad. Who clearly loves his new, Down’s Syndrome Son Trig. And they have a happy albeit non traditional Marriage.
The First Dude of Alaska is clearly happy in the Bedroom with his attractive and Feminine wife. Who eschews pantsuits for Dresses and high Heels. And he is handsome, virile, and openly Masculine. No Beta Male there. No Wimpy Quiet weak emasculated Husband. Palin has openly stated that she loves having Sex with her Virile Husband. In this case it was the Men who swooned. Lucky SOB. This is how Marriage should be. A couple who are committed to each other, enjoy each other’s company. And love being intimate together.
Feminism has made life unbearable for Both Genders. Someday the Women will realize the bill of goods they have been sold and kick their Lesbian Man Hating Sisters to the curb. This viewpoint is shared with the CEO of the International Women’s Forum also.

To khankrumthebulgar’s insightful remarks I’ll just add that Germaine Greer is also a “celebrity and entertainer.” Her adopted role is one of peddling shocking sexual filth. Greer’s mad because Madonna is encroaching on Greer’s turf, there’s no other reason for Greer’s pique.
