Feminism is still an ongoing fight to equality. Even now, I can’t believe all the comments are angry at women for wanting to have just as much freedom and power as men, to be given just as much understanding and opportunity. We’re in an interesting time, men had such a tight grip on us and it seems to be a painful release for them. I’d rather live a life away from comfort if it means I get to make my own choices and be myself.
Men in power are the only people with power. The larger population of men don't have any power, they follow orders from elites and politicians. Their physical strength can't be used beyond hard labour for money, they can't use their physical strength to get anything from a woman legally....but guess who has the power to manipulate men, without legal consequences, charge them for money, force them to make a commitment, lead them on etc....a woman! Women generally have sexual powers that are extremely huge and effective in getting almost anything from men. Women are the powerful ones. We often don't acknowledge the fact that theres absolutely nothing a woman cannot achieve with her sexuality, that's power, and there's nothing a man cannot forfeit for sex, that's an extreme weakness! So, who's generally more powerful? In my opinion women! That's why being able to make money is almost the only option men have to stay relevant in the society or relationships, while women have an option of making money or not, either way, women can still get access to money, with their sexuality. Women are far more powerful than men....but they won't admit it, because admitting it might cost them the power at some point, no one knows tomorrow.
Dejaverst Arts Ayodeji Azeez I really love your point! In terms of sexuality women have power, but it is the power men have given us without realizing. If the only thing we were good for for the history of women was being sexy and having children of course we’d learn how to use that to our advantage. I think everyone has a different idea of equality or liberation but I believe men will have to connect into their sexual side in order for all of us to be equals. Men CAN be so sexy, alluring and attractive with the right attitude and confidence, men CAN have a say in the emotional aspects of relationships and speak out about what they want and need. Honestly feminism is resonating with me because I am a woman obviously, but what we need is something beyond that. We need a balancing act for both genders, to learn from each other and have these conversations despite it being really hard to find a middle ground
Germaine said over 40 years ago in Female Eunuch that "women do not know how much men hate them". It's clear in these comments that in certain men's diseased minds, very little has changed, and perhaps in some fractured male minds, the hate has increased and so too the vitriol.
HypnoSucky you have lost the plot ,.....-you said …….."We’re in an interesting time, men had such a tight grip on us and it seems to be a painful release for them" . you HypnoSucky are totally brainwashed by the Feminazi because over the last 50-60 years men have totally bowed down to women. Women are mistaken in their belief of oppression . Look around dopey,-Women wear the pants,- women make the decisions ,- women run the Universities ,- women rule in almost all domains of Government and society . …... These days,- to constructively criticize women is now labeled Hate Speech . I know you don't believe me HypnoSucky,- but I suggest you go out there and try to constructively criticize some women and see how you go,- because you will be unreasonably slammed by these so called Oppressed Women.
@نقطة نقطة Are you for real..? You can invoke the war rhetoric when women are allowed to go to war in equal numbers, but then you wouldn't need to would you..? - because guess who made the laws pertaining to women not being capable on the battlefield all those many years ago. You got it, Men! But we sure as hell healed your sorry asses. So don't ask for thanks because you faught wars you wouldn't allow us to fight!
Everyone born post 1990 grew up with mostly American TV, the accent of my generation and those that follow is much more American. This accent still exists in some rich parts of Sydney so some extent, but its mostly dead due to American Cultural Influence
Axcel Black back then Australians spoke with a kind of annoyingly affected English accent. Nowadays the accent is just watered down. Still Aussie, but not so strong. And no I don't agree that everybody in Australia born after 1990 speak like American television actors...
These are the people who hijacked Marxism and pulled the left away from its focus on wealth inequality. So it's actually quite sickening to hear them speak in those "posh accents".
Feminism is a contagious and mutagenic venereal disease that, like Syphilis, affects both the reproductive system and the nervous system of women who were deficient in the antibodies present in the sperm of Human males, i.e. single females and lesbians. Symptoms of Feminism include: infertility, uterine damage, encephalitis resulting in increased aggression (just like Rabies), adrenaline overdose (magnifying their already-aggressive amygdalas by 99%), severe allergy to males, mental retardation, Down syndrome, autism endocrine dysfunction, obesity, diabetes, excessive growth of body hair, toxic body odour, vagina dentata, breast cancer, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, brain cancer, cancer in general, and paranoid schizophrenia involving a phobia that The Man and everything (even the trees) is out to rape them.
They're scared little boys. Real men aren't afraid of women like Germaine, they're excited and invigorated by her. It's those boys who have developed physically into men, but still have the mind of boys, that are threatened by her. I dare say they also have serious issues with their mothers and other women in their lives.
I sit here in the states in 2023 and I see all the crazy things that are happening to woman. I was a teenager in the 70's and women's lib meant a lot of things. The strides made then are being destroyed in this decade.
كانت الحركة قديما ممتازة أما اليوم اي رجل يأتي ويلقي الكذب على النسويات واي امرأه تدعي أنها نسويه وفي الأخير تتضح أنها مجرد حاقده أو مستغله ،يجب توحيد النسوية يحب تكوين منظومه
I think Germaine Greer was a woman ahead of her time. The young understood her the old couldnt understand. As for the critics vs Germaine Greer ? Greers book is critically acclaimed a must for young women today & eternity. Who were the critics names again ?
Just remember Greer is not a psychologist anthropologist or a sociologist, comes from an affluent middle-class background and firm heterosexual family unit and has spent her life teaching English literature at universities. So she's hardly in touch with everyday life.
I think she is fabulous even today as she was back then ❤️ I’m a transgender woman and I admire her a lot. Everybody is entitled to they’re own opinion and what a shitty place it’s become that everybody gets offended so easily really annoys me. Grow a set if you will pardon the pun there.
Late 1960s Australia is a very claustrophobic society if you look at old clips. It's not surprising the hippie and feminist movements kicked in afterwards. The pendulum swings from one side to another. I agree very much with the comment that young girl made about children. I was raised in feminist and hippie society and there are advantages to that but my childhood was chaotic and I had no father. You do need two parents and the representatives of masculine and feminine people in the raising of children. I think this new generation will swing more conservative in a way, they'll be more focussed on monogamy and family once they lose interest in tinder etc because of how unsatisfactory and unsafe the situation has become.
What about choice? Why do people always say either women should be housewives or they should be working, like women are all doppelgängers of each other with the same personality, needs and wants. Just let women choose what they want.
The people who argue that the housewives were all content before the introduction of women's lib don't seem to realize that these women wouldn't have been so receptive to feminism if they had been truly satisfied.
Women thought the grass would be greener on the other side......as most people have that inclination. Now you have women putting off having children, if they ever have them at all, a corporate slave to pay more taxes and pay off the all important student debt to the government as well. Most women have jobs, not careers. I figure it’s the 80/20 rule. Probably about 75-80% of women would be fine being housewives, especially with younger kids, finding an outlet with school, community, religions organizations like they did in the past. The 25-20% that really want the daily grind of commuting, putting in long hours, climbing that ladder....it’s good they have the opportunity to do that now. The problem is, it’s really no longer a choice for women to be homemakers or not. Women flooding the labor market lowered wages, so families need both people working. The other issue you have is, so many women say they don’t need a man, and the single mother rate has sky rocketed. Children from single mother homes statistically have the worst outcomes. There’s no perfect answer because anyone is different. Gloria Steinem wanted a career, not a family, etc....good for her. But there are many women today online complaining feminism lied to them. They got their education, worked and dated around in their 20s, then in their 30s are trying to find a man to have a family with, but it doesn’t always happen. Like everything, the pendulum swings too far in either direction, it’s not necessarily good.
@@anneb889 I'm glad that we have choices, as we should. And besides, once you reach adulthood, unless you're so profoundly disabled that you can't work, you shouldn't depend on someone else to take care of you, financially or otherwise.
Delilah Hart Well, you could make the argument that the husband and wife depend on each other. If he’s working long hours providing an income, and she’s raising children, and keeping the home, etc, they are relying on each other. Feminism has us brainwashed that women were always “oppressed.” It was a division of labor. I doubt the men working in the mines, on the fields, in factories 10 hrs a day to provide for his family felt like oppressors.
She was just the sort of woman I would have fallen for.. strong, honest, sexy, smart and well spoken. A challenging woman. She doesn't always get it right these days but she's probably disappointed that progress has gone backwards in some ways for young women lately. It must be hard to understand after what she's seen.
I agree with her views on trans issues if that's what you're mainly referring to when you say she doesn't always get it right. A woman is an adult human female and that definition is now under threat by activists who want it changed to suit the demands of born males which a step right back for feminism.
@@richalderson6069 actually I do agree with you, that's not my issue with her. I was more thinking that she doesn't really fully understand how young people are thinking about gender now because she doesn't think it matters. It didn't matter much to her generation because very few people were trans and they weren't making the demands they're making now. I wish she could actually look into it more deeply and give a nuanced analysis because it might be helpful for younger people to hear.
@@MsFranzg not really, most men cannot see women as actual human beings so resort to viewing them as mere sexual objects. It's quite normal for them. They do not have the capacity to think beyond themselves.
Well meeee oooowww. So sorry to be alive. My mother was probably one of the most intellectually intelligent and well read women I know. And she'd have told many feminists how they have been misled. If you was to know the history of feminism in the US. And how it particularly grew in the sixties. Look up the connection between the women's liberation movement and the Rockefeller family. Then understand how enlightened you are to the truth. Hegelian dialectic. Thesis antithesis synthesis.
Australia was a cultural wasteland in the 60s and 70s and most of the 80s. I don't blame Greer, Clive James, Robert Hughes etc for leaving. However, the school girls here are damn impressive.
I've heard many parents say, they give their daughter a stick and they'll turn it into a doll. They'll give their boy a stick and they'll turn it into a sword. And such was common sense for the hundereds of thousands of years humans have walked this good earth. But somehow, in the past couple of decades people have become so far out of touch with reality.
All children would play with dolls if given the chance. Just as all children would play with cars if given the chance. As a nanny, I see parents forcing gender norms on their young children everyday.
The problem with activism and activists is they are great at creating dissent, but terrible at sticking around and helping to build something from the ruins of what they smashed to pieces. For example, she said she would go back to England. Then you have a whole generation of women who were wondering what they should do with their lives. They needed leaders to show them how to build things, communities, and society. Same problem happened with Gandhi. He was able to mobilize millions to the point where England was forced out, but then civil unrest broke out all over India. Look at Lenin. He was replaced by Stalin, who murdered millions of his own people. Revolution provides destruction, but rarely solutions for the problems created in a revolution. Germaine Greer is no saint. She can often be glib and self serving. She offers pessimism and misandry rather than true feminism, which is about giving women the skills to be strong and feee. You can do better. Love and live better than her example.
Absolutely, I actually found this quite shocking. To be fair, they are clearly private school kids from (probably) liberal, wealthy families, but still, compare this to a bunch of kids now. The difference is gulf sized.
The book titled “ The Female Eunoch “ written by feminist Germaine Greer in 1970, is a good read about feminism. Greer hoped that the book would inspire women to see themselves as powerful and to use that power. Has Meghan ever used her power as a university graduate to be a University lecturer to reach a higher level of people on a daily basis. Michele Obama published a book titled “ Becoming” which tells about HER black roots and how she found HER voice. Meghan could perhaps write a similar book.

Because the institution has outlived its usefulness? It started out as a way for women to not be found wanting. Now they can do it themselves. But yes, yes, lets romanticize when women didnt have the same independence as men. Much better times. Also, clearly not a woman's perspective.
@@maishadigital8410Such a narrow and caricatural view of marriages of the past. What a straw-man about these women in past interviews that defend, even today, a traditional lifestyle.
@@sarahbartlett1196 if only hey. I was a teen at the time and I remember my mum thought she was guilty. I said no - I believe her. She’s innocent. Years later I took my own kids to Fraser Island and the dingoes there were very aggressive. We had to keep a close eye on the kids and I thought - for sure a dingo took her baby. They’re very predatory animals.
WHY??? what i got out of it was the woman was happier back then, and now?. in the 60/70s stay at home moms building good moral families, no no Melissa she cursed woman forever
There were Truer Feminists before Germaine Greer...She was just liked to cause a Sensation.She Never Fought to gain the right for Women to Vote..She never Fought for Anything Worth while for Women.Greer is Not an Early Feminist.
@@elenikominos7404 whoa. who are you to define "true feminist"? yikes. you sound like the ridiculous media in australia in this film... focus on what is there, not on what is not there, or on what you want to be there. you do not shape the world.
Germain Greer is quite sultry and sensual here, displaying what another interviewer termed her "animal magnetism." It's true. I don't point it out to dismiss her, because I very much admire her work, just wanted to note it. As it goes, this interview/segment talked more about Greer's celebrity and impact, than her particular ideas. Mad props to the high school girls for being so thoughtful, well spoken, and engaging. Another note: 6:29: no judgement at all, but "I'd rather be under the thumb" sounds so shocking to my 21st century ears.
>"I'd rather be under the thumb" sounds so shocking to my 21st century ears. Such is the power of indoctrination on some people. It's been this way for hundreds of thousands of years until the past couple of decades and you can't imagine anything else. Though, I'm probably similar age as yourself but for whatever reason it's not shocking to me at all, perhaps because I am less susceptible to cultural indoctrination.
@@yes-gm5ts Thanks, being easily indoctrinated by culture isn't really a great thing. You just go along with whatever is the reigning morality of your era. So if you're easily culturally indoctrinated now in our current western civilisation, then you would be the same in some other place at some other time. So you can rest assured you would be burning witches or gassing jews given the right time and place, since you just absorb whatever is the dominant morality hoisted upon you by society.
I'm a SAHM with a wonderful husband who gives me an easy life. I grew up poor and battered and in the system with nothing and no one. I think I have earned it.
I'm glad you're happy with your life. We should all be free to pursue personal happiness, regardless of gender. And for some of us, happiness means having a career and not being financially dependent on another.
Robert B appears that Germaine Greer is not welcome to speak anymore as she refuses to accept trans women, as women. She sees it as patriarchal infestation of woman. Lol! She doesn’t agree with third wave feminism.....most second wave feminists don’t.
04:53 - "What men mistake for happiness was in fact resignation". Exactly. I was an 11 year old boy when this was filmed - my Mum was one such woman, and yes, she read "The Female Eunuch". She was an intelligent, educated woman, who described her own mother as "early Women's Lib" for wanting her to get an education. The butthurt MRAs here complaining that "this is where the infection started" ignore the fact that all Greer did was to articulate what so many were already feeling. She may have gone crazy later but the discontent she identified was real.
+ urbanphil0s0phy "Reason is, and ought only to be the slave of the passions, and can never pretend to any other office than to serve and obey them. " David Hume, On Reason. Those feelings - passions - were the result of how women were treated. Greer was offering reason - an analysis of patriarchy - to explain those feelings and propose a solution for them.
Elitist20 "of how women were treated". Like if they were on a sinking ship they'd get to go on lifeboats? And yes it really does come down to that. Male disposability and female protection. This is a truth that is well overlooked.
+ urbanphil0s0phy A woman might have been first in the lifeboat of the Titanic, but she wouldn't have been allowed to be captain. It was "women and children first" because both were regarded as poor little things, not in the same league as men. "Male disposability and female protection"? An MRA myth. It's rare that a meme says much of value, but the one that says "Men's Rights Activists: Men complaining about problems caused by other men and blaming it on feminism somehow" is bang on the money. A point I remember being made in the 70s was "women's liberation is men's liberation too".
Elitist20 And the men drowned. What would you rather, dead or protected? The whole patriarchy thing is so unintelligent. Like Forrest Gump level unintelligent. Applying even a small amount of thought to 'patriarchy' one would see that women achieved such an elevated level of life quality and freedom in comparison to the life of humans beforehand that the idea of feminism becomes as absurd as what took place in 'The Emporer's New Clothes'. The fact that you can see the history of war in last 100 years and think male disposability is a myth is indicative of willful blindness, brainwashing and a lack of empathy to say the very least.
@ScattySafari That certainly was excellent spotting. I swear I did think there was something about that woman but didn't stop to check. So, you made me go looking at photos of Lindy from 1972 & I reckon there's a very good chance you are right - which is rather odd, innit?
GG is the type of woman I would normally disdain but I have to say that over the last 40 or so years I've sporadically listened to her speak I have grown to like and admire her a lot!
3:04: "I think there are literally some women that can't be liberated because they sometimes haven't got enough intelligence." That's why some of us like feminism; we all have different talents and strengths. Men don't have to be smart to dominate women: all they need is dicks, evil, and collusion. "Men do things in groups." - Germaine Greer
This happened. Their generation happened. Everyone dropped traditional values and begun accepting the new quicker than any other generation. Technology came and community ended, all the while those girls were raising kids in middle class homes helicopter parenting and codling them into anxiety and ineptitude.
im from that annoying country across the ditch but by god i love the interesting historical videos on australian society on this great youtube channel. so fascinating.
Women bodies are meant to have babies and women's breasts are meant to feed babies ... a man can't do this. What these girls didnt realise is that by belittling women who have a more traditional role in the home they forced them into the workforce, playing into the hands of the government, and forcing up the prices of housing to a point where it was necessary to have 2 incomes if a family were to afford a house ... thus funking up the next generation's chance of having a real choice!
@@theeggtimertictic1136 The point is it was supposed to be about liberating women to have the CHOICE to choose the life they want to lead, whether housewife or careerist, not about FORCING them into the workforce, as you assert. And how you've made a connection to this causing property price inflation utterly boggles the mind.
Nowadays “women’s rights” have been synonymous with additional government programs that would tax men (largely) and pay for irresponsible single mothers. Let us men be free too, lower taxes, and let’s cordially go our separate ways.
For those men, impose all sorts of child support on them. The greater society should not have to pay for single moms through taxes and random programs.
Edge but then we'd have the American system and men hate that too?? I understand your frustration. I'm from a single parent family, my mum tried her best and worked as much as she could and my father gave $0 and never once acknowledged my existence. It's not good enough for people to act like that.
Women are rising in the world, unlocking great potential that has too often been undervalued or repressed. If the following passage connects with you, please feel free to explore the New Message from God. "There are very few individuals who can be seers and not all of them will be women, but these gifts have been given to the feminine in far greater abundance, and there are women today who are meant to be seers. That is their purpose. That is their mission. But perhaps within their cultures and societies they are assigned simply maintenance tasks within the family. They are held back by their own local religion and cultural customs. And their greater purpose is not being realized. Their great opportunity is closed to them. Just because you are born with a purpose does not mean the world will allow you to assume it. That is why freedom is so important-the freedom to think, the freedom to express, the freedom to create. But ultimately, it is the freedom to find your purpose and to fulfill it. Slowly, over the past century in particular, women have been arising, representing the ascendancy of women in many cultures-not all cultures but many cultures. This is a natural evolution, as We have said. It must happen. And the human race will be far better for it. To hold women back and assign them domestic duties alone is a great mistake. It will deny the human family far greater resources that would be available otherwise. The confusion about male and female roles, the masculine and the feminine, has led to a great retardation in human development and great abuse of people throughout the ages in many cultures. To limit women to child raising and domestic duties and minimal employment opportunities is a great mistake, and wherever that exists in any culture, that culture will suffer as a result. Until recently, in most societies in the world, women were considered to be simply the possession of men-a valuable possession, but a possession, something you could buy or sell or trade or destroy-and that is one of the reasons that human civilization has progressed so very slowly. Why has it taken humanity so long to really make advancements? It is not simply energy and technology, the limits there, that have held you back. It is the restraint upon the roles of men and women. It is the weight of history and tradition. It is the expectations of children. So for a woman who is destined to become a provider within religion and spirituality, how will her talents ever be recognized in a culture that does not allow her to assume any roles within this context? And will she not suffer as a result of being unable to meet her culture’s expectations and demands? There are many unhappy and dysfunctional people today around the world who have ended up in these conditions because their natural evolution has been stifled and repressed. And what cost to society to have dysfunctional people? What cost to society to have to pay the price of addiction and people’s many actions of self-destruction? What cost to society? But the greater cost that has not been recognized is that these individuals have not been able to provide and to express their own purpose in being here and the gifts that would issue from this, which are not simply their personal creations but are actually gifts of Spirit, gifts of God." --The New Message from God
This is why western societies are degenerate and decadent now and being taken over by societies whose religions didn't commit the error of becoming "liberal" and permissive towards women's selfish, hedonistic pursuits, I suppose. The "new God" you mention is called Satan. Not new at all. Satanism exists since the beginning of time.
Feminism = Destroyer of nations and societies. They never have enough destruction, always doubling down on their insane demands. Unsatisfied, unhappy women whose only purpose in life is making other people as miserable and bitter as themselves. Pure cancer.
The girls' dad (at 4.08) was dead right. I think decades later Germaine Greer is still miserable, only now she has dragged most of Australia's women with her. There was no barrier for a determined woman to get into public life, whether they wanted that is another matter - I think planting that desire was the main change the feminists achieved.
@Michael David replace the wine with a can of monster, replace soap operas with livestreams and replace meat with cheese pizza and you have my SAHM life. It's an easy life.
@@pmcguinness3041 dont care what people say,even at the worst scenario that your own husband disrespect your role as a stay at home mom, do your best and your children will charious you in your old days
Thats mgtard propaganda. Greer wrote a book called "the beautiful boy" detailing the short lived beauty of a prepubescent boy, "not some simpering 30 yo with a shaved chest". Age gaps in relationships were common in the not so distant past. Now with "equality" our SMV is now equal to women (many would argue much less if its just hook ups). Now for many young men, their future rests upon right place/ right time or just be "chad". All the money, self improvement etc amounts to nothing because in many cases women are out earning men. As Barbarossa said, equality is the most erroneous form of oppression to men.
Ah no we are very happy thank you. We can be CEO's and mothers simultaneously. It's funny that you think we are all resigned to a office cubicle. Couldn't be any further from the truth.
Germaine is in her late seventies. Has lived in England since the sixties. Whenever she mentions Australia it is only say how dull it was growing up. She even says she is not a feminist. I sort of like her in small doses. But she even feminists think she is a bit mad.
Fun fact: outside of the tOtTallY patriarchal "nuclear family", MEN are the biggest adopters of children. PARTICULARLY at the 21-34 year old age group, which you know, happens to be the prime age to give birth (women tend to adopt more after 50, probably after realising wombs do indeed dry up and careers don't matter). Until recently, men were always responsible in raising children due to the high mortality rate of birth giving mothers. Bonus fact: the first "nuclear family" existed 4,500 years before the advent of the industrial revolution or Karl marxs greatest granpappys first wet dream. Feminists will use anything as an excuse to ignore any kind of biological realities. It's like a male praying mantis trying to negotiate with a mate while the next guy is like "fuckin move over I want my head eaten off!".
@@maishadigital8410 - You’re obviously a radical feminist who wants to be offended. Go to Iran where feminism is actually needed, and pick a fight there.
"What men mistake for happiness was infact resignation..." because the man's role of busting his ass all day at work was just sunshine and rainbows. The only thing we've managed to liberate women from is any sense of personal accountability/responsibility.
@Isa I can't really argue with someone who is so willfully blind that they honestly believe women in modern western societies aren't liberated. Also, your advice to go MGTOW is far too late, I've been married with children for over a decade.
Censored politically, give me a break. She was funded and reported on and interviewed on in this documentary. She was funded to help groom women into rejecting their heritage, and embracing the interests of those who funded her, including big business. Isn’t it funny how wages fell to half what they where as soon as women entered the work force full time on mass.
@@MaxStArlyn can you name the organisations who funded greer in the year 1972? And if she was such a useful tool of the degenerates, why is she so widely hated by the progressive anti-sex cultists nowadays?
Let me ask you this. Is there a man you know that you would trust with your finances, children and entire future? Who you would give up your autonomy and personal bank account for? Work sucks, everyone hates it, but it beats your only option being 'find a man you trust to control your life' . I can't believe people still resent women advancing in the workforce. They were never out of it except in wealthy households. They worked in factories, on the streets, in plenty of professions, being paid sfa. They had their ideas stolen and their contributions forgotten. But they were always there. Do you think men have been doing society's laundry, caring for their elderly, nursing, midwifing, and doing dozens of other female dominated professions that men considered themselves too good to do? Life was financially easier if you were married, most of the time I'm sure, until recently, but clearly women prefer their independence to relying on Dave from down the pub to make their dreams come true. In terms of wages, look at how low unemployment actually is. It's not women lowering wages and pushing people out of jobs, it's outsourcing overseas and automation. In other words, greed and progress. We have jobs that have massive shortages due to a lack of skills - why? Because education got turned into big business and people who might be great at those jobs can't afford it. Women have not destroyed the world. They are vital to keeping it going and we should be grateful they're in the labour force, working low paid, under appreciated jobs like elder care and teaching. We are all vital to each other, and it's never been any other way.
Trouble is the boring jobs are the useful ones (eg growing food, picking fruit) - the useless ones are those like 'feminist activist' which pretends to help people, but is toxic.
WHO WAS THAT? Hahaha So she was the one-- extremist who outcried for women right! Based on the video on the streets, females look like they had equal right as men back then. On the other hand, this woman in my eyes is a low class substance abuse person talking in low with smoking habit. Now I still can see the old women in the same feature
Government employed Germaine Greer, Ladies take note how once you were happy and truly free, did anyone notice how many men were walking in the streets? do you know why? there all working ponders the employment rate was back then, ohh wait! Vietnam war right ohh dear a feminist trying to pray on the happy woman to get off their bums into the workforce was there a war worrying about men dying in the war that we had to have....are we learning yet! the world rolls forward to 2018 are you woman happy??????
Dan theman I'm not really against all feminist.But Germaine Greer is just straight up a male hater.very anti-male. She's just like the other annoying witches that came out during the 1960s-1970s like,Gloria Steinem,Rita Mae Brown,and Shulamith Firestone. I'm an egalitarian because I also care about men.
Dan theman , Many Women Protested about the Vietnam War . A War That WAS LOST AND DESTROYED SO MANY FINE YOUNG MEN. I spoke with a Group Of Vietnam Vets in 2008 . Old Men now but Still SUFFERING P.T.S.D .I'm 45 I am thankful for the Women that fought for my rights & the men too, fought for Birth Control , don't know of many men that complain about that.

The whole women liberation movement is quite misleading. I find it very hypocritical to say women are victims of a patriarchal system as if they never had brain to begin with nor could they think for themselves. Maybe some women are satisfied living with those social structures and I dare say it is actually beneficial for a healthy family dynamic. An important point is that the children are not going to bring themselves up and it is definitely not the government's job either. The mother must have a critical role in teaching the next generation and that way wouldn't have to put the blame on how social structures are unjust.
Cool story, bro. Germaine Greer is a radical thinker with wide ranging ideas, who distinguished between "women's equality" and what she termed "women's liberation." Your diatribe might be more properly directed at mainstream feminism as a whole.
Do you even have an inkling of social structures at a time this was made..? There was virtually no women in parliament except for secretaries, so no women facilitating legislation, very few social programs for women if she & her children were abandoned by the breadwinner, if you did manage to get government assistance, they came into your home unannounced to check you had no men staying with you, bank loans for women in Australia were unheard of, much less outright home ownership initiated by a woman, if you didn't like it, you were told to get back into the kitchen where you belonged & do what you're told. If you called police due to domestic violence, they told the husband to sort it out & keep the noise down so no one knew, they never asked to see the woman or check on her well being because there was no legal protection via domestic violence & police were still a huge mens club with very few female officers. If you tried to give a strong opinion, it was overlooked or ridiculed, you were told to mind your place. Work places saw men grabbing womens breasts or pinching their asses & if you were cornered in a room, you were expected to take it as a joke because boys will be boys & females were nowhere near high management positions. If you happened to walk into an all male workplace, you were greeted by centrefolds with their legs spread in sexually suggestive poses, such is how women were viewed. It was even worse for indigenous women. It's true there were women who didn't care to rock the boat, which is why Greer had an uphill battle putting her ideas out there initially. I think you need to educate yourself because your knowledge is clearly limited concerning how much power women had over their own lives & how minute their self determination was at this time..
@@amp279 Women coming into power has been good on one hand in that it has brought some degree of compassion to the western world. On the other hand, it has also brought in hysteria and non-rationality which I fear might lead to the complete breakdown of western civilisation.
the point is societal norms (right or wrong) were far more firm back then. there was very little wiggle room for women without being shunned. It's less about laying blame on past people and more about moving forward and accepting women shouldn't have to conform to norms that were formed long ago. It's a massive culture shift but it's a welcome one if you want a properly democratic open and free society. So i agree, we should not blame a "blind" system of history that kind of just evolved into a perpetual patriarchal structure that functioned well enough at the time. But it's our job now to recognise when an old system is no longer necessary - or at least shouldn't be imposed on people that don't want it. It's all about options. Both parents are important and any well functioning government has laws that allow women to have decent maternity leave, and also no reason why a man cant raise a child too. Most women still do the child raising but the point is it's about options - even if 90% of women preferred an old patriarchal system we would still owe that remaining 10% the right not to be discriminated against for doing things differently. If there are benefits scientifically in doing things one way over another then that information is great and it should be there for men and women to CONSIDER how to implement into their lives. I think you'll find there is no silver bullet though and ultimately we know better than anyone what makes us tick and what we want in life. By we I mean anyone - I'm a man. I also don't like the expectations put on men on how we're supposed to be, but to be honest those expectations are not as limiting as what women have dealt with over history. Many issues do get ignored though. Also one final note, it pays not to treat feminism as one single boxed up movement. There are various people with varying attitudes within it. Some are very reasonable, some less so. Or maybe they just see the world differently. Don't let some bad interactions poison the core idea itself - that just creates an "us & them" type scenario and the shit flinging only gets worse. And for the love of god if you're following some youtube guru then don't take what they say as gospel - it's still an opinion and even professors can be biased or misguided.

How often do you stumble across a writer talking about oil changes and tap washers? Are you going to say this about every writer or author, or is it only problem here because Greer is a feminist?
Just because the entire media doesn't put on everything you want to watch it doesn't mean it should be removed. Now I believe that a man should be running the station because women can't get over this touchy emotion crap but it shouldn't be defunded
Greer contributed to the undoing in our societies the core values and stability within the judo/Christian family unit. My Mother due to the sin of ingratitude, even though she had wonderful family with three boys wealth and prosperity through the fifties, sixties and seventies in country Victoria. Was influenced and got radicalized on the feminatzi bandwagon through Soroptimist International and the Women's Electoral Lobby. The amount of arrogant abuse and correction three young boys were constantly lambasted with has left it's mark. The further away our society has gone from scripture as the following. Is proof in it's self of what ignorance and disobedience to it has put us all in. Ephesians 5:21-25 (KJV) 21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. 22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; Marriages can be happy: But only if both are in agreement. czcams.com/video/eg9iTh9qPe0/video.html
It seems strange that the ancient Jews seemed to fear God because of his powers, but placed so much hope in his "covenant". I imagine they attributed both all good fortune and all bad fortune to God. I understand that it wasn't until about the time of Jesus that they developed a belief in resurrection of the body.
Wazz Zappening I’d had thought it was the cost of living, back in the 50-60’s one income was enough, not so by the 70-80-90’s you need TWO people working, levels of private debt have sky rocketed, right now a whole generation will be lucky to do half as well as their parents! Ms Greer is/was a drop in the ocean, I guess blaming her is easier than examining the system?

Feminism is still an ongoing fight to equality. Even now, I can’t believe all the comments are angry at women for wanting to have just as much freedom and power as men, to be given just as much understanding and opportunity. We’re in an interesting time, men had such a tight grip on us and it seems to be a painful release for them. I’d rather live a life away from comfort if it means I get to make my own choices and be myself.
Men in power are the only people with power. The larger population of men don't have any power, they follow orders from elites and politicians. Their physical strength can't be used beyond hard labour for money, they can't use their physical strength to get anything from a woman legally....but guess who has the power to manipulate men, without legal consequences, charge them for money, force them to make a commitment, lead them on etc....a woman! Women generally have sexual powers that are extremely huge and effective in getting almost anything from men. Women are the powerful ones. We often don't acknowledge the fact that theres absolutely nothing a woman cannot achieve with her sexuality, that's power, and there's nothing a man cannot forfeit for sex, that's an extreme weakness! So, who's generally more powerful? In my opinion women! That's why being able to make money is almost the only option men have to stay relevant in the society or relationships, while women have an option of making money or not, either way, women can still get access to money, with their sexuality. Women are far more powerful than men....but they won't admit it, because admitting it might cost them the power at some point, no one knows tomorrow.
Dejaverst Arts Ayodeji Azeez I really love your point! In terms of sexuality women have power, but it is the power men have given us without realizing. If the only thing we were good for for the history of women was being sexy and having children of course we’d learn how to use that to our advantage. I think everyone has a different idea of equality or liberation but I believe men will have to connect into their sexual side in order for all of us to be equals. Men CAN be so sexy, alluring and attractive with the right attitude and confidence, men CAN have a say in the emotional aspects of relationships and speak out about what they want and need. Honestly feminism is resonating with me because I am a woman obviously, but what we need is something beyond that. We need a balancing act for both genders, to learn from each other and have these conversations despite it being really hard to find a middle ground
Germaine said over 40 years ago in Female Eunuch that "women do not know how much men hate them". It's clear in these comments that in certain men's diseased minds, very little has changed, and perhaps in some fractured male minds, the hate has increased and so too the vitriol.
HypnoSucky you have lost the plot ,.....-you said …….."We’re in an interesting time, men had such a tight grip on us and it seems to be a painful release for them" . you

Everyone born post 1990 grew up with mostly American TV, the accent of my generation and those that follow is much more American. This accent still exists in some rich parts of Sydney so some extent, but its mostly dead due to American Cultural Influence
Axcel Black back then Australians spoke with a kind of annoyingly affected English accent. Nowadays the accent is just watered down. Still Aussie, but not so strong. And no I don't agree that everybody in Australia born after 1990 speak like American television actors...
These accents sound British. The modern aussie accent does not sound American. So there's something else going on.
These are the people who hijacked Marxism and pulled the left away from its focus on wealth inequality. So it's actually quite sickening to hear them speak in those "posh accents".

I think Germaine Greer was a woman ahead of her time. The young understood her the old couldnt understand. As for the critics vs Germaine Greer ? Greers book is critically acclaimed a must for young women today & eternity. Who were the critics names again ?
Just remember Greer is not a psychologist anthropologist or a sociologist, comes from an affluent middle-class background and firm heterosexual family unit and has spent her life teaching English literature at universities.
So she's hardly in touch with everyday life.
I think she is fabulous even today as she was back then ❤️ I’m a transgender woman and I admire her a lot. Everybody is entitled to they’re own opinion and what a shitty place it’s become that everybody gets offended so easily really annoys me. Grow a set if you will pardon the pun there.

Late 1960s Australia is a very claustrophobic society if you look at old clips. It's not surprising the hippie and feminist movements kicked in afterwards. The pendulum swings from one side to another. I agree very much with the comment that young girl made about children. I was raised in feminist and hippie society and there are advantages to that but my childhood was chaotic and I had no father. You do need two parents and the representatives of masculine and feminine people in the raising of children. I think this new generation will swing more conservative in a way, they'll be more focussed on monogamy and family once they lose interest in tinder etc because of how unsatisfactory and unsafe the situation has become.
The girls from the school are in their 60s now. 29th November 2019.
What about choice? Why do people always say either women should be housewives or they should be working, like women are all doppelgängers of each other with the same personality, needs and wants. Just let women choose what they want.
Women nowadays have that choice, they didn't back in the day
Seems like things haven’t changed much judging from the comments
The people who argue that the housewives were all content before the introduction of women's lib don't seem to realize that these women wouldn't have been so receptive to feminism if they had been truly satisfied.
Females are never satisfied.
Females are never satisfied.
Women thought the grass would be greener on the other side......as most people have that inclination.
Now you have women putting off having children, if they ever have them at all, a corporate slave to pay more taxes and pay off the all important student debt to the government as well.
Most women have jobs, not careers. I figure it’s the 80/20 rule. Probably about 75-80% of women would be fine being housewives, especially with younger kids, finding an outlet with school, community, religions organizations like they did in the past. The 25-20% that really want the daily grind of commuting, putting in long hours, climbing that ladder....it’s good they have the opportunity to do that now. The problem is, it’s really no longer a choice for women to be homemakers or not. Women flooding the labor market lowered wages, so families need both people working.
The other issue you have is, so many women say they don’t need a man, and the single mother rate has sky rocketed. Children from single mother homes statistically have the worst outcomes.
There’s no perfect answer because anyone is different. Gloria Steinem wanted a career, not a family, etc....good for her. But there are many women today online complaining feminism lied to them. They got their education, worked and dated around in their 20s, then in their 30s are trying to find a man to have a family with, but it doesn’t always happen.
Like everything, the pendulum swings too far in either direction, it’s not necessarily good.
@@anneb889 I'm glad that we have choices, as we should. And besides, once you reach adulthood, unless you're so profoundly disabled that you can't work, you shouldn't depend on someone else to take care of you, financially or otherwise.
Delilah Hart Well, you could make the argument that the husband and wife depend on each other. If he’s working long hours providing an income, and she’s raising children, and keeping the home, etc, they are relying on each other.
Feminism has us brainwashed that women were always “oppressed.” It was a division of labor. I doubt the men working in the mines, on the fields, in factories 10 hrs a day to provide for his family felt like oppressors.
She was just the sort of woman I would have fallen for.. strong, honest, sexy, smart and well spoken. A challenging woman. She doesn't always get it right these days but she's probably disappointed that progress has gone backwards in some ways for young women lately. It must be hard to understand after what she's seen.
I agree with her views on trans issues if that's what you're mainly referring to when you say she doesn't always get it right. A woman is an adult human female and that definition is now under threat by activists who want it changed to suit the demands of born males which a step right back for feminism.
@@richalderson6069 actually I do agree with you, that's not my issue with her. I was more thinking that she doesn't really fully understand how young people are thinking about gender now because she doesn't think it matters. It didn't matter much to her generation because very few people were trans and they weren't making the demands they're making now. I wish she could actually look into it more deeply and give a nuanced analysis because it might be helpful for younger people to hear.

All children would play with dolls if given the chance. Just as all children would play with cars if given the chance. As a nanny, I see parents forcing gender norms on their young children everyday.
God she was amazing then, and she's amazing now.
The problem with activism and activists is they are great at creating dissent, but terrible at sticking around and helping to build something from the ruins of what they smashed to pieces. For example, she said she would go back to England. Then you have a whole generation of women who were wondering what they should do with their lives. They needed leaders to show them how to build things, communities, and society.
Same problem happened with Gandhi. He was able to mobilize millions to the point where England was forced out, but then civil unrest broke out all over India.
Look at Lenin. He was replaced by Stalin, who murdered millions of his own people.
Revolution provides destruction, but rarely solutions for the problems created in a revolution.
Germaine Greer is no saint. She can often be glib and self serving. She offers pessimism and misandry rather than true feminism, which is about giving women the skills to be strong and feee.

So feelings=truth? Well ok then.
+ urbanphil0s0phy "Reason is, and ought only to be the slave of the passions, and can never pretend to any other office than to serve and obey them. " David Hume, On Reason. Those feelings - passions - were the result of how women were treated. Greer was offering reason - an analysis of patriarchy - to explain those feelings and propose a solution for them.
Elitist20 "of how women were treated". Like if they were on a sinking ship they'd get to go on lifeboats? And yes it really does come down to that. Male disposability and female protection. This is a truth that is well overlooked.
+ urbanphil0s0phy A woman might have been first in the lifeboat of the Titanic, but she wouldn't have been allowed to be captain. It was "women and children first" because both were regarded as poor little things, not in the same league as men. "Male disposability and female protection"? An MRA myth. It's rare that a meme says much of value, but the one that says "Men's Rights Activists: Men complaining about problems caused by other men and blaming it on feminism somehow" is bang on the money. A point I remember being made in the 70s was "women's liberation is men's liberation too".
Elitist20 And the men drowned. What would you rather, dead or protected?
The whole patriarchy thing is so unintelligent. Like Forrest Gump level unintelligent. Applying even a small amount of thought to 'patriarchy' one would see that women achieved such an elevated level of life quality and freedom in comparison to the life of humans beforehand that the idea of feminism becomes as absurd as what took place in 'The Emporer's New Clothes'. The fact that you can see the history of war in last 100 years and think male disposability is a myth is indicative of willful blindness, brainwashing and a lack of empathy to say the very least.
Is that Lindy Chamberlain 9 seconds in?
Wouldn't be surprising!! Great spotting!!
@ScattySafari That certainly was excellent spotting. I swear I did think there was something about that woman but didn't stop to check. So, you made me go looking at photos of Lindy from 1972 & I reckon there's a very good chance you are right - which is rather odd, innit?
I just made a similar comment. It certainly looks like her doesn't it
GG is the type of woman I would normally disdain but I have to say that over the last 40 or so years I've sporadically listened to her speak I have grown to like and admire her a lot!

How smart were those kids back then! What happened!!!
Kids are still just as smart, just look at climate change :)
3:04: "I think there are literally some women that can't be liberated because they sometimes haven't got enough intelligence."
That's why some of us like feminism; we all have different talents and strengths. Men don't have to be smart to dominate women: all they need is dicks, evil, and collusion.
"Men do things in groups." - Germaine Greer
This happened. Their generation happened. Everyone dropped traditional values and begun accepting the new quicker than any other generation. Technology came and community ended, all the while those girls were raising kids in middle class homes helicopter parenting and codling them into anxiety and ineptitude.
@@rsu8689 At least when men do things in groups, they don't tend to tear each other apart... women on the other hand.

Women bodies are meant to have babies and women's breasts are meant to feed babies ... a man can't do this. What these girls didnt realise is that by belittling women who have a more traditional role in the home they forced them into the workforce, playing into the hands of the government, and forcing up the prices of housing to a point where it was necessary to have 2 incomes if a family were to afford a house ... thus funking up the next generation's chance of having a real choice!
@@theeggtimertictic1136 The point is it was supposed to be about liberating women to have the CHOICE to choose the life they want to lead, whether housewife or careerist, not about FORCING them into the workforce, as you assert.

Nowadays “women’s rights” have been synonymous with additional government programs that would tax men (largely) and pay for irresponsible single mothers. Let us men be free too, lower taxes, and let’s cordially go our separate ways.
How about the irresponsible men who impregnated those single women?
How about men stop having irresponsible sex if they are not ready to take responsibility for their offspring
Those single mothers didn't get themselves pregnant you numpty.....
For those men, impose all sorts of child support on them. The greater society should not have to pay for single moms through taxes and random programs.
Edge but then we'd have the American system and men hate that too?? I understand your frustration. I'm from a single parent family, my mum tried her best and worked as much as she could and my father gave $0 and never once acknowledged my existence. It's not good enough for people to act like that.
Women are rising in the world, unlocking great potential that has too often been undervalued or repressed. If the following passage connects with you, please feel free to explore the New Message from God.
"There are very few individuals who can be seers and not all of them will be women, but these gifts have been given to the feminine in far greater abundance, and there are women today who are meant to be seers. That is their purpose. That is their mission. But perhaps within their cultures and societies they are assigned simply maintenance tasks within the family. They are held back by their own local religion and cultural customs. And their greater purpose is not being realized. Their great opportunity is closed to them. Just because you are born with a purpose does not mean the world will allow you to assume it. That is why freedom is so important-the freedom to think, the freedom to express, the freedom to create. But ultimately, it is the freedom to find your purpose and to fulfill it.
Slowly, over the past century in particular, women have been arising, representing the ascendancy of women in many cultures-not all cultures but many cultures. This is a natural evolution, as We have said. It must happen. And the human race will be far better for it. To hold women back and assign them domestic duties alone is a great mistake. It will deny the human family far greater resources that would be available otherwise.
The confusion about male and female roles, the masculine and the feminine, has led to a great retardation in human development and great abuse of people throughout the ages in many cultures. To limit women to child raising and domestic duties and minimal employment opportunities is a great mistake, and wherever that exists in any culture, that culture will suffer as a result. Until recently, in most societies in the world, women were considered to be simply the possession of men-a valuable possession, but a possession, something you could buy or sell or trade or destroy-and that is one of the reasons that human civilization has progressed so very slowly.
Why has it taken humanity so long to really make advancements? It is not simply energy and technology, the limits there, that have held you back. It is the restraint upon the roles of men and women. It is the weight of history and tradition. It is the expectations of children. So for a woman who is destined to become a provider within religion and spirituality, how will her talents ever be recognized in a culture that does not allow her to assume any roles within this context? And will she not suffer as a result of being unable to meet her culture’s expectations and demands?
There are many unhappy and dysfunctional people today around the world who have ended up in these conditions because their natural evolution has been stifled and repressed. And what cost to society to have dysfunctional people? What cost to society to have to pay the price of addiction and people’s many actions of self-destruction? What cost to society?
But the greater cost that has not been recognized is that these individuals have not been able to provide and to express their own purpose in being here and the gifts that would issue from this, which are not simply their personal creations but are actually gifts of Spirit, gifts of God."
--The New Message from God

This is why western societies are degenerate and decadent now and being taken over by societies whose religions didn't commit the error of becoming "liberal" and permissive towards women's selfish, hedonistic pursuits, I suppose.

Thats mgtard propaganda. Greer wrote a book called "the beautiful boy" detailing the short lived beauty of a prepubescent boy, "not some simpering 30 yo with a shaved chest". Age gaps in relationships were common in the not so distant past. Now with "equality" our SMV is now equal to women (many would argue much less if its just hook ups). Now for many young men, their future rests upon right place/ right time or just be "chad". All the money, self improvement etc amounts to nothing because in many cases women are out earning men. As Barbarossa said, equality is the most erroneous form of oppression to men.

'Misandry' isn't a thing.
@@Elitist20 it is a thing
It’s a thing, but it’s not the opposite thing. Misogyny is systematic, misandry is reactive.
Fun fact: outside of the tOtTallY patriarchal "nuclear family", MEN are the biggest adopters of children. PARTICULARLY at the 21-34 year old age group, which you know, happens to be the prime age to give birth (women tend to adopt more after 50, probably after realising wombs do indeed dry up and careers don't matter). Until recently, men were always responsible in raising children due to the high mortality rate of birth giving mothers.
Bonus fact: the first "nuclear family" existed 4,500 years before the advent of the industrial revolution or Karl marxs greatest granpappys first wet dream.
Feminists will use anything as an excuse to ignore any kind of biological realities. It's like a male praying mantis trying to negotiate with a mate while the next guy is like "fuckin move over I want my head eaten off!".

She was funded to help groom women into rejecting their heritage, and embracing the interests of those who funded her, including big business.

Let me ask you this. Is there a man you know that you would trust with your finances, children and entire future? Who you would give up your autonomy and personal bank account for? Work sucks, everyone hates it, but it beats your only option being 'find a man you trust to control your life' . I can't believe people still resent women advancing in the workforce. They were never out of it except in wealthy households. They worked in factories, on the streets, in plenty of professions, being paid sfa. They had their ideas stolen and their contributions forgotten. But they were always there. Do you think men have been doing society's laundry, caring for their elderly, nursing, midwifing, and doing dozens of other female dominated professions that men considered themselves too good to do? Life was financially easier if you were married, most of the time I'm sure, until recently, but clearly women prefer their independence to relying on Dave from down the pub to make their dreams come true. In terms of wages, look at how low unemployment actually is. It's not women lowering wages and pushing people out of jobs, it's outsourcing overseas and automation. In other words, greed and progress. We have jobs that have massive shortages due to a lack of skills - why? Because education got turned into big business and people who might be great at those jobs can't afford it. Women have not destroyed the world. They are vital to keeping it going and we should be grateful they're in the labour force, working low paid, under appreciated jobs like elder care and teaching. We are all vital to each other, and it's never been any other way.
IF I WAS THE PRIME MINISTER, ID HAVE ALL USELESS BORING JOBS GONE, AND MAKE GOOD PAYING JOBS THAT HELPS THE ENVIRONMENT OR HELPS PEOPLE AND ANIMALS.

The whole women liberation movement is quite misleading. I find it very hypocritical to say women are victims of a patriarchal system as if they never had brain to begin with nor could they think for themselves. Maybe some women are satisfied living with those social structures and I dare say it is actually beneficial for a healthy family dynamic. An important point is that the children are not going to bring themselves up and it is definitely not the government's job either. The mother must have a critical role in teaching the next generation and that way wouldn't have to put the blame on how social structures are unjust.
Cool story, bro. Germaine Greer is a radical thinker with wide ranging ideas, who distinguished between "women's equality" and what she termed "women's liberation." Your diatribe might be more properly directed at mainstream feminism as a whole.
Do you even have an inkling of social structures at a time this was made..?
There was virtually no women in parliament except for secretaries, so no women facilitating legislation,
very few social programs for women if she & her children were abandoned by the breadwinner,
if you did manage to get government assistance, they came into your home unannounced to check you had no men staying with you,
bank loans for women in Australia were unheard of, much less outright home ownership initiated by a woman, if you didn't like it, you were told to get back into the kitchen where you belonged & do what you're told.
If you called police due to domestic violence, they told the husband to sort it out & keep the noise down so no one knew, they never asked to see the woman or check on her well being because there was no legal protection via domestic violence & police were still a huge mens club with very few female officers.
If you tried to give a strong opinion, it was overlooked or ridiculed, you were told to mind your place.
Work places saw men grabbing womens breasts or pinching their asses & if you were cornered in a room, you were expected to take it as a joke because boys will be boys & females were nowhere near high management positions.
If you happened to walk into an all male workplace, you were greeted by centrefolds with their legs spread in sexually suggestive poses, such is how women were viewed.
It was even worse for indigenous women.
It's true there were women who didn't care to rock the boat, which is why Greer had an uphill battle putting her ideas out there initially.
I think you need to educate yourself because your knowledge is clearly limited concerning how much power women had over their own lives & how minute their self determination was at this time..
@@amp279 Women coming into power has been good on one hand in that it has brought some degree of compassion to the western world. On the other hand, it has also brought in hysteria and non-rationality which I fear might lead to the complete breakdown of western civilisation.
the point is societal norms (right or wrong) were far more firm back then. there was very little wiggle room for women without being shunned. It's less about laying blame on past people and more about moving forward and accepting women shouldn't have to conform to norms that were formed long ago. It's a massive culture shift but it's a welcome one if you want a properly democratic open and free society. So i agree, we should not blame a "blind" system of history that kind of just evolved into a perpetual patriarchal structure that functioned well enough at the time. But it's our job now to recognise when an old system is no longer necessary - or at least shouldn't be imposed on people that don't want it. It's all about options.
Both parents are important and any well functioning government has laws that allow women to have decent maternity leave, and also no reason why a man cant raise a child too. Most women still do the child raising but the point is it's about options - even if 90% of women preferred an old patriarchal system we would still owe that remaining 10% the right not to be discriminated against for doing things differently. If there are benefits scientifically in doing things one way over another then that information is great and it should be there for men and women to CONSIDER how to implement into their lives. I think you'll find there is no silver bullet though and ultimately we know better than anyone what makes us tick and what we want in life. By we I mean anyone - I'm a man. I also don't like the expectations put on men on how we're supposed to be, but to be honest those expectations are not as limiting as what women have dealt with over history. Many issues do get ignored though.
Also one final note, it pays not to treat feminism as one single boxed up movement. There are various people with varying attitudes within it. Some are very reasonable, some less so. Or maybe they just see the world differently. Don't let some bad interactions poison the core idea itself - that just creates an "us & them" type scenario and the shit flinging only gets worse. And for the love of god if you're following some youtube guru then don't take what they say as gospel - it's still an opinion and even professors can be biased or misguided.

24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
