I love Germaine - she's a great woman and a great Australian.

Germaine Greer has, touched on the subject of "The Last Taboo" which is criticizing old people. All the other victimized groups, in addition to the general populations continue to think nothing about ridiculing and insulting old people, which include middle-aged people, people in their 60's and 70's and elderly people in their 80's and beyond. Shouldn't old people have the same rights, protections and respect as every other so-called victimized demographic in society?

Germaine is a true person who lives the truth. Finally a true individual.

GO GERMAINE AND FROM MY MUM TOO. WHO TAUGHT ME WOMEN ARE MOTHERS OF MEN. WE DESERVE RESPECT!!

Greer is a legend

Aww... Dear Germaine I love your name and your truth Thank you

Shes still got it you go girl

When you think about the ignorance and stupidity of the population do we really care about their approval

2 things: to Germaine, you're still known in Canada, at least by women who were feminists in the 80's. To panel, don't I recognize the woman in the red blazer from Corrie St. long ago??

Young people think social media is god and all on it is the truth, that’s their main problem. You need to listen to people you don’t agree or offended by because later as you mature you may see some of their points are right. You don’t have to live like someone you don’t agree with. Grow up!

Inspiring, smart, clear, thoughtful, witty, combative, pioneering, AMAZING Germaine Greer !

She was ahead of our curve

Amazing woman

Germaine has always been a voice that stayed in my peripheral. A feminist who often offers reasonable questions and opinions worth reflecting on. I can remember her from my childhood. But she started this conversation with her perception that “religion made shame”. No. People made that. If people better understood Christ’s teachings, they’d choose to be Christian! She is absolutely correct about the fires, media, politics and free speech. Domestic violence isn’t caused by men. It is caused by cowards! I was raised to respect women in general. Though respect does ultimately, come down to the individual.

"Sounds like hard work." 😂 What a BOSS!

Students are very intolerant towards everything THEY disagree with. They are entitled to an opinion because they consider themselves far better educated than most of us and they know better. Later, though, if they’re lucky enough to get a job, they have to adapt to the REAL world and learn that their opinions don’t matter; they have to conform; they learn that majority opinion rules. OK?

You tell 'em, luv!

Problem with most ‘educators’ ‘influencers’ etc, is they speak in absolutes, many a time. Whilst they forget that non of us are arbiters to life… (meet the contradiction in this sentence…) frankly I’m a little done with folk explaining life to me; male or female. I don’t think there’s. Ever been more people explaining to us what we are how and why… yet… how does life all around us seem so chaotic? So directionless? Precisely… it is highly likely that there are in speech, no absolutes… or very very few… take heed… don’t fall for false prophets; prophets of doom. For me, I try keep things small and simple. Gut head and heart, with reflection.

too short for her spot.

I don't always agree with Germaine Greer, but she's great.

I agree about the evils of religious indoctrination. Just as Greer rebelled against old views it is natural for younger people to rebel, however people should not ban ideas but debate them with reason. Women have freed themselves from traditional roles, it is a shame men have not done the same & continue to be shaped by old values & the expectations of women.

We don’t have to go along with anything any government says WE ARE THE PEOPLE,WE ARE THE GOVERNMENT….THEY WORK FOR US AND THEY HAVE FORGOTTEN IT…THEY ARE JUST A 5 year management team ….and bureaucrats just civil servants….WE CAN EDUCATE THEM AGAIN…….THE PEOPLE ARE THE POWER OUR FORE FATHERS GAVE US THAT ..🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

It's an odd argument that free speech means people aren't allowed to criticise you when you say something they don't agree with.

Germaine Greer - hero.

First they came for the men Germaine was happy about this and encouraged it and devoted her life to it. Then they came for the women and there was no men to protect Germaine, Germaine became angry and sad. The end

Who’s here in 2024???

Nyah nyah nysh you tried to pull Cecil Beaton!

Nyah nyah nyah you gave John Peel the clap!

What nonsense. No one can make you feel shame. If you've had a one night stand and feel shame, that's on you, not on Christians. It's proven that promiscuity breeds misery.

Off the rails on gender

People who say such things are people who psychologically need their opinion to be dominant; need their prejudices unquestioned; everything their way and no other way which is counterproductive and they often do it with bullying and cruel forcefulness with little or no understanding of human phycology. If we didn't change/progress we would still support slavery; we would still support men only having the vote. Society changes and no one has ever stopped it changing as no one can. It always has done and always will.

There is no "Death of Free Speech." What Germaine Greer seems to want is the absence of consequences. Even the most appalling people manage to get their views across. Freedom of choice also means that people can not be forced to platform someone whose views they find repugnant. Students have a right to their say in the matter.

Lose women. I did. I've lived a life as free of you as possible.

TERF! TERF! TERF!

Umm, seeing as this stupid blue-rinsed, sanitised and puerile show is one of the killers of free speech, a bit of rich this episode ever happened. And many past presenters of this show also admit this, one of the reasons they left!
