Even more on the proposed law to make it necessary to name a child's father:

Germaine Greer: A dad's role will never equal a mum's

Greer's argument seems to boil down to saying: because women experience greater emotional intensity over having a child - having it grow inside them for 9 months - they therefore far more important than fathers, who are essentially expendable. Of course, this is the matriarchal system that Greer has devoted her life towards promoting. Its the system that results in society becoming a poverty and violence stricken ghetto. Yes, women do experience greater physical intensity in having a baby grow inside them, but this does not necessarily make them a far better parent. For example, women in the UK now abort 1-in-4 of their offspring. You don't find the likes of Greer complaining about that.

I posted this, but it didn't appear.

Replace the words "men" and "fathers" with the word "blacks" and you'll get banned BNP propaganda. I'm amazed a Labour government doesn't take steps to outlaw such bile. The one clear thing emerging from Germaine's report is that feminism has now had its day.

Heretic has written a great piece on this.

So the childless, dried-up, man-hating old bint now pronounces herself an expert on both the maternal and paternal experience, neither of which she has ever come close to in her life. The former because no man would ever touch her with a ten-foot barge pole, and the latter because despite all the desperate wishful thinking and copycat posturing, women can never become men or understand our lives.

But she magically knows enough about both to pronounce - surprise, surprise - that the maternal experience is so much more profound, more important and simply, well, superior.

Utter tosh.

Why does the media continue to indulge this tedious old goat with her highly-predictable, one-sided and worthless opinions? She has absolutely nothing of value to contribute. She is history.
