Ms Greer has been described a a faux feminists and a libertine. Her faux feminism attributed to her damning indictment of motherhood and the role that women play in their own suppression. Ms Greer expects opposition and in her book she courts it at every turn. Knowing that militant feminists will charge after her.
The other accusation against her of being a libertine is perhaps a more serious one. Because it is about gender betrayal. Ms Greer is often scathing about female sexuality which she considers subdugated into coyness. She is right about female sexuality being subdugated but rather than claiming that women want to be female eunuchs. She might be better served by looking at the religious restrictions on women being sexually liberated. In this instance Ms Angiers book is a step on by elucidating women's need for sex but the social curtailment of womens sexual exploration being the direct product of religious restraints enshrined in laws. If your being threatened with physical mutilations, rape, burning, stoning or social ostracism as a slut. It is likely that your libido might not be up to much !
Ms Greer book is still ground breaking and I recommend it on the basis of its criticism of how women are reared. Both men and woman should read it. Especially if they are parents with a daughter. Ms Greer though brash and angry still poses some very important questions about how training a girl into submission perpetuates womens lower status especially financially. She cites the nurses strikes in England where the nurses were compromised because their status as compassionate care givers prevented them from striking and securing a wage that they could live of. Other examples which are obviously more anecdotal references to Ms Greer's own youth include her accounts of how women are trained into a servile politeness. Which means that young women are forced to listen to "boring men" chatter on and on and never interject with their own comments.
This occurs because Ms Greer believes women are educated and nurtured into believing themselves intellectually and sexually inferior and incomplete.
I think for this reason alone her book is worth a second glance. Because it would be a lie to claim that these statements have become irrelevant with the passage of time. The process of womens liberation has still along way to go.
