Well, McCain has discontinued treatment, so brace yourselves. Over the next 48 hours, Republicans are going to act like Gandhi died, one of the 2020 hopefuls will tweet the condolences a normal human being says when a colleague dies, Bernie will put out one too but the left will only lose its shit over a woman doing it, some conservative goblin will find a nobody on twitter who was celebrating, Meghan McCain will write 3,000 words in The Federalist about how liberals showed their true colors, he’ll be replaced by someone with a history of white supremacist ties and/or a dozen corruption allegations, life will go on by the next day.

“Most rapes don’t involve any injury whatsoever,” Greer said. “We are told that it is a sexually violent crime, an expert like Quentin Tarantino will tell us that when you use the word rape you’re talking about violence, a throwing them down… it is one of the most violent crimes in the world. Bullshit Tarantino

“Well I’ll tell you what … You might want to believe that the penis is a lethal weapon and that all women live in fear of that lethal weapon, well that’s bullshit. It’s not true. We don’t live in terror of the penis … A man can’t kill you with his penis.”

She questioned a statistic which said that 70% of rape victims had suffered post-traumatic stress disorder compared with 20% of conflict veterans.

“What the hell are you saying? Something that leaves no sign, no injury, no nothing is more damaging to a woman than seeing your best friend blown up by an IED is to a veteran?”


Holy hell, I can’t believe I’m reading this. Rape ruined my life. It has ruined countless women and girls’ lives. Germaine Greer, you are no feminist. You are vile.

There have been increasing levels of lines she’s crossed with me lately. This is the absolute final one.

After all the evidence of what just happened in Ireland recently too.

“A man can’t kill you with his penis.” Sure, that’s why a girl in my class had to have at least four surgeries to repair the internal damage after she was gangraped at age 12. She bled out and nearly died repeatedly, you condescending rape apologist piece of shit. Last I heard, she’s still got permanent GI and reproductive issues because of it, over 15 years later. Anyone who agrees with Germaine Greer on this can fucking burn for all I care.

Another “feminist” proving how anti feminist they actually are.

Greer is for ever cancelled

Liberal feminist are not feminist. They are women that want to protect and coddle the male sex.

I wish people understood that the vast majority of ‘bloggers’ on Tumblr have no idea what the fuck they’re talking about. Most of the discourse on this hellsite is just well-intentioned people parroting what they’ve read in popular text posts written by ignorant, narcissistic people who use their extremely limited, flawed, and often warped knowledge to elevate their social status. And since we’ve somehow decided that follower counts & the amount of notes on posts are reliable indicators of what is true/right/progressive, and since this whole website works like a goddamn cult where any semblance of disagreement with the currently accepted dogma is enough to get death threats, it just creates a vicious cycle where people’s ignorance and fear of being ostracised feeds other people’s ignorance and fear.

The entirety of mainstream Tumblr “feminism” & “activism” is based on virtue signaling, peer pressure, black-and-white thinking, misusing concepts, diluting theory, twisting scientific research, and spreading misinformation, lies and half-truths. People constantly use terms they simply don’t understand–terms whose meanings have been diluted and twisted so much that hardly no one knows where they come from, why they were created or what they actually mean.

Having a lot of followers doesn’t make a person smart or knowledgeable. Something isn’t true or right or progressive just because a lot of people say it is, because everyone seems to believe it, or because it’s written in a snarky tone. Please stop using Tumblr as your main source of information on feminism or other social justice issues (or anything, really). Stop giving so much power to random people on the Internet. Learn to think for yourself even if it’s uncomfortable. Don’t be afraid to analyse and question everything you read or hear. And please check sources instead of

believing everything you read.
