I COULDN’T believe what I was hearing last Thursday on BBC Question Time.

I thought Germaine Greer had moved on from her radical feminist views of the Sixties – but it seems she’s stopped taking her medicine.

I’m a supporter of the mainstream feminist lobby – but lunatics like Ms Greer do the cause a great disservice.

She actually said “All soldiers in certain circumstances will rape” – not “might” but “will” – and she added to her stupidity by suggesting that little girls learn to flirt with their fathers by giving them a goodnight kiss.

I’m all for free speech, because it enables us to observe for ourselves what some idiots wish to say.

That said, when the likes of Ms Greer come out with such comments I’d much rather that the functional part of her brain encouraged her to put super-glue on her lips, rather than some lipstick.
