Yeah, I know it's from the Daily Mail but it's all direct quotes so it should be accurate.

Germaine Greer was branded a disgrace yesterday after claiming British troops would rape women while at war.

The feminist outraged military leaders after she suggested highly-disciplined UK ground forces might commit acts of appalling sexual brutality if deployed to Libya.

Her remarks were made on BBC1’s Question Time as the 72-year-old cast doubt on allegations that Colonel Gaddafi had given his soldiers Viagra and ordered mass rapes as a weapon against rebels.

In other remarks that triggered anger, Germaine Greer claimed young girls could be sexualised by ‘kissing their fathers goodnight’.

.....

‘There’s always been this sinister culture that has gone along and it has always been sexual,’ she said.

‘The Barbie doll herself is a fetish, she’s descended from a sex toy. Little girls learn to flirt with their fathers.’ She continued: ‘You know, “Kiss daddy goodnight” – and all this sort of business.

Okay Greer, thanks for your work on feminism in the past but it's well past time you ****ed off.

Who are you talking to? There's no women on HLP.

Feminism isn't limited to women.

Barbie is descended from an anatomically correct doll. Beyond that...

Bro is trolling you yo

This woman sounds crazy, however her declaration that British troops will rape people if deployed to a foreign country is, on balance, probably 100% correct (swap British for [country] at your discretion)

It's just sort of a thing you expect.

But these are civilized white men from the west, you must understand that they don't ever do that kind of thing.

feminism should be declared a mental illness. seriously this crap has gone way too far.

[Mustang19]

So what? There are no women on HLP. There are civilized white men but no women. There are no women on HLP. And you remember what happened the one time there was a woman in General Discussion. So this whole thread is totally pointless without a female. We're just a bunch of under forty men discussing feminism now.

Now its 12 AM an everyone needs to go to sleep.

Given that this brand of feminism is from like 50 years ago I don't think this is a particularly salient response, then again nuke

There are actually a couple women, some of us also live with them

[Scotty]

-Sara-, for one.

[Mustang19]

I'm confused where this is going. Is GB trying to salvage an intellectual discussion out of this thread or is he subtly initiating a I-live-with-a-woman-and-you-dont pissing contest? Because either way he loses before the first shot is fired. Oh wait, not to imply I live with my mother or anything.

[General Battuta]

I was just saying there are clearly female voices here, either directly or through people who have firsthand contact with the issues women face.

[Mustang19]

Good. I know we're all bang up guys too but let's keep it free of homoerotic innuendo this time.

[General Battuta]

Why

Did I miss something?

Does Zoltar accept bitcoins?

[Mustang19]

No... coins.

You never played with one of those things when you were a kid? You can buy them on Ebay for like $9000.

I'm still awake.

I'm sorry, but if Zoltar doesn't accept bitcoins, I guess I'll never know the answer to my question. The only other method of payment I could offer might involve homo-eroticism, which is disallowed in this thread.

I just made a joke about sexually molesting an analog fortune-telling machine. I think I'll go to bed.
