Nov. 2nd, 2010 02:17 pmOn the one hand, if there's one thing you can rely on Germaine Greer for, it's shouting when shouting is warranted (and often when it is not) - in this case, shouting about Stephen Fry.
On the other hand, she thinks women aren't interested in genital encounters with total strangers! Because Germaine Greer can totally speak for all women, ever! And no women EVER have one night stands. No. Certainly not.
There wasn't, like, an actual prize awarded at my college for the most spectacular hook-up or, preferably, series of hookups over the course of Orientation Week.
Perhaps that's a new invention since Germaine Greer was at college. Or perhaps she thinks that all the female participants in such mating rituals are non-consenting.*
UGH.

BUT Y'KNOW, SOME WOMEN AND GIRLS ENJOY CASUAL SEX WITH BLOKES THEY'VE JUST MET. OR GIRLS THEY'VE JUST MET. OR BOTH. SOMETIMES BOTH AT ONCE. See also: the kink community! Swingers' clubs! Craigslist!
