(+) Yeah! (+)

I've never read any of her works. Her first work, The Female Eunuch, sounds like one of the strangest things ever, I mean, David Lynch strange.

What do you think of Germaine Greer, one of the most important living feminists?

She's had quite a bit to say on today's movements, much of which was ironically disapproving. So much that some far leftist critics called for disavowing her from the feminist movement (as if they had that authority)...

I mean when one of the most well-known figureheads of a movement comes back into mainstream and asks "woah wtf happened", that's usually not a good sign.

While she was undeniably influential in developing the feminist movement in the 1970s, since then she has become somewhat contrarian for the sake of it, and for attention seeking purposes.

or today's activism train has gone farther off the rails than what she originally intended and even she's regrettably acknowledged it...

Feminism hasn't gone off the rails. Germaine Greer gets shit because she's transphobic.
