Question

Germaine Greer, a 68-year-old feminist woman, recently published a book filled with pictures of naked underage boys, titled "The Beautiful Boy".

Is this acceptable?

Would you find it creepy if a 68-year-old man published a book filled with naked 13-16 year old girls?

Why are so many feminists proponents of Germaine Greer, a disgusting pedophilic pervert? If you support Germaine Greer, then you support a pedophile.

The boy featured on the cover of Greer's book, Björn Andresen, stated that Greer's use of his picture was "distasteful" and that Greer never asked permission from him to use his picture.

Greer also stated that her purpose for objectifying the male gender in this book was to "advance women's reclamation of their capacity for, and right to, visual pleasure". Okay, that's all fine and dandy, but why not use photos of men 18 and over? Why use children?

Bruce J: Horrible comparison. Pediatricians are not "pedophiles" because they serve a specific purpose of providing medical attention to children. Germaine Greer's book exists simply for the visual (and sexual) pleasure for women.

Fraxinus: Apparently you haven't (selectively) been paying attention to the numerous female teachers that have been having sex with their underaged male students. This has become a phenomena of women teachers committing statuatory rape on young boys.

Chevalier: I haven't read the book, so I wouldn't know if genetalia is featured. But I do know, based on some of the pictures (which I have seen on the internet), along with her sentiments of stimulating visual arousal in women -- do suggest that these photos put these naked young boys in a "sexual light".

Again, why did she choose young boys and not men in their 20's to "appreciate" the "art" that is the male body?

Franzia Kafka: It doesn't matter WHAT she has a PHD in, nor is it relevant that a person know when judging the nature of a book with clear overtones of pedophilia. This is a book about a woman publishing a book (to none of the boys' consent and to their disapproval) involving naked boys depicted in a sexual nature, and for other adult women to take "visual pleasure" (her words) in looking at these naked underage boys.

You mad? Good.

Franzia is angry that she couldn't refute any points I made, so the misandrist resorts to more ad hominem attacks. LOL! Too predictable.

Elle M: Germaine Greer is a woman. Did you actually read the rest of the question before answering?

Franzia Kafka: Wrong again, misandrist. The book is mostly pictorial in nature; not a novel or an essay. I've already quoted her own sentiments about the purpose of the book -- for the "visual pleasure" for women to look at male children. That's all that needs to be said. There is no ulterior meaning behind it -- it's blunt and self-explanatory. Also, you statement that people that volunteer at "Boys & Girls" clubs being pedophile is disgusting. Many people I know that volunteer at such youth centers are genuinely there to help children and give back to their communities, and you slight them with such unwarranted (and false) malice. You are as disgusting as Germaine Greer.

Have you read the book? You seem to be defending her so vehemently and telling others to do their research, but I just want to know if you own a copy of her book featuring naked male boys.

FranziaKafka: Wrong again, misandrist. I'll take your side-stepping answer regarding the ownership of the book as "no", that you don't own the book. I won't purchase the book because I don't support misandrist feminist pedophiles.
And your disgusting comments about the Boys & Girls Club. Why are these disgusting pedophilic thoughts and fantasies coming from *YOUR* mind? I would never let your around any kids.
You want to talk statistics? Who are the biggest perpetrators of domestic violence and domestic abusers again? Men? Nope, sorry. http://antimisandry.com//vbnews/photos/phprG6h6v.gif

You COMPLETELY miss the concept behind statuatory rape. Yes, teenagers are capable of rational thought and knowing right from wrong -- we were all teenagers before, we remember. However, the premise behind statuatory rape is that the ADULT should have far more rational thought than the teenager. The adult has more power and influence and should decide "this isn't right",

Franzia (cont'd):

and can easily override the teenager.
Obviously many of the cases of statuatory rape involve consensual sex, but the adult is supposed to be the one that makes the final decision and prevent any sex from happening. Teenage boys are generally more naive than adult women. Or do you think the knowledge and rationality between a grown woman and a teenage boy are the same? I'm assuming a female supremacist like yourself wouldn't think so.

So you only think statuatory rape is a "load of crap" only now because many adult women are increasingly getting busted for it for having sex with 13-year-old boys?

Answer 1

Women writes book about young naked boys = art
Man writes book about young naked girls = pedophile and jail time

Double standard? Enough said.

Answer 2

Germaine Greer Nude

Answer 3

Shadow Dweller has made the best points of all.

If we take this woman's name out of the equation and just say -do you think this book was done by a pedophile? What is the answer.

Personally, not being into the feminist scene, I have no clue who this woman is, but I think she's a pedophile based on the little bit I know. That boy was objectified and painted in a light that made me uncomfortable.

Answer 4

Ha ha but she cant live with out her creature comforts, technology and user friendly society. Its easy to be an armchair critic. People like her and the poster Michaell are no different from racists or homophobic people... the only difference is that their target group are not protected by PC language codes. "Men bash women because they enjoy it; they torture women as they might torture an animal or pull the wings off flies...." So repell ed are they by their girlfriends, their wives, their sisters, their mothers, and their daughters that they are doing their malevolent best to eradicate us altogethe" Same tone as hitler talking about Jews and other races but its ok because in this case because men are the target and feminists are allowed be a bigoted as they want towards men.

Answer 5

Well, it is certainly not acceptable that she used a picture that was not approved by the model, especially on the cover, where even people who don't buy the book will see it.

I do not understand that woman at all, at all, and I have said that for some 30 years. I don't like her, either, but that's just my thing. Personally, I think the whole radical feminist thing has been more harm than good for women.

But then, sometimes going too far is the only way to help those who don't go far enough. The "screaming queen" is in some sense doing the guy in the closet a favor. Or at least he believes it is a favor. The jury is still out. (Sorry for the pun there.)

Answer 6

If all of this is true any man making that book would be in jail. The idea of such a book is in very poor taste and probably illegal.

Answer 7

Yes, I think she is a sick, disgusting, perverted paedophile (note the spelling is different for we Brits).

For those interested, I supply a list of female paedophiles in a directory - it is currently rather slim, but I have a huge file to add to it so it shall expand int he near future.

Answer 8

She's making a political point. I'm not convinced that she's a pedophile. She doesn't need to be a pedophile to merit disdain. She's done enough already.

Answer 9

ok, first off do you agree with every action every man makes? i highly doubt it. i don't agree with everything all feminsits do. you cannot lump us all into the same category. if you do, you are doing the exact same thing you complain about on here everyday.

for the record, i don't want to see a book of young naked boys. or young naked girls. but don't put this on feminism. and don't post links of sick women as if every bad woman represents me. if thats the case, let me go post some sick men so i can compare them to you. every woman is not the same, every man is not the same and every feminist is not the same.

good day.

Answer 10

she may very well be....
one thing i learned when dealing with pedophiles and thier pics....if the child in the picture is just say standing or sitting and is naked then it is considered art and actually protected by law.. but if the child is spread legged ( such as a girl) or has an erection ( boy) or seeming to play with themselves or an adult is doing something to them then it is porn. but still basically this " art" is a softcore way for pedophiles to get thier rocks off legally.

Anne Geddes is a child artist.
But she does it tastefully. The children are never displayed in a sexual manner...their genitals are never exposed in anyway..the most you may see is a baby butt view from the side. But it is pure innocence. one pic comes to mind...a small white baby girl is laying on her stomach on the back of a very big black male. she is just sleeping peacefully. and he is sitting up but leaning forward very far so the child can rest on his back. he is also nude..but you can see nothing at all..just his side view.The picture is meant to show the difference in frailty and strength. lol oh and if you look close enough at the man's back...she peed on him. :P
Also Anne Geddes is a professional photographer whom ppl pay to take such pictures as these.
Germaine Greer is not.



i used to deal with pedopervs alot online...not so much anymore unfortunately entrapment is now illegal.but you would not believe the information i got out of pedophiles just coz they honestly thought i was a horny 12 yr old little girlah yes it was fun sending thier info to the police at that time...ah good times....i've done my homework.

sorry done rambling now.


hmmm...a thumbs down...could thier be a pedoperv amongst the GWSers? makes me wonder.

ooh 2 thumbs down...hmmm am i striking a nerve with what ive written?

ah i see..5 up and 5 down. so im half loved and half hated...if only i knew who hated me..oh well...kiss my butt..( points to butt) right here.

and to the other 5..loves to ya!
