I think she is brilliant,with one the best minds of my generation,hardly a cretin. I often agree with her,but not always. Not so much with with some of the more extreme, such as Andrea Dworkin ( " all hetero intercourse is rape")
The last time I saw Greer on TV, it was an episode of BBC's Question Time. In that episode, she claimed that a father's relationship with their daughter(s) was a sexual one (a kiss for daddy). Nothing was said about little boys giving their father (or mother) a kiss. She hates men... and doesn't hide it very well.
When I was younger, I knew Germane Greer as a woman who constantly stood up for female rights. More recently, she started campaigning for pensioner rights. Basically, she campaigns for people who are like her... and screw everyone else.
I loathe her.
