In 1999, Greer published The Whole Woman. Here, she attempted to compare FGM - which is forced upon young girls who have no rights of refusal - with breast enhancement, which is an adult woman's choice. For Greer, an operation that robs a woman of the right to enjoy sex is justifiable as it is a part of "culture".This is a sick woman.
In 2004, Greer wrote: "I get a bit worried about certain heavily veiled ladies driving because they have no peripheral vision at all. You can understand why in some countries they are not allowed to drive." . . .

. . . It should be noted that according to Salman Rushdie, Greer refused to sign a petition condemning the 1989 fatwa by Ayatollah Khomeini which was in effect a death sentence against the author.
And read the whole article for its insights into the curious silence of Western feminists about Islamic oppression of women. Western feminism has been afflicted with no small number of second rate intellects and second rate women . . . .
