Add it to the list of things I must have missed while living in a cave. Back in 2005 Germaine Greer, seminal feminist, Ph.D. and author of The Female Eunuch was on that nadir of reality shows, Celebrity Big Brother UK.
I'm speechless.
Granted, she walked out after six days. And indicted the show for being bullying and psychologically damaging. But then she appeared on a couple of spinoffs. Even guest starring as herself on Extras isn't enough to make up for that kind of behavior.
Where are the feminist role models? This is how we wind up with Britney and Linsday and Bratz dolls. Thank God for Danica McKellar (yes, Winnie) and Math Doesn't Suck. Even though, actually, it does suck.
