In the Germaine Greer quote from the opening of this video or in the average gender critical forum post. "The enormous, knuckley, hairy, be-ringed paw, "the pancake make-up through which the stubble "was already burgeoning," "this Neanderthal in his 50s," "ridiculous, insulting-to-women facial expressions." "Now, I was just grossed out." What gender critical feminism really amounts to is a baroque palace of rationalizations built on a foundation of pure disgust. In this respect, it's just like homophobia.
