I think calling all women "the last remaining slave class" is a bit of a reach. There are real slaves around today, and guess what? Forced male labor is a significant part of that. The women who "are expected to clean-eat their way out of it" are not a "slave class", and in my opinion its incredibly offensive and tone-deaf to say so.

I do agree that Greer is a massively important thinker and writer, and I consider discovering her work to be a big moment for my own development. She has a way of cutting through the bullshit that is unparalleled. She also was NOT very invested in her contemporary womens movement, and refused to play party politics with the womens lib organizations of the time.

Last time I looked, there was a really interesting documentary about her on YouTube- it covered her whole career, and is really worth the watch. I'll try to find a link and share it.
