A glimpse of history - watch Germaine Greer demolish Larry Zolf.

My apologies to those on dial-up (there are ways to download and watch this offline). But Tuesday is the 37th anniversary of this event and I didn't want to miss it.

A Wobbly in drag? Since when were all Wobblies men? The IWW organized without regard for gender or racial lines.

Zolf is an idiot.

Geez, if he'd shut the fuck up and let her answer the question, it would be much more interesting! Boy, he sure was an ass! A totally sexist creep!

But it's hard to judge people by how they were 37 years ago. Hopefully he's changed a bit over the years.

genstrike, the funny thing is, he called her "a female wobbly in drag".

Does that mean she's dressed up in men's clothes?

Time can be the best revenge: his daughter is a strong feminist. Who writes family into poetry.
