If whoever, germaine greer, is opposing something ethically wrong, i.e. restrictions on women's rights, then do you support or reject their ethical position? Which is it?
What sort of reasoning are you using here. If I do something good (stop a criminal from beating an old lady), can you equate this to (germaine greer fighting for women's rights in that state/nation)?
If you can, then it follows that you would take issue with greer, as you write, because you don't believe she/he is banging on issues in the middle east. Well, then can you equate that to the criminal example above. Despite me stopping a criminal from beating an old lady, you believe I'm apparently not in the right because I'm not also stopping criminals an Chile? To me what you wrote is simply wrong.
