So-called feminist Germaine Greer has angered survivors of rape after she made dismissive comments about the form of sexual assault while speaking at the Hay Literary Festival this week.
Greer described the crime - which holds a maximum punishment of life imprisonment - as 'bad sex', and went on to say most cases of the assault are mere demonstrations of laziness.
'Most rape is just lazy, just careless, just insensitive,' she told her audience at the festival.
'Most rapes don’t involve any injury whatsoever,' Greer continued. 'We are told that it is a sexually violent crime, an expert like Quentin Tarantino will tell us that when you use the word rape you’re talking about violence, a throwing them down... it is one of the most violent crimes in the world. Bullshit Tarantino.'
Diminishing rape and the trauma it can cause even further, the writer said: 'Instead of thinking of rape as a spectacularly violent crime – and some rapes are – think about it as non-consensual, that is, bad sex.'
