Face to Face with Kim Hill - Germaine Greer

Australian feminist author Germaine Greer tells Kim Hill that "it's time to get angry again". She’s angry that female health treatments for breast and cervical cancers are forms of control that are actually out of control. Greer opines that women are over-medicated, in fear of their bodies and deeply insecure about the way they look. She talks about the grassroots feminist revolution that never happened, and the totemic feminist text — her "lucky book" —The Female Eunuch.

Most women are over medicated, most men are under medicated. Maybe we’d like for them to reach some sort of equilibrium, but I think being over medicated frankly, is a great deal worse than being under medicated. A lot of our problems stem from the fact we take too much medicine.
