A headline says that women are "crying foul" as Glamour magazine is expected to name Bruce/Caitlin Jenner "Woman of the Year." Jenner is expected to share the honor with Reese Witherspoon.

Honestly, I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

But I am enjoying the brouhaha feminist author Germaine Greer, whose  The Female Eunuch, was one of the most discussed books of the 1970s, has stirred up with her comments on Jenner and also on the Glamour selection. The Guardian reports:

Germaine Greer has accused TV star Caitlyn Jenner of stealing the limelight from other female members of the Kardashian family, in comments likely to further alienate campaigners who object to the writer and commentator’s views about transgender people.

The Australian-born writer courted controversy in an interview with BBC2’s Newsnight by claiming that “misogyny played a big part” in the rumoured decision by Glamour magazine to give Jenner its woman of the year award.

She also refused to back down from her position that transgender women, who have begun life as men before undergoing surgery and hormone treatment to become women, are “not women”, saying they do not “look like, sound like or behave like women”.

One upping Ms. Greer, a critic who is circulating a petition to prevent the famous feminist from speaking at  Cardiff University charges that Greer has “demonstrated misogynistic views towards trans women, including continually misgendering trans women and denying the existence of transphobia altogether.”

 Greer is unrepentant:

Addressing claims that she had been hurtful towards transgender women, Greer added: “People are being hurtful to me all the time. Try being an old woman. For goodness sake, people get hurt all the time. I’m not about to walk on eggshells.”
