LETTER:Ms Greer and the virginal student
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From Mr Andrew Buck
Sir: I have been unable to stop laughing ever since I read Germaine Greer's column last Friday. I cannot get out of my head the vision of a panic- stricken, newly qualified, young and gauche physician, totally unprepared by any of his teachers in the clinical art of dealing with a sex-mad Australian quizzing him about whether he wears a condom, when he does it, how often he does it, and so on and so forth. Worse, the poor sod was locked in a speeding motor-car with his questioner all the way to Cambridge. God, what a nightmare!
Mind you, from the account, I thought he managed very well in the end.
Yours sincerely,
Andrew Buck
