Germaine Greer, recognised Australian writer, intellectual and feminist has stirred up controversy as she claims women are responsible for driving the depiction of on screen sex and violence.

Ms Greer referenced a study conducted by the University of Texas which says a third of women regularly fantasies about being violated and then linked it to female viewers of crime drama who consume 60-80% of the genre.

The comments have received backlash and even been brought up in conversation about feminist porn as it highlights the intersection between feminist thinking and mainstream media production.
