Feminist academic Germaine Greer has a problem with Beyoncé’s clothing.

Greer complimented Beyonce’s talent, but expressed her disappointment in her expression of sensuality in her new BBC documentary Germaine Bloody Greer, reports The Guardian.

“Someone like Beyoncé – who I think is a fantastic musician, a beautiful voice as true as a bell – why has she always got to be f*cking naked and have her tits hanging out? Why?” Greer asked.

“I’m not saying you have to keep your clothes on, but why is sexual display part of the job? I might as well ask that question to a barmaid who says she doesn’t get any tips if she doesn’t show cleavage.”

Greer also criticized athlete’s choice of clothing, using figure skaters as an example.

“Why do women athletes have to be naked? I watched bloody figure skating and the woman is virtually naked. She has got a few wisps of cloth and the man is in evening dress. You think nakedness is usually a sign of submission, it’s a sign of inequality,” said Greer.

In peak white feminist fashion, Greer herself has posed nude, but considers her pictures to be “revolutionary” and a “disruptive gesture”.

Greer is pretty good at making headlines for outlandish commentary.

In late May, she brushed off the severity of rape while promoting her book at a festival, according to Sky News.

"Most rape is just lazy, just careless, just insensitive. Every time a man rolls over on his exhausted wife and insists on enjoying his conjugal right, he is raping her," Greer 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. Sex where there is no communication, no tenderness, no mention of love."

The 79-year-old also said rapists should get 200 hours of community service and an “R” tattoo on their cheek or hand.
