Woman Is the Nigger of the World

[бубенчиков]

"Woman is the Nigger of the World" is a 1972 song by John Lennon and The Plastic Ono Band. The phrase was originally coined by Yoko Ono during a magazine interview in 1969. Lennon later said during his Live in New York City album that it took him until 1970 to "dig it." He was hoping to show how women were and still are being treated.
The song lambastes the perceived traditional role of woman's subservience to man across all cultures. It was banned from radio airplay because of the word 'nigger', though it was played on WHRW-FM, and many prominent blacks, including black comedian Dick Gregory, spoke out in defense of the song.

Лучше всего объясняет сам Джон Леннон в своем выступлении на ТВ:

Многие могут возразить, дескать, времена изменились, прошло три декады.
Так ли???
Разве здесь часто не появляются посты мужчин, которые до сих пор считают, что место женщине на кухне, рожать детей, и на большее она не способна. И говорят подобные мужчины о женшинах, как о disposable pleasures.
Женщин, же, добившихся успеха в жизни, имеющего свое мнение, эти мужчины с трудом переносят. То и дело возникают "перестрелки"...
Мы все это здесь видим.

А как вы думаете, по-прежнему ли актуальна мысль, высказанная Джоном Ленноном и Йоко Оно о том, что Woman Is the Nigger of the World?

Мысль неактуальна, потому, что не отражает раеалии сегодняшнего дня. В настоящее время женщины (как и негры) имеют больше привилегий чем мужчины.
Женщины имеют специальные квоты для женщин, когда часть государственных и часто и корпоративных контрактов присуждается т.н. женским компаниями на внеконкурентной основе.
Также женщины значительно реже сидят в тюрьме, чем мужчины потому что за одно и тоже преступление женщины получают значительно более мягкие наказания.
Права женщин в семье существенно отличаются от прав мужчин, когда женщина имеет безоговорочную материальную поддержку от мужчины если у неё родился ребёнок, даже если не от мужа. В то время как разведённые мужчины часто не могут добиться свидания со своими детьми.

а сколько джёков и грязи на Сару Пейлин вылили! Если бы ето была не женщина - а жирный-старый-страшный-мужик ему бы простили всё и не докапывались бы до каждой фразу!

в скандинавии больше смысла в политике и жизни - потому что больше процент женщин в гаверменте.

Women can use sex to get what they want. Men cannot, as sex is what they want.

Да, а мужчин сажают в тюрьму за половые отношения с несовершеннолетними, женщин же за подобное преступление отправляют на курортную психологическую реабилитацию.
