The former Beatle was trying to make a pro-feminism point, declaring that women were actually the most exploited members of society.

Cynthia Lennon was unavailable for comment.

Weird thing about the Beatles...everyone talks about everything about them except the fact that their music sucked...just like this song!

Lennon regularly beat women, putting both his wives in the hospital. He also beat his stage manager to the ground and kicked him until his spleen burst and he died. And, Lennon liked to go our after Beatles concerts and in his words, “Roll Queers.”

Lennon was a violent, nasty ass.

“an era in which racial epithets were thrown around freely”

No, they weren’t. More concerning is that it got so much fame and is such a wretched song.

We are far worse off because no one will print that damn word. Lots of racist or offensive words, and if they were part of a story they just printed it. Didn’t make the word any more polite but didn’t elevate it to some kind of taboo.

I recall this started with the OJ trial and the news wouldn’t repeat the word.

The song’s title actually came from Lennon’s wife, Yoko Ono,

Well there ya go, he got attacked because he was an epic simp who let his wife put him in terrible positions just because she could and because she got off on knowing that she had all the power. Just like Jada Pinkett Smith and Megan Markle. Yoko gets a lot of heat but she's far from the only woman to do this sort of thing to men. There are men that put similar power trips on the woman in their lives, of course. It's not a female thing. But the public humiliation thing seems to be something that toxic women go for more than their male equivalents do.

The writer’s name is shown as Corey Irwin.
Am I the only one who remembers a comedian named
Dr. Irwin Corey? He was on TV a lot.
A parody of a Mad Scientist. Grade A Screwball.

The word originally did not mean a black person. It referred to someone of the lowest class. It was not specifically about race. It’s another word the left has changed the meaning.

Lenin (sic) only opened his mouth when he needed to change socks.

“but each of them has his own slaves and that’s usually the wife.”

If that is your view of marriage and wives you are one sick puppy.

““Woman Is the —— of the World.” “

I wondered WHAT could that be. I had to google it and to my surprise the word is “nigger”.

It’s an actual word. Used by African Americans EVERY time they speak.

Apparently used by John Lennon in some dumb song where the word makes ZERO sense.

In THIS case, WHY is it a bunch of dashes? A word used in EVERY rap song, but NOT okay when used as a lyric in a white guy’s song?

I REALLY just don’t understand it.

If John had inserted the word “Islamic” right before the word “World”, the song would have made a valid point.
