Brilliance

I happened upon this and I think it's rather brilliant and accurate.

Woman is the nigger of the world
Yes she is...think about it
Woman is the nigger of the world
Think about it...do something about it

We make her paint her face and dance
If she won't be a slave, we say that she don't love us
If she's real, we say she's trying to be a man
While putting her down, we pretend that she's above us

Woman is the nigger of the world...yes she is
If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with
Woman is the slave of the slaves
Ah, yeah...better scream about it

We make her bear and raise our children
And then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother hen
We tell her home is the only place she should be
Then we complain that she's too unworldly to be our friend

Woman is the nigger of the world...yes she is
If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with
Woman is the slave to the slaves
Yeah...alright...hit it!

We insult her every day on TV
And wonder why she has no guts or confidence
When she's young we kill her will to be free
While telling her not to be so smart we put her down for being so dumb

Woman is the nigger of the world
Yes she is...if you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with
Woman is the slave to the slaves
Yes she is...if you believe me, you better scream about it

We make her paint her face and dance

"Woman is the Nigger of the World", by John Lennon

I am proud to be a feminist, and will continue to be a feminist until it is unnecessary to be so.

I'm in it for the long haul, fuckers.


I only wish I could have that kind of eloquence and clearness of thinking when it comes to these topics. I usually just get mad and splutter and sound like an idiot, definitely not furthering the movement of feminism. But I suppose I must allow myself a little as well. I'm 20. I don't know all. There is still time to learn. I just want to learn it quickly so I can stop sounding like I don't know what I'm talking about and finally prove myself and my causes right.I don't want to be the loser standing the wrong way for the right thing.
