Ok people...here is what i think....I think you will agree.
The song Woman is the Nigger of the World means that John acknowledges the fact that women have been oppressed for a long time...hundreds of years ago they were only good for bearing children (as people thought.....it was only until about 80 years ago that women could vote.
He is comparing them to niggers* (I am not using this as a racial slur, just taking a piece of the song title to use for comparison), but black people had been oppresseed as slaves up until 1865, and that was about all the potential that was given to them at that time.
So therefore he had compared both of them together in a song because he realized that they both have been oppressed.I am a man that has realized the same thing as John Lennon has, and now just wrote about it.
@TidewaterHippie, I think more to the point, John was comparing but the truth is/was that all women are subservient to men, and minority women are oppressed even by minority men. I think John's message is loud and clear.
