“Woman Is The Nigger Of The World”

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 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 is above us
Woman is the nigger of the world…yes she is
If you don’t belive me take a look to the one you’re with
Woman is the slaves of the slaves
Ah yeah…better screem 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 would 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 belive me take a look to the one you’re with
Woman is the slaves of the slaves
Yeah (think about it)

We insult her everyday 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 belive me take a look to the one you’re with
Woman is the slaves of the slaves
Yes she is…if you belive me, you better screem about it.

[Repeat:]
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance

 

Det er kvindernes internationale kampdag og hundredåret for kvindernes stemmeret. I det forgangne år har man – kvinder og mænd – bl.a. strides om, hvad feminisme er. Og det er vel et sundhedstegn, at nogen kan komme i tvivl om begrebets betydning. Selv vil jeg blot nøjes med at undre mig over, at verden i sin helhed ikke er blevet bedre med den større ligestilling mellem kønnene. Der skal mere til en ligestilling mellem kønnene for at skabe en bedre verden…
