Faulking Around - Mar 14, 2006 - Printable Version
- Woman is the Nigger of the World
by Mark Faulk
(Editor's note: this commentary contains "colorful" language. If that offends you, don't read the damn thing.) Once again, let's get straight to the faulking point: Want to know what the real purpose of MySpace is? To persuade amazingly intelligent and creative women to post hot pictures of themselves so that shallow, sexist men (And I use the term "men" loosely) can convince them that the only way to achieve self-affirmation is to compete with every other slut on MySpace for gratuitous sexual gratification.
Yes ladies...MySpace is high school all over again, and you're only appreciated for your outer beauty.....again. Want to get noticed? It's all about looks, it's all about sexy, it's all about being the groupie. Strut your stuff.
Have an intelligent opinion? Creative? Politically aware? Socially intuitive? Forget it, bitch, there's only one way to feed your fragile ego here. Want to get noticed? Want to get stroked? Want to overcome your insecurities? The important thing is how fucking hot and suggestive are you? Do you put out? Will you talk dirty to me online? Maybe then I'll notice you. Put it in your headline....tell us how sexy you are, show us what you got.
Otherwise? You ain't shit. And once again, men have succeeded in degrading women to the point where they feel compelled to grasp at any cheap gratuitous compliment they can entice out of any good-looking member of the opposite sex (or the same sex, as the case may be), and re-inforced their role as nothing more than eye candy put on Earth for our sexual gratification.
Shame on us for falling into that same old tired line of bullshit, shame on you for thinking that cheap sexual compliments will make you feel better about yourself on the inside, the only place where it really counts...the place where your true beauty lies.
Shame on all of us for letting women, the more intelligent of the human species, be once again relegated to mere sex objects.
John Lennon had it right 37 years ago, and sadly, it hasn't changed a bit since:
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
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
