WHY JOHN LENNON IS A BAD MAN

I would like to start saying that I love The Beatles more than anything in the world, and even though he was the best songwriter of the four of them, he was a really bad person.

Firstly, he was a really abusive and controlling on his girlfriends, including Cynthia (the mother of his first son) and Yoko. He was the one that made Yoko follow him everywhere, and shamed her for all the other men she had slept with. He was a misogynistic man, and you can evidence that on the Beatles song "Run For Your Life". (And also an extremely misogynistic and racist song, "Woman is the n***** of the world". Many people say that he was singing that to "do something about the oppression that black people and women were facing", but I think these are stupid excuses for the way he acted) 

Secondly, he was a bad father. He lost a major part of his son Julian's childhood, and when he left Cynthia for yoko, he just left him. Julian said later that Paul McCartney was more of a father than John ever was. (He even wrote a song for him to deal through the hard times he was dealing with, "Hey Jude") 

Thirdly, he was homophobic, once almost beating a man to death for asking if he was in a relationship with their then manager Brian Epstein. He never apologized and blamed it on being drunk. In a 1980 interview he said that he did it because "when you are 21 you want to be a man" and that he wouldn't care if someone said that to him again. In spite of what he said, I think the way he stood up to what he did was really immature.

In conclusion, I have absolutely nothing bad to say of most of his songs (or his physical appearance :Q_), but many things that he did and said were offensive to a lot of people.

Miss, please don't hate me is the truth.
