A short excerpt from Episode One premiering January 20, 2019
Episode One (excerpt): Pandora to Yoko: Mythology and Contempt
Maya Contreras reading:
“When sorrows come, they come not single spies.
But in battalions!” - Hamlet, Act IV, Scene V.
(Press conference with Yoko Ono)
That was Yoko Ono in 1971 speaking in front of small group of reporters. She was in the middle of a stressful custody battle with her ex-husband, facing possible deportation due to drug charges leveled against current her husband,
and to make matters worse - she was solely being blamed -by the world - for breaking up the most successful musical group up until that point, the Beatles.
This was the mythology ascribed Yoko that would follow her for decades.
Her name was used as the butt of a joke. When a woman seemed to come in between two male friends, she was called ‘a Yoko’.
Many people ignored how racism was intertwined with misogyny in the mythology of Yoko. Yoko was thought of not just as someone who broke up a beloved band, but a home-wrecker, a gold digger, a social climber.
This type of mythology, the kind that creates disdain and contempt for women, is not new, but that’s where I’ll start, with mythology and misogyny, and how the intersection of the two managed to affect our domestic policy.
