Yes! Thank you for writing this. I’m currently reading Spitz’ book and am appalled at what a terrible image he paints of Yoko. He makes repeated references to John having made a “weird” choice. Why would John’s affection for Yoko be “weird”? Because she wasn’t a cowering flower, and because she’s Asian? Plus, “the public” was never incensed when they learned that the Beatles had all regularly cheated on their wives and girlfriends. Double standards…
Incidentally, while googling to try to find more reactions to this book, I found a Beatles fansite that said that when one of their crew had written to Spitz to point out the inaccuracies in his book, he wrote back and told her to “take an enema” and “get a life.” Nice.

[...] Yoko Ono: A Feminist Analysis (Introduction: Oh Yoko!) : The Curvature "Yoko Ono’s name is tossed around as an insult, sometimes 'jokingly,' sometimes really and truly hatefully. Any woman who dates a male band member and expects to be treated like a person, or any woman who is seen to in some way cause a change in a male artist of any kind, is particularly at risk of being called “Yoko.” To a lesser extent, so is any woman who expects to be given equal consideration as her partner and her partner’s friends friends. Why is it an insult, exactly? Well, because 'everyone' hates Yoko Ono. She’s a mentally unbalanced, scheming, money-grubbing, castrating bitch. Oh, and she broke up the Beatles. Or so they say."
