Your take on the words is very different than most - and while I am not denying that it could be the meaning, I think it might be more of a personal feeling and relation you're associating it with than what it was written for. That said, I do believe that it has something to do with diversity and prejudice-- and because of that, perhaps your verdict holds truth. As for "I never met a wise man, If so it's a woman," Cobain was a noted feminist known for vocally displaying his views (which was and still is something scarce in the music industry). He was very much for equality; equality for genders, races, sexual orientation, etc. He may have been hinting at the alleged "wise" men of society not giving consideration to women who were his intellectual equals or superiors, or possibly that some "wise" men have a wife or female colleague who provided reflections and information that lent to people's view of him as being "wise." Here is a quote from Cobain: "At this point, I have a request for our fans. If any of you in any way hate homosexuals, people of different colour, or women, please do us this one favour for us - leave us the fuck alone! Don't come to our shows, and don't buy our records." |

| Cobain was a known and noted feminist, and the piece "Never met a wise man, if so it's a woman," ties to his belief of equality and that men are not the only "wise" ones who deserve to be heard. His material has many references to such matters. | |
