It's simply about the fact that women have been opprssed my men for a long period of time throughout our history as people. I think John saw this because it was still around at the time, as opposed to now where women are becoming much more equal with men in a lot of ways.
When he says, "Women is the nigger of the world, yes she is, think about it", John Lennon is telling the person to understand this metaphor. It's a metaphor because the same way in which niggers, or Black African Americans were treated in this country for a large part of our history, women too have been treated all over the world forever (and this means for most of our history). I love this metaphor and I think more people should understand it: it's very lovely.
Blacks, as well as women (at least in America) are becoming much more accepted as equals among white men, and among men in general. I love how Lennon expressed things so beautifully. Just as my name expresses, Lennon was a pure genius.
