Yoko's been the target of a crapload of racism and sexism. The '60s may be remembered as a time of revolution and liberation but it was still horribly hidebound (it's not really much better now but I digress). The thought that everyone's favourite lad hero could allow himself to be influenced by a Japanese-American feminist conceptual artist was horrifying to some people. Never mind that part of being in love is being able to see things from your beloved's perspective, or that John had always been quite fond of the avant-garde.
