No Woman No Cry

Contrary to popular belief "No Woman, No Cry" was not a song written about getting over a girl. They are the words Bob Marley sings to his woman to assure her that he will return. Basically saying, No woman, don't cry. In the song the man is a travelling minstrel telling his woman he will come back for her.

"So dry your eyes I say, and while I'm gone
everything is going to be alright
everything is going to be alright now
no woman no cry, no woman no cry"

No Woman No Cry

A Bob Marley classic about the oppression of the Jamaican peoples from the government. Its why it's dedicated to the refugees all around the world, who face similar strife. Its also about Africa and the content was mistreated. Jamaica is a sister of that.

"You really like Bob Marley, dont you Benjam?" I asked.

"No Woman No Cry is my favorite." Benjam

No Woman No Cry

A line originally from a Bob Marley song of the same name about comforting a woman and saying that he will come back for her. Ironically, it is now used by young bachelors around the world as a slogan about how they don’t need female companionship, romance, or sex, thus also making it the opposite of the line β€œAll The Single Ladies.” It is also used a lot upon dumping a girl.

Recently, both the gay and transgender male communities have caught on to using this slogan as well. The gay community sees it as saying they are happy not dating women, and the trans male community uses it to distance themselves from the gender they identified as previously.

It is worth noting, however, that many women find this line offensive, sexist, and even as possible sexual harassment due to the fact they feel it ostracizes and dehumanizes them as objects. Most sensible people, however, have called them out on this clearly bullshit excuse.

β€œI just dumped that dumb bitch Sherry, no woman no cry!”
