Is it about date rape? Context: https://www.npr.org/2018/12/05/673770902/baby-it-s-cold-outside-seen-as-sexist-frozen-out-by-radio-stations https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/deanmartin/babyitscoldoutside.html
Liberals finding a way to remain outraged at everything.
They never offer a good solution though except take more from others
If things are so bad in the world (as liberals claim) then why do they have to keep making shit up to be outraged about? Really makes you think.
Let's just go ahead and destroy everything while we are at it...Liberalism is a true mental disorder...this will be the next targets: 1. I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus: subjecting minors to softcore porn 2. The Christmas Song: Open fire? Pollution. Folks dressed up like Eskimos? Cultural appropriation 3. Holly Jolly Christmas: Kiss her once for me? Unwanted advances 4. White Christmas? Racist 5. Santa Claus is Coming to Town: Sees you when you’re sleeping? Knows when you’re awake? Peeping Tom stalker 6. Most Wonderful Time of the Year: Everyone telling you be of good cheer? Forced to hide depression 7. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: Bullying 8. It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas: Forced gender-specific gifts: dolls for Janice and Jen and boots and pistols (GUNS!) for Barney and Ben 9. Santa Baby: Gold digger, blackmail 10. Frosty the Snowman: Sexist; not a snow woman 11. Do You Hear What I Hear: blatant disregard for the hearing impaired 12. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas: Make the yuletide GAY? Wow, just wow 13. Jingle Bell Rock: Giddy up jingle horse, pick up your feet: animal abuse 14. Mistletoe and Holly: Overeating, folks stealing a kiss or two? How did this song ever see the light of day? 15. Winter Wonderland: Parson Brown demanding they get married…forced partnership.
I know it's all the rage to rip on snowflake millenials, but when I listen to the song it sounds a lil rapey to me. Maybe if you've never been raped, or had a date rape attempted on you, you'd disagree. The song was written in a different time: A time when men controlled everything and women were trophies that ran the home. I think it's ok to ban the song because the biggest concept around rape culture (that is not taught in schools) is consent. The song has a woman who clearly wants to leave, is worried about getting home safely and a man who isn't listening to her wanting to go. Instead of helping her figure out how to get home, he's pressuring her to stay and ignoring her no. Insyead of making her feel safe and comfortable (I'll set you up in the guest room / on the couch), he pursues keeping her there to cuddle more. Sounds rapey to me and if it helps one young boy in the world understand the concept of consent better, then it's a win for women everywhere.
Talking to a woman = raping her in 2018. So yes this song is about rape. It’s not right.
Hardcore liberal atheist here- I like my Christmas music and I think this one is jazzy. I understand how this song can come off iffy but I still sing along. I like the rendition with Seth MacFarlane.
Father Figure https://g.co/kgs/eKrjic If at all we start banning and boycotting songs, let's start with this one. So pedo!
I like the song and still play it every winter season but the lyrics are still very rapey. But it wasn't so long ago that it was simply a woman playing "hard to get", a man had to be persistent to show how much he wanted her. Today this is no longer acceptable apparently.
More accepted by a certain generation, certain background and certain nationality. I would not be surprised if most US women still want to be courted, persuaded and “conquered“. It really boosts their ego. Snowflakes are a rare breed, who cares what they are offended by.
Perhaps, but if the culture is shifting then I think it's best to readjust your baseline. Otherwise you end up being that weird rapey dude.
It’s offensive—the lyrics itself is not by itself but the female voice keeps responding and that changes things
Imagine banning music because of your own ignorance and projection. Have we looped back and became fundamentalist Christians?
