Omg, what is it? The season? Two much eggnog? An election which left Lefties unhinged?
ZitatThe din gets a little louder every year – delicate lefties who want to ban a classic Christmas song, claiming it “promotes date rape.”
The song “Baby It’s Cold Outside” – written in 1944 – is essentially a back-and-forth between the male and female singers with the guy trying to keep the woman from leaving. It’s lighthearted and fun and is no more “rapey” than it is merely seductive. But to leftists, being seductive is “date rape” now.
The “movement,” if you could call it that, started a few years ago when leftist declared the song should be banned. “This song sounds like the intro to a Lifetime movie about a horrific incident of date rape. And we are tortured, yearly, with its creepiness,” they write.
I am such a clueless chauvinist. I have always considered this a cute ditty in which the guy tries to convince her to stay while the gal half-heartedly offers reasons why she has to go. How was I supposed to know the male was merely interested in assaulting her and the female was thick as a brick?
I am so ashamed.
Here is one version of this crypto-pornographic song of the many, many recordings done over the years. I chose this one because it has the lyrics so you can see for yourself how disgusting it is [females and servicemen please note caution warning]. Besides I like Dean Martin.
