Can someone please explain to me why "baby it's cold outside" is about date rape?

The song is not at all about dubious consent. You are having comprehension issues.

In fact, in the original.portrayal of the song, the version that was most forceful was when the woman was seducing the man. When they man sang to the woman they were either equals or she was the one with the power, not the man.

Not liking the song because you find it trite is fine, but there was nothing dubious about the consent here.

Soooo what? I wasn't there to discuss it. I'm sure other posters weren't either. No bfd, get you know?

On a side note, don't you HATE it when the forum patrol searches through the archives to resurect a three year old thread trying to get people to post there instead, then reports the thread to Jeff and asks him to lock the new thread?

I mean, I understand it there are two threads started the same day or week pointing it out and directing people there.

But pulling up a thread that is years old is just stupid.

Please PP, stop doing that with mundane topics like this. No one but you wants to join a thread about a Christmas carol or a kid's runny nose from 2013.

Even worse, some couple re-wrote the lyrics to make them less offensive (for those who find them offensive). I can't handle their rewrite - maybe I'd get it if I wore my safety pin?

WTF

This is what the genius of feminism has brought us. And in typical catty-female form.

She wants to leave, and he tries to convince her to stay and engaged in intimacy despite her continuing protests. At the very least, it's questionable and uncomfortable rather than romantic. Not a song I enjoy at all.

Just because it is from a different era doesn't mean its meaning is any different.

But she doesn't want to leave. She only thinks she should go because of what others might think. If anything is wrong with the song it's that it takes place during an oppressive, overly puritanical time.

This is not at all what the song is about.

She wants to stay but is afraid of being scandalous.

Like today's college campuses.
