[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Re: the song: Back then "good" girls didn't say "yes", they were "wooed" until they finally gave-in. The man conquered. Women weren't allowed to want it. Very harmful for women's sexuality (even if the final result is desire/passion, void of force/dominance)[/quote]

So... that's exactly why no modern person wants to listen to that weird trash.  Ick. [/quote]

There are plenty of modern, sexually confident women who want to be wooed.

Honestly, this thread isn't convincing me that today's women are any more sexually enlightened than they were in the 40s. Quite the opposite in fact. Some posters on this thread sound like they are 12 years old.[/quote]

I'm 80% convinced that most people offended by this song have never been in a real happy and consensual relationship.

Sometimes my husband suggests sex and I say, half heartedly, oh but there's dishes to do, and he pushes and I say, oh I have to start a load of laundry, then he pushes some more and I laugh and run up the stairs with him. That isn't a rapey interaction and the only way I can imagine these women feel like it is is that they've just never experienced what the song is showing.

The only person I know who feels this way ally this song in real life is a very passionate feminist who is also a 30 year old virgin living with her parents who accuses every guy that hits on her of being a stalker.

Humans will never get together again if we can't have some coy courtship!!

I can't imagine my husband coming up to me and asking me to confirm verbally that I want intercourse and immediately always walking away if I hesitate!![/quote]

And I'm 31, voted for Hilary, very feminist. Before some pp accuses be of being ancient and out of touch. [/quote]
