[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This may have been brought up already, but every reason she gives for needing to leave is external (i.e., what others will think or say)-- not saying she herself doesn't want to stay. She clearly wants to stay. She's playing coy. It has nothing to do with rape or even consent. [/quote]

Yep.

And the husband and wife who wrote the song also performed it in reverse, with her as the aggeessor and the guy as the prey.

The movie was set up this way.

Glad to see that dcum feminists are just as uotight about flirtatious songs as some of those ultra conservative ministers.

You all should should use this as a jumping off point for creating unity between dcum and their most hated entities.[/quote]

Dcum feminist here who actually loves the song. ~shrug~

I do thinks it's pretty interesting that so many think it speaks of a woman not owning it during a time when there was a terrible double standard and women had to play coy, and that it portrays a man attempting to "rape" a woman...when it actually was written during that same time to depict a woman overtly pressuring a man for sex. IOW, thoroughly owning it.[/quote]
