[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's still creepy.  Sorry to ruin your precious memories, but it's a creepy[b] date rapey[/b] song.[/quote]
What's with the baby talk?[/quote]

Excuse me.  Let me translate it into PC Bullshit for you:

The song makes me deeply uncomfortable.  Even though it was from a *different time*, I still find the lyrics to be extremely problematic.  Here you have a woman who is worried for her reputation, alone in a situation with a man who is trying to subtly force himself on her.  He tries to intoxicate her, refuses to get her things so that if she leaves she's at the mercy of the elements and basically does everything he can to take her agency away from her.  This is the sort of man who sees women as objects to be conquered, used and discarded at his leisure.  It's not some adorable little winter time carol for lovers to serenade each other with.  At best it's a parable about how when we view human beings as sexual creatures males are always lauded for their studly prowess while females are branded as low and without worth.  At it's worst it glorifies the type of man who feels no need to obtain a woman's consent before engaging in sexual activities with her.[/quote]
