Yep and all the songs talking about pimps taking care of their bitches and hoes does not contribute to the “systemic sexual predation that pervades every corner of society”. Ever really listened or read the lyrics of “Drop It like It’s Hot”?
The song was written before the I Love Lucy show aired, in that show the Husband and Wife did not even share a bed. The first time this song was ever sung it was a Husband and Wife who sang it; this is not a song about a date rape.
Does “Baby, it’s Cold Outside” get any pass because it’s art or a form or expression? Some of those artistic loop holes appear to only apply to some.
Direct Quotes:
That interpretation of the song, made popular in a Tumblr post in 2016, posits that the woman would like to stay but is held back by societal norms of the 1940s, in which an unmarried woman staying over at a man’s house would be scandalous. Her reasoning for leaving all relates to other people — what will the neighbors think, her mother will worry — and doesn’t show a personal hesitation from spending the wee hours with her love interest.
But as a final word, in the viral Tumblr post, the author writes that Baby It’s Cold Outside is “one of the best illustrations of rape culture that pop culture has ever produced. It’s a song about a society where women aren’t allowed to say yes … which happens to mean it’s also a society where women don’t have a clear and unambiguous way to say no."
It’s time for our Christmas carols to match our evolving culture.
