It seems the world is giving more attention to "crazies" than it is to common sense. Just because someone is offended does not mean that the remaining people in the room give them merit for the making their point. Granting media attention only give oxygen to this fire. In response, wouldn't it be nice for someone to say, "That's nice. Now take your seat."
I dunno... the first time I heard "cold outside" my first thought was "this song is sort of rapey", I mean it's quaint and certainly from a different time...
But it's rapey... I didn't need some media outlet to tell me.
I'm not calling for it to be banned.. but come on... in any other condition if you read the text or heard the conversation.. .the correct thing to do would be to tell the guy to settle down, that getting someone drunk to take advantage of them is not cool and akin to roofying them, and you offer to get the girl out of the situation.
Just cause it's to a clever little jingle it makes you confused to the fact that this is a rapey song.
I'm not calling for it to be banned, and I'm sure that the song writers and singers did not think it was so rapey.. it's also from another time.. when things like this weren't socially unacceptable.
But, come on, you know it's rapey... don't lie. You know it. If it were a real scenario and it was your daughter there you would go in and punch that guy in the throat.
Come on, let go of your cognitive dissonance. You know I'm right.
