So I guess I can't watch Elf anymore...

I just heard a story on TV that a rape prevention organization is organizing a boycott of the song "Baby It's Cold Outside" because it is really just a song about date rape, and a man aggressively trying to have sex with a woman against their will.

  • So what about versions where the roles are reversed?  Or are those versions just about  whores who looked at cucumbers and will send young girls into a humping frenzy?
  • Yeah, I realized that a while ago, once I started really listening to the words. It's one of my very favorites, so I just try to interpret it as "It was the '50s" and she really DID want to stay, but The Man was keeping her down and repressing her right to express her sexuality. Helps me sleep at night :-)
