When they go after ‘Baby It’s Cold Outside,’ you know #MeToo has gone mad
I know most of the left on the forum will say they arent for this. Ok, Ill believe that too, but you cant deny that what Democrats keep doing is cumulative. From sanctuary cities, to giving illegals medicaid, to medicare for all, to metoo and this kind of idiocy.
You cant run away from the party that you support just gets wackier and more crazy
Dump the eggnog and strip the lights from the Hanukah bush, because the #MeToo movement is coming for holiday fun. #MeToo, which started out as a righteous campaign to stamp out sexual harassment and predation, has gone stark raving bonkers.
Its latest target: the innocent, consensual kiss underneath the mistletoe and a beloved duet that celebrates it.
The charming ditty “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” is all about heterosexual flirtation and attempted seduction. Penned by Frank Loesser in 1944, it’s been covered by the likes of Bing Crosby, Idina Menzel and Michael Bublé, among many others. It was even sung, harmlessly, by Will Ferrell and Zooey Deschanel in the 2003 Yuletide movie “Elf.”
The basic conceit is that, on a cold wintry night — we’re never told which holiday it is — a man implores his beloved to stay inside with him. “Baby, it’s cold outside,” he says. But she insists: “I really can’t stay.”
Now the feminist Grinches claim the song is an artifact of “rape culture”: sexually deviant, suggestive of physical coercion and downright harmful. Time to ban it!
An online campaign to get the song pulled from the airwaves, shopping malls and possibly your home went mainstream last year, thanks to the journalist Mary Nahorniak. She wrote a deadly serious piece in USA Today headlined “Let ‘Baby, It’s Cold Outside’ Fade Away With 2017.”
“In the original score, the male part is written as a ‘wolf’ and the woman as a ‘mouse’ — that speaks volumes about male predatory behavior,” Nahorniak claimed. “Many women know what it’s like to feel trapped by a man, whether emotionally or physically. In those situations, it doesn’t matter how it began or why she wants to leave, it only matters that she wants to go, now.”
