REALLY CAN'T STAY BUT BABY, IT'S COLD OUTSIDE.
Meme used on a "ebaum's meme list":http://www.ebaumsworld.com/pictures/47-weekend-memes-that-will-make-you-bust-a-gut/85837621/ joking how radio stations won't play Baby It's Cold Outside but here is a song of "Cardi B":/memes/people/cardi-b telling everyone about something much worse to highlight the discrepancy.
"Baby, It's Cold Outside" is a Christmas classic! If you think about it, the lyrics are kind of r----. "What's in this drink?" Probably roofies, am I right?? Context is important! Given the era in which the song was written, it's about two people who both want to stay to- gether, but due to prudish social norms neither of them can say so explicitly. He's offering excuses to stay and she's feigning profest--an expected (and nec- essary exchange in a society where a womań couldn't just say "yes" outright. Context IS important, and to most modern listeners, it sounds an awful lot like a woman trying to leave and a man coercing her into staying. It may have been progressive at the time for allowing a single woman to playfully exercise her sexual agency in a patriarchal society, but nowadays we're a lot more conscious about consent. The subtext and humor are no longer obvious--and without that, the lyrics are uncomfortable. Not all art should be expected to age perfectly, so maybe we shouldn't keep re-recording an easily misconstrued song that relies on an outdated conception of sexual politics It's just kind of a crappy song
