    Activists push to ban 'Baby It's Cold Outside' because it promotes date rape

    I wish this was a fake news satirical story, but sadly, it’s true. Liberal activists are outraged that the seasonal song Baby it’s Cold Outside should be banned because, wait for it, it promotes sexual harrassment and non-consensual sex.

    It’s a movement that started a few years ago and has been taken up with more fervor and passion every Christmas season. But this season, the movement has gained steam because, according to HuffPo, a pair of songwriters have offered up alternate lyrics to make the song more politically correct, socially acceptable, and completely awful:

    The duo, singer-songwriters Lydia Liza and Josiah Lemanski, told CNN that they felt that the original song was “aggressive and inappropriate,” arguing that the listener never finds out what happens to the woman in the song.

    “You never figure out if she gets to go home. You never figure out if there was something in her drink. It just leaves you with a bad taste in your mouth,” said Liza.

    The couple’s revised lyrics are adorably consensual, opening with “I really can’t stay” sung by Liza and “Baby, I’m fine with that” sung by Lemanski.

    Most notably, when Liza sings, “I ought to say no, no, no,” Lemanksi responds with “You reserve the right to say no.”

    The rest of the lyrics include a reference to Pomegranate La Croix...

    I thought you were going to say it promotes leaving babies in the car during the winter.

    Numerous little ones have died during the summer months being left in a hot vehicle, so I figured 'ol slewfoot wanted to start doing the same in the winter months.

    I can't believe I was naive enough to go my entire life believing that song was simply about a concerned man who didn't want his woman to go out into the storm. Silly me.

    One of my FB friends posted something about political correctness and I gave this as an example of political correctness gone amok. Of course, someone responded that I was insensitive and had obviously never been a victim of sexual harassment. Shame on me.

    I replied that the song was written in 1944 during a time of greater innocence than today and that criticizing it just undermines serious efforts to end sexual harassment. Our target, I said, should be current songs, often rap, that truly do lead to sexual harassment. I'm sure she'll respond again and tell me off once more. I'm just so insensitive.
