and we shouldn't be encouraging this new virtue signalling trend trying to call it out as some encouragement of date rape. The entire point of the song is that the woman wants to stay but feels like it would be unacceptable to her family and her peers if she spends the night with a man, even if it means risking a trip through dangerous weather. Look at the lyrics: I really can't stay Baby it's cold outside I've got to go away Baby it's cold out there This evening has been Been hoping that you'd drop in So very nice I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice My mother will start to worry Beautiful, what's your hurry? My father will be pacing the floor Listen to that fireplace roar So really I'd better scurry Beautiful, please don't hurry Well maybe just a half a drink more Why don't you put some records on while I pour The neighbors might think Baby, it's bad out there Say, what's in this drink? OP'S NOTE: song written: 1944. Roofie available for purchase by general public: 1974. No cabs to be had out there I wish I knew how Your eyes are like starlight To break the spell I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell I ought to say no, no, no, sir Mind if I move in closer? At least I'm gonna say that I tried What's the sense in hurting my pride? I really can't stay Baby don't hold out Baby it's cold outside I simply must go See that it's cold outside. The answer is no I said it's cold out there. This welcome has been How lucky that you dropped in. So nice and warm Look out the window at that storm. My sister will be suspicious Gosh, your lips look delicious. My brother will be there at the door Waves upon a tropical shore. My maiden aunt's mind is vicious Oh, your lips are delicious. Maybe just a cigarette more Never such a blizzard before. Hey I've got to go home Baby, you'll freeze out there Say, lend me your coat It's up to your knees out there You've really been grand I'm thrilled when you touch my hand But don't you see How can you do this thing to me? There's bound to be talk tomorrow Think of my life long sorrow At least there will be plenty implied If you caught pneumonia and died I really can't stay Get over that old lie Baby, baby it's cold outside By the end the only protest she makes is that everyone will think something scandalous happened because she gasp spent the night at a mans house gasp. If someone takes away "50 nos and a yes means yes" from this then they're stupid. I violently, vehemently disagree with the idea of hiding something away forever because you can imagine a scenario where someone who holds a destructively antisocial idea feels validated by it. Take all your " that rapey christmas song" complaints and shove them right up your butt.

Gaunab posted:What is virtue signaling? Kinda depends on who you ask. Some people use it to refer to the online phenomena where people pick fights over stuff they intentionally interpreted in bad faith as a display of progressive one upsmanship while others think anybody saying stuff that implies they aren't an awful human being must be doing it for show rather than genuine concern of the issue. Like most political phrases initially used as a shortcut to describe common trends it's become so broadly applied to everything and anyone some people disagree with it's basically become meaningless.

Really though, if she didn't want it, why did she let a blind man drive her to HIS home instead of hers? Really, I think she was just being a tease.

tbh speaking as a coquettish butt boy, it's nice when a guy picks up on signals that i want him to be a little more persistent, because it means he thinks i'm worth the pursuit. that's cute~ that's how baby it's cold outside always read to me look at jgl and gaga reversing the roles :3 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtoW4aV-CIc but apparently some people can't read signals, so they just wander around raping things on the off-chance that it might turn out not be rape? i can see why that would be a problem. so i guess we're picking sides in the rape war, and i'll be damned if i end up on team rape, so i ask permission for every dick that i suck, and dean martin the dead singing rapist can eat poo poo.

Ah yes there's nothing like wrestling your coat from a drunk at 2am so you can have any chance at sleep. If I wanted to hear about political correctness is go read the drudge report

"what's in this drink" is just alcohol if you automatically assume the drink is drugged perhaps you are the real date rapist

Santa Baby is a much more problematic song because it glorifies consumerism but there's no outrage against it because of capitalists

I've got an idea to make an arrangement to sing "...Cold Outside" with two women and one man. I haven't figured it out yet, but it would be fun to have all people want a threesome but all of them are dancing around it.

"except it's just an amusing contrast but everybody would think you're trying to make some kind of statement

The drug they put in drinks for date rape in 1944 was Chloral Hydrate. Popularly referred to as a "Mickey" after bartender Mickey Finn, who used the drug regularly to drug customers of his bar and rob them in 1903. Hope that helps OP.
