Amid #MeToo, radio station nixes 'Baby, It's Cold
Outside'
CLEVELAND (AP) — A Cleveland radio
station says it has stopped playing "Baby, It's Cold Outside" after
listeners said the song heard on countless holiday playlists is inappropriate.
They're certainly not the first to
question the song's undertones and criticize the duet, in which one singer
tries to persuade the other to stay and their exchanges include lyrics like
"What's in this drink? and "Baby, don't hold out."
WDOK-FM midday host Glenn Anderson
says he recognizes that society was different when the song was written back in
1944, but he doesn't think it has a place today, especially in the era of the
#MeToo movement against sexual harassment.
He announced on the pop music
station's website this week that the song would no longer be in its
around-the-clock rotation of holiday music.
In 1944 when this was written, women acted like women and were NOT sluts. They didn't sleep with someone just because they stayed at someone's house.
Get YOUR freaking mind out of YOUR life and stop acusing ladies of doing what YOU WOULD DO.
What the hell is wrong with you people.... you make things up in your head and whats worse .. you talk people into believing that it was true.
You are sooooo strange.
