Radio Bans ‘Baby It’s Cold Outside’ Over Claims It’s A Rape Song, English Teacher Explains Its Real Meaning

They'll even be offended by your question...

Here's my take on this (If you're offended by this then so be it. Sorry but not really.): A few kids offend me=I won't have children because all children are offensive. Taking offends me because I have to be naked=stop taking baths. The air offends me because something or somebody will stink=Stop breathing. Your views offends me just because I disagree=I won't accept any other views but mine alone because you're all wrong. Your beliefs offends me because they're different than mine and because I don't believe in anything=All other beliefs are enemies because they're not the same as mine. I'm offended by your opinions because I can't accept it.=Your opinions don't matter. That's just my take on society today. "I'm right therefore you're all wrong and if you don't agree then I'll shut each and everyone of you down so that I don't have to listen to you!" That's just the way it's become. Unfortunately.

The word "nowadays" is extremely offensive Chris Gill. Are you somehow trying to imply that there's something wrong with "thenadays"?

Seeing as there are 8 billion people on the planet and assuming that all of them are offended by at least one thing, it would be safe to say that there isn't a thing that won't offend someone.

Ppl would be offended if there was nothing to be offended by.

Woah woah woah, Watch it there, that question could offend someone...and so might this warning...and so might that, and that...and that too...and...well then......

Andrew offends me

The easily offended can even pick at Christmas carols and find dangerous connotations! I remember that when I was little and my parents had friends over, I even heard my mom say "What's in this drink" when they are laughing and having a good time. Completely innocent and fun times. Sometimes I wish the easily offended would drop over like those fainting goats!

How dare you??! I identify myself as a question mark gender, why is my kin in the end of the sentence? are we not good enough for you that we have to be put last?!

pretty sure we're still allowed to make bad jokes about the weather. At least, I hope so. "It's disgusting out there. all that sunshine. It's positively unwholesome. Gets into people brains... causes their wits to dribble out their ears."

i am offended that people are offended.

No kidding!

I don't think so.

No. I hear people were slamming the claymation Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer the other day.

As I much as I want to answer your question, I won't because I might offend these intelligent people that makes simple things so complicated just to get attention and just to be able to show that they're better than you. So, I'll just keep the answer to myself so that these f*****g know-it-alls won't be offended.

NO.

Stop making the mistake of reducing everyone's observations and concerns down to "just being offended". It's shallow reasoning, intellectually lazy and misses a very important point. Cultural norms at any given point in time directly impact the actions of people in the moment and how one expects the other or themselves to react or not react. Regardless of the "context" of the time, as a culture we're much more aware of boundaries in social settings of what crosses a line from being harmlessly flirtatious to outright creepy and rapey. We're much more aware of these warning signs today. It all boils down to how people In modern-day may interpret this song to communicate an accepted practice of tirelessly chasing after someone after they've said "no" numerous times. If the song is interpreted by a male as "No, means Yes"... that could get ugly real fast. If the song is interpreted by a female that it's perfectly acceptible for men to be very persistent, then she may find herself raped

Who says they are okay with modern rap music? The people who are concerned about the message the song is implying might also be equally concerned about the degrading lyrics found in much of our modern music as well.

This song is coming from the old Hollywood days where a man and a woman were officially not allowed to be shown on a bed unless both had at least one foot on the floor - never mind being single and spending the night together. I think even a "married" couple on screen were not allowed to be shown sharing a bed.
