    …No she fucking isn’t. She never says she wants to stay.

    I simply must go (Baby, it’s cold outside)
    The answer is, “No” (But, baby, it’s cold outside)

    She says no. He ignores her. I don’t give a fuck what was intended, I only care about what was said. What was said was a violation of consent. If you want the intent to reflect in the song to a modern ear (which are the only ears we have) then change the lyrics.

      Yeah I’m familiar with the reddit argument I just think it’s half the story. It was written by a husband and wife but you clearly have an axe to grind so go off king.

      Have a nice night.

        I’m not familiar with the reddit argument, but nice attempt to dodge what I said.
