The lyrics consist of the host trying to convince the guest that she should stay for a romantic evening because he fears her getting too cold outside, despite the fact that she feels she should return home to her concerned family and neighbors.[6]
So if there’s a song where the woman thinks it’s time for her to leave, but the guy comes up a possibly invalid reason for her to stay, and he repeats it a lot, somewhat oblivious about her misgivings, because he wants to have sex with her, it’s okay now, because in a different context it was okay.
That’s only one interpretation of the lyrics, and it’s an interpretation that both ignores the lyrics as they’re written and performed, but the context as well.
Frankly, I’m not sure what the point of this is. You keep going back to the same argument that I’ve clearly said I know already, and that I’ve been pretty blunt in saying is bullshit.
Also, the whole half-assed “gotcha” you think you pulled is invaded indeed half-assed straw man bullshit
So, I’m done. You obviously have an axe to grind and poor communication skills.I hope that the rest of your holiday season is wonderful despite that. Have a good one!

What other interpretation is there? That she has little if anything to worry about—that she’s perfectly safe with him; that he has no intention to have sex with her, that he is truly worried that she might freeze to death out there—that his place isn’t in some town or other urban area, much less a city like NYC, Chicago, or LA, but maybe northern Alaska, so she might as well stay. As for the drink, maybe he put in something she isn’t used to such as lime, Tabasco sauce, or cinnamon, not some narcotic that will render herself incapable or resisting sexual assault?

I’m not sure why you would bother copy/pasting a complaint I stated in the previous comment that I’m aware of.
The criticism of the song has been going on for years now. All the talking points against it are, frankly, bullshit.
Plus, the comment you’re copy/pasting this in response to already specifically contains the counter argument.
What’s you’re point?

Repeatedly calling something bullshit isn’t really arguing either.
“half-assed straw man”?
okay.
not really.
okay.
and likewise. 😁🙂
