So much recent acrimony about "Baby it's Cold Outside" has frustrated me.

It doesn't have to be good or evil. People aren't, for the most part, talking about 'killing it off', whatever that means. I just happen to think that it doesn't belong in the canon of ubiquitous holiday muzak. People can't seem to grasp any position other than there being nothing wrong with it or it being the embodiment of all that is wrong in pop culture.

When I was a teenage/early-20-something girl, stories like the ones Meat Loaf tells in Bat Out Of Hell and Paradise By The Dashboard Light often happened in real life - girls were taught that "boys only want one thing", and that it was their duty to refuse, no matter how persuasive the young man's arguments were, so they could eventually get married in a proper virgin's white gown and veil, to a nice boy. People really used to believe those things, and behave in those ways, fifty years ago. I mean, society is pretty fucked up about sex now, but it's a whole lot better than it was.
