Quote:Glenn Anderson, a host at the Star 102 station, blogged that although the song was written in a different era, the lyrics felt "manipulative and wrong".
"The world we live in is extra sensitive now, and people get easily offended, but in a world where #MeToo has finally given women the voice they deserve, the song has no place."
It's not about the original meaning of a specific phrase in the lyrics. It's about the overall message of the song being contrary to what the MeToo movement is about and to the modern Christmas spirit.
It's a classic for sure, and you can freely listen to it online somewhere, no problem.
The overall message is that a woman shouldn't succumb to societal standards if she wants something. She should just spend the night if she's feeling frisky. It's entirely in line with feminist notions.
