I love the song...

the melody is light and fanciful the lyrical interplay is witty it is a well written song. Yet there is no denying there is a strong theme of no means yes running throughout the song. Let us not forget the parts are the woman (mouse) and the man (wolf).
It is a song from a different era. In that era many situations we now correctly call sexual harassment or assault were considered more casually. If you want to think, it is a complicated thing and it shouldn't just be shrugged off as history if the song is going to be played in the future.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
