Re: Time for one last verse as Christmas nears, Dec. 6 column.
I enjoyed Lance Peverley’s column.
In the age of #metoo, sometimes it’s hard to tell if things are merely playful or actually predatory. Is the musically endearing Baby It’s Cold Outside a date rape anthem?
As a social worker and Anglican priest, I have worked with many victims of sexual abuse and/or harassment.
How many times does a person [Mouse in the score] need to say no to Wolf [the man in the score who kept removing her clothes]? Does the line “what is in this drink” hint at a mickey, a date rape drug?
I welcome a thoughtful non-polarized discussion as people once listen again during this Christmas season to these complicated lyrics.
