The politically correct and terminally sensitive have put out a revision of “Baby, It’s Cold Outside.” According to the concerned, the 1944 song “sounds hopelessly dated … in an age of informed consent and egalitarian relationships.” One of the writers of the updated version of the song explained, “It was important to us to open a conversation about consent and make sure people's stories get told and the rhetoric gets changed.”
Apparently, when the current generation hears “say, what’s in this drink”, they think date rape drugs. And the constant pleading in the song removes the necessary element of mutual constant from the sexual relationship.1
