This month marks the roughly third year in a row we must endure a #MeToo redo of the hit holiday single, Baby It’s Cold Outside. The latest version, sung by John Legend and Kelly Clarkson, is the most extreme.
It chucks all references to the man trying to seduce the woman and replaces them with politically correct language designed to promote the idea that when it comes to sex, men and women are the same. (A ridiculous idea, by the way: #MeToo wouldn’t exist if women were “just like men” sexually. There’d be no confusion, no power struggle, and no reason to discuss what happened after a sexual encounter at all. It would be a happy, fun, free-for-all.)
