"Baby It's Cold Outside" lyrics in #MeToo era: Cleveland radio station Star 102 stops playing popular Christmas song after listeners voice concerns about meaning in the "Me Too" era - CBS News

I can see their point of view. I mean of people in the Me Too movement.

How would I explain those lyrics to my twenty something and younger grand niece and nieces?

Think the conversation about this is more important though than just pulling the song because it has questionable lyrics written in the 1940s which did not have any such connotations back then.

I would rather have the dialog going than just silence it.
