Every year more and more people realise just how creepy 'Baby It's Cold Outside' really is.
We've all heard the Christmas song so many times that we mightn't have ever considered its subtext. If you haven't, please take a moment to think about the lyrics.
Here are a few tweets summing up just how problematic it is...

How did "Baby It's Cold Outside" become a Christmas standard? It's such a creepy song, and doesn't mention Christmas at all.

Nobody is more pissed about climate change than the predator who sings the male part in “Baby, It’s Cold Outside.”
