Feminist zeal seems to get more intense with increasing pettiness of the topic at hand.

"...the DJ's firing was just. 'Blurred Lines' was the song of LAST summer, and it was shitty to begin with."

Good point.

I love how women always want "safe spaces" as long as its not safe for things they dont agree with.

What is peoples problems with that song?

The only part that's even remotely close to even indicate some smudge of being "rapey" is the title. And that's stretching things.

Wouldn't the song "drunken love" be even more "rapey"?

I would go ahead and boycott the bar, while informing everyone on facebook

Songs don't rape people, rapists rape people

It's probably not hard at all to get a DJ at a campus bar fired for nothing. DJ's near college campuses are easy to find, competition for customers is probably fierce. If someone is willing to complain hard about anything, you can probably get the DJ fired.

Song rape is REAL and you guys are apologizing for/trivializing it???? Back in the 90s many of us were song-raped for weeks by 4 Non Blondes, was that fun?

I keep asking people who claim it's about rape if they've read/heard the entirety of the lyrics as opposed to just the "you know you want it" without context.

Seems few if any have, and once you do hear/read the song in its entirety it's actually about women being more open about their sexuality, and at worst Robin Thicke seducing women into cheating on their partners. While not a laudable endeavor, it's not rape.

She must be very proud of herself.

Lol. Check out yelp reviews.

He needs to sue her for fucking up his ability to book gigs. The bar needs to sue her for slandering them.

She should have to prove in a court of law that the song, the bar and the DJ all contributed to "rape culture", and of course, that rape culture exists.

Just down on the road at Duke, porn babe Belle Knox, crows poetically about the empowerment she feels when random strange men spill their seed all over her tits and lips, sometimes urinating on her, all captured on film for your viewing pleasure. Girl power! -- don't ya' know.
