Pure Schadenfreude

I do not have a problem with the underlying message of the song by itself. Women want a strong, bold, masculine man. The problem comes when the very women who say the opening line "where have all the good men gone" are those that are unwilling to be the type of woman that would be worth the effort to win over. The man who would embody the traits of the "hero" is not going to want a whore for his efforts.

I could see many feminists not liking this song due to the fact that it has the knight in shining armor rescuing the damsel in distress message. At least that is my takeaway for what the intent of the song was supposed to be. Women having a greater entitlement attitude have made it so that this song sounds like an anthem to "man up" and marry the slutty women who have done nothing to prepare themselves to be good wives and mothers. It does no good to demand that men uphold the standards of tradition while giving women a pass to ignore their end of the bargain. The song's message reflects on a time where being an upstanding man was genuinely respected, not something to be exploited and shamed by undeserving sluts and their enablers in the forms of both Tradcons and feminists.

I would love to live in a world where this song does not leave a bad taste in men's mouths, but such is the world we live in.

I just looked her up to see who she is married to. She actually DID marry well. They have been together for a very long time. Her husband is a Judo expert and pretty handsome.

Go figure.

Hate this song BTW.

Thanks for posting.

Woman makes a song about a wet dream that she had, its a number 1 hit, who'd a thunk it?

Sad part is that in 1984 I actually liked this song. Now it makes me want to shoot myself or drink copious amounts of Whiskey. On the bright side, I'm pretty sure that all those "I need a man like a fish needs a bicycle" feminists feel the same way about this song. They just drown their sorrows and misery in cheap red wine--in a box.
