I'll Never Fall In Love Again

Jeff Fecke has attacked the sexism of 1971's 'amazingly sucky,' 'misogynistic' She's a Lady.  (That Fecke's bizarre overuse of misogynist elicits no feminist outcry still astounds!)

Fecke is assessing a 40-year-old popular song using his more-sanctimonious-than-thou 2011 'feminism'. 

So he's engaging in garden variety historical vanity, applying his ethical standards to an artifact of a different era.

Fecke finds the comparison strengthens his own self-admiration; his theme never varies.

Fecke suggests objectification = sexism--and should be unacceptable in a song praising a woman's pleasures.

Fecke provides no argumentation in favor of this claim, nor does he present any evidence demonstrating women don't objectify men.

The Fecke formula:  utterly undefined goalposts followed by preening, egomaniacal moralism.

As a community we seek to embrace 'people should be nice to one another'.  Fecke--extrapolating wildly--desires a hyper-earnest, erection-unfriendly romantic marketplace:  a world without hot chicks.

I don't get how he draws out B from A.  It's a pity Fecke doesn't allow questions.
