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.
