To think that the BBC shouldn’t be playing music like this...

Radio 1 is currently playing a song by a 17 year old Australian boy called The Kid called ‘Without You.’

The main lyric in the chorus is ‘ Can't make a wife out of a ho.’

Apart from being ridiculous lyrics for a 17 year old to sign, AIBU to be shocked that the BBC are allowing such misogynistic and sexist music to be played?

I don't have an issue with songs like Relax. Gay sex who gives a shit. But this song is misogynistic as fuck.

Perhaps he really can't make a wife out of a ho.

@Moonmelodies I doubt the girls he is trying to date describe themselves as either.

@Moonmelodies to be fair there are probably laws against marrying farming equipment.

YANBU. misogyny shouldn’t be excised because it’s to a tune.
