Two things. Minor quibble: topic was male grovelling songs (though with a question mark, which conceivably lets in all grovelling songs). But if it's male songs, that would knock out "So In Love" . Also: "beat me and hurt me..." I don't recall any huge feminist outcry about this phrase. But I'm sure Mudcatters can address this. The only reason I can think that there was no big protest--at the time of the song or after (the song is still often performed)--is that everybody realized this was not to be taken literally. Thoughts?
