Yes, we are all entitled to our opinions, and not much else.

IMO, its an assinine song. It is sexist in that cozy, comfortable "Old World Traditional" sort of way.

Sung as is, whether in Britain or the US, it would undoubtedly offend certain audiences, whose sensibilities extend beyond nostalgia for a lost authoritarian past. Which is why certain "purists" love to keep singing it. It isn't traditional, but they like to pretend it represents a "traditional" world view.

Well, it certainly doesn't reflect the world view of say, a group of singing fish wives--a pretty feminist group of gals in their own way. They'd be much more likely to sing the parody version, IMO.

So keep on singin' with yer fingers in yer ears thar mateys!
