I get that she took the high road by writing a well-thought-out, articulate response in the paper, but oh how I wish that in the moment she would’ve responded, “yeah, fuck you, you smarmy misogynist asshole. I attend a university and I’m at a political event but of course I must be a vapid little teeny bopper because

If they’re generally good guys who just genuinely don’t understand why the lyric is problematic, don’t quit the band. Can you say “Hey, I know you guys don’t get it but I really don’t feel comfortable performing this lyric because it reminds me of some traumatic experiences in my past.” Pull your veto card - I assume
