That song isn't saying that keeping a woman under your thumb is good. God damn at least find a legitimately misogynist classic rock song.

^Saying that would be the misogenist equivalent of an 'I'm not racist but..' statement. I still like under my thumb for the music though

No it's criticizing *******s like that. It's not that subtle.

It's the Rolling Stones in their Motown-esque phase.

The Stones were steeped in the Blues, and in Blues tradition songs about male/female relationship weren't meant to be taken literally but were metaphoric for slave-driver/worker. If the Stones wrote the song today it would be metaphoric about Brexit.

The song reminds me of Seinfeld skit, or vice a versa.

That's an interesting perspective. And you're right that calling the stones classic rock, especially at this period, is not very accurate

We both know that your posts are always too subtle for me

Edit: I'm super tired so this took me a while, do you really think that that song is satire? It doesn't seem so to me. They have more borderline misogynist earlier songs too

I hope it's not satire. Better that way.
