Ruth's songs were taboo back then too! She was known for her risque lyrics and double entendres. She wrote and sang about sex, about being gay, about body parts, etc. One of her albums was even banned in Australia!
Same, I was like "Oh is it gonna be a 1930s culture shock kinda thing?" Nope it was CRIME! Horrible awful crime to be done to anybody! Even back then I'm pretty sure this behavior was frowned upon (but talking about that was taboo so no one did anything about it)
@marymystery4427 nah, this way of thinking was pretty normalized back then, actually. Which was really unfortunate for so many women. It still happens to a lot of women nowadays too, although people are finally seeing it now as the awful crime it is.

“I wish music was like it was back in the old days, new music is so vulgar!” Songs have _always_ been vulgar, they just didn’t use the same terminology. Edit: This comment has gotten way more traction than I thought it would, so here are some common questions because I don’t wanna type them out for the n-th time. *“But it wasn’t every song back then!”* And it isn’t every song now. If you don’t like vulgar songs, then find ones that aren’t! There are so many artists who are clean, y’all just refuse to research anything that isn’t mainstream. *“But they used innuendos!”* And? So do modern songs. Again, clean and partially-explicit artists and songs exist. *“They were (insert synonym), not vulgar!”* Vulgar: making explicit and offensive reference to sex or bodily functions *“But songs back then weren’t as vulgar!”* - “When the Cows Come Home.” - “I Wanna Little Sugar in my Bowl” - Jazz music from the 20s - “This Lady is a Tramp” - “Tuttie Fruttie” - “Shave ‘Em Dry” - “Summer is icummen In” (This one is medieval for those who really wanna argue)
back then poeple couldn’t sing freely about this kinda stuff, now because poeple are trying to normalize being open and talking about this, making it known. Poeple use more vulgar language for their music, which is why older music always sounded more romantic, because you had to find its hidden meaning
It wasn’t every fucking song though. And even then the songs that where vulgar often had a good reason for vulgarity such as humor or making an artistic statement.
What's really crazy is that she knows that this is a satirical song. And if she knows the song she knows the singer which means that she knows the proof spent her career producing satirical songs about the negativity she saw in society. What do I know though I'm just some person on RUclips
@@berrywitch8930So you fully admit the song is about things she saw in daily life and that the song is funny because it was realistic for the time. Satire only works if it's realistic.
Do you not understand that the person you are following continually does this with satirical artists that are critiquing their time era? Have you not wondered why all of the songs that she's are oddly specific and really creepy? Have you ever looked up any of the people that she is sharing the songs of? She shares a lot of satirical songwriters that are making fun of things like George Carlin ask people and people under 25 think that this is real life and react the way you are right now. And then give her money for reacting the way you are right now
Guys, the singer isn't trying to normalize this or play it off as a joke. It's satire; she's using it to criticize what is already seen as normal in her society.
The first comment I've read that shows some critical thinking skills. It's not a problematic song, it's a feminist song that uses irony and shock as a weapon.
@@ZoroarkChampionI think the reason people are saying it’s a problematic song is because the reality of DV and marital SA were so common back then, and it’s sad that a song like this could be sung out in the open (even as a satirical critique). That’s my thought anyway
@@joeeveryman2935 if I hear this or any song in public, I won’t fall to my knees and clutch my pearls 😂 I’m just talking about this in an academic sense
@itsmarinah except your premise is flawed. It's satire, it means it's an exaggeration of the pressure wives feel from their husband's sexual desires. It's not at all saying "my husband rapes me all of the time". This is exactly like when people misunderstood what "Baby It's Cold Outside" is about because culture has just outright dropped innuendo so nobody understands how people flirted back in the 50s.
So its about Rarital Mape then EDIT : As a few of you below have noted, it is a slightly silly way to refer to the horrible act at hand. My intent was to skirt auto-filtering, and to avoid upsetting others by possibly causing flashbacks. I understand the response of some of you who are victims who want me to say the horrible act. So if you're sensitive to it, please stop reading now. Marital Rape. You can start reading again It was never my intent to make this silly, and as a CSA survivor myself, I certainly understand the need to put this gravity to it. I hear you. I get it. I'm sorry if it upset any of you
I love your skirt and blouse and cardigan. You always play the best shocking golden finds but not enough is said about your fantastic vintage outfits. You always look amazing!
What's pretty funny is that up until maybe the 90's, songs were about things with innuendo about sex. Nowadays it's the opposite. This song doesn't follow the old way but still.
@seductiveraven4895 Vino literally means life. Mozerella is kinda hint that its about sex, but, you can also make a pizza with other cheeses. I think vino just means giving her energy to him, and not being lazy.
A lot of people think this song is super fucked, but honestly that might be the point. This very well might be intentionally satirical. A commentary on the fact that many marriages WERE like this, and a public way to say 'fuck these guys', as well as giving a little catharsis to the women who faced these things. Similar to incest in fairy tales and Greek tragedies where the wife kills her husband.
It has to be because I've never been able to hear the words to this song before, pretty sure it may have even been in Italian and at double speed compared to this.
What part of the song says she's somehow against it? I've seen in comments people talk about criticism and satire - but WHERE? What line emplements this? I fail to see any.

This reminds me of that Filipino movie I watched as a child. In my childhood our movies where less of comedy or romance but real tradegy and true situations or inspired from ones that had happened in history of within ones family or life. I watched half of it before having changed it right after my parents fell asleep to watch nickelodeon and disney just to avoid nightmares. I can't remember the name or the whole movie but i can't forget how much it traumatized me and made me distrust my elders so much. This was one of those movies. The woman was beautiful but tired from repeating housework and constant gossip and complaints from others, she was forced to marry and she truly thought to herself that she was happy, only for one night when she told her husband no because she was too tired to be able to give him what he wanted, that he forced himself on her. She screamed and struggled and cried until the next morning.. Thats when I learned at a young age that despite having married, consent is no different from strangers hooking up in young adult movies.
I'm going to guess that the movie was around the time the likes of Lino Brocka (filipino national artist for film) and Nora Aunor were around. There were a lot of films the openly criticized Filipino society from the 60s-80s; and in retrospect, it was impressive they were able to get that far without government backlash. Not that critical films Filipino films don't exist, but for a long while they mostly are seen in the Filipino indie film scene.
@@tripleoof8159 I do believe the actress was Nora Aunor, I was an open fan to her even despite the traumatizing movies. Amidst that time I really only watched because I adored her acting cause it was really good in my opinion!
Peoples should sing that song...because it was courageous at the time. Ruth Wallis was outside our world and time! She wrote in the 40's a song about a woman marrying a man who was in fact gay. and how she end with: He need to find a man! She was the voice for taboos and injustice! Infidelity, patriachy,lgbtq+ song, naughty ones etc... And yet, she never receive the recognition... Very few know her today! That song is doing exactly the purpose...it's a huge finger to what women had to endure! She was a cabaret artist! With a mind 100 yrs in the futur with satire and double meaning in each song! Unfortunately, she died i bit more than 15 yrs ago! We need to talk more about this woman! Thank you to showing to the world those forgot satire artists and songs! Love your videos!
@@jclyntoledoGotta look a little harder. Specially tiktok. There was once a woman who said she wish she could go on a date in the 40s when men were respectful and drove you away to see the stars or some shit. (Like you see in movies when they're on a secluded cliff at night in the car ig) As if the 40's was a grand ole time and being completely alone with a man far out from civilization is a good idea.
@@jclyntoledo the "trad wife" movement is composed of woman who almost all of romatisise the 1950's ideas and aesthetics as a "wonderful time where everything was good and how things should be and we need to go back to being like that" and ignoring that it was actually and awful time.
Unfortunately a lot of men still think like this. They really think once youre married they are owed "pizza" whenever they want it no matter how the woman feels.
Withholding physical intimacy has legal precedent as grounds for divorce, aka committing constructive abandonment of the marriage. There's a reason why marriage vows state that two become one. You don't operate independently anymore; you have marital obligations that must be met or you are in breach of contract and an oath-breaker.
@@goodluckgoofy3354 someone not being in the mood to have sex with you for whatever reason, including your wife is not "withholding intimacy". You are not entitled to have sex with anyone without their enthusiastic consent first legally. Maybe it would qualify as grounds for divorce if they were never in the mood for no reason (e.g. not because of some behaviour you did or relationship issues you were having that caused them to not want to). Wives are not like vending machines that are meant to dispense sex whenever is convenient for you, they are fully autonomous people who you have to continuously court, treat well and make yourself attractive to in order for them to want to have sex with you, same as all relationships
I cared for an old slav midwife. She said Italian men didnt give their wives a break. She had to chase one husband off his wif. Who had given birth just that morning. (I am sure not all. But it must have been common enough.)
Not italian, but we had a family where the children where only 10 months apart...... that was their 8th child. She looked soooo worn out. I was a child, to me she looked like 80! But I'm sure she was not even 35
Ruth wrote this song to be satirical. In a world where you can’t march down the street these songs existed, don’t go hating on grandma feminists, its their shoulders on which you now stand.
@@pardontheopinion8679 Fuck Corinthians it was written and editted by the hands of man. So dont even dare and say it was the words of God. Consent is required in marriage, and marital rape is a crime.
funny fact, in Croatian language, Serbian, and many other Slavic languages, pizza means vagina, it is the same pronunciation but different spelling "pica"
Ruth Wallis (creator of the song) wrote satirical and risqué music to entertain in the nightclub. It is hard to take this song as an example of normalised behavior of the 50s (where exactly it's not stated, 50s Italy was very different from 50s New York). Judging this song as a reflection of standard behavior all these decades later would be like someone in the year 2100 taking WAP as the standard for relationships in our day. Context is important.
Tbh i do think she more Like used her songs to Draw Attention to certain behavior. Many countries only decided in the 80s or 90s that s.x without consent in marriage could be prosecuted as assault or r.p. - before that it was legal and women were Not able to do smth about it... So in the 50s you can be Sure that it was normal or expected for many and people probably rolled with it because that was the way they were socialized.
@@TheSarahskaninchen Quite a few husbands beat as well, with the iron, or the frying pan, or the rolling pin. Men would never say if they'd been abused, but it happened and it still does.
@@NortelGeekYeah so I've read this thread very carefully and I've determined that absolutely no one has said that men never experience abuse in intimate relationships. This was a conversation about spousal rape in the context of a song which addresses the subject, isn't a competition to determine which gender is more evil. Two things can be wrong at the same time, but, I have to say, if your response to someone bringing up spousal rape by men is to point out that some women abuse their husbands, you might have a problem with women. Can you see how it comes across like you're trying to downplay rape?
Exactly and I think what op and a lot of younger people may not realize is this song was drawing attention to a problem with humor because society was different back then. Nowadays we do this by getting on RUclips and complaining about stuff to draw attention to it for some reason
Thank you!! Talking about something negative is somehow automatically seen as promoting it or supporting it these days, for some reason, regardless of how blatantly obvious it is that it's just raising awareness.
It's weird. I'm fairly confident cheating was NEVER normalized or okay, though there was definitely a lot of it and a lot of forced resignation (on women's part) to that fact. Largely thanks to social expectations. Whereas if a woman cheated, it was all hell to pay. As to the rest (the expectations of a wife) I think those were, unfortunately, and as my mother tells it (born 1950), normal. Go to school, maybe learn to type or sow or both, learn to cook, get a man, give him a family and raise it. That's what she *expected* - and all of her friends did. It was, sadly, "normal", and to them, while not "okay" as in "happily accepted", it was "okay" as in "it was merely the way things are". It's hard to put myself in her shoes and imagine not even having a thought that things were drastically out of whack. That my main thought about it all amounted to "it's unfair. but life is unfair. so whatcha ganna do?", and then, through the late 60's, 70's and 80's realizing the truth and that things could be different and fighting for it. Wild.
Yeah but the fact that this satirises something that's actually happening. It's the actual thing that's problematic not the joke. No one should be thinking that the joke is that she's getting raped by her husband. The joke is that she made a clever song about it. She's calling attention to her situation in a humourous way. Her situation is problematic. The music isn't.
Yeah honestly it's not like the song is trying to normalise it. She's clearly portraying it as a bad thing. It seems more to me like it's spreading awareness than anything else.
Victims sometimes only have dark humor. Dark humor helps people cope. Don't take dark humor from people who have very few ways of dealing with their past@@FDGQQW
Ruth Wallis was the queen of satire in her day and yes, most of her songs are frowned on today and often back then too! But it shows we dealt with the same problems and issues for a lot longer than many people realize. She was also very down to earth and honest about what happened behind closed doors. ❤
I'm not sure what's worse. You judging her for following through on her career of choice despite not knowing what she did or that you think women making a living by using satire is a problem.
@@thedescendedangel Thank you for the back up! I appreciate it. In point of fact I love Ruth Wallis! Her songs make me laugh, most people today just find offence wherever they turn.
I saw an instillation at a museum made by a poc woman. The artwork was done in the early-mid 1900s. I didn’t come through the front door, but from a side door at the back. When I got to the front door I was shocked when I saw the dates the artwork was from. All of the social issues it addressed made it seem like it could’ve been composed yesterday. Society truly has not progressed
The fact that she described marital rape so casually breaks my heart, she clearly meant that if she falls asleep without doing it he will just treat her like a lifeless sex doll not caring that it hurts if you aren’t ready, absolutely disgusting.
The fact that husbands could legally do this to their wives in the US until 1993… 1993! To this day, some people believe it’s okay. It’s so disturbing to view women as these things you just get to do things to rather than a human being with thoughts and feelings.
@@RueJue That is so horrible. I’m sorry you had to deal with that. I’m grateful that you’re here. My father isn’t exactly super minded on women’s liberation either.
This makes me think of people hearing stories from their grandmothers. So how did you and grandpa got married? Oh i was stalked by him, oh i was chased through a corn field, oh i went to a wedding turn out to be my wedding."
That last one happened too often for older people I knew. :'x I would literally fight everyone there and not sign a dang thing. No amount of "well, we're here now, you might a well just-" would push me into that. I would go feral, run out to the woods and become a literal animal first.
If I may offer a nicer story. My great great grandmother got away from a child marriage. She literally escaped it on her own accord. That would have been the early 1920s in Southern Africa. I can't stop thinking of her bravery. How scared she must have been and how much she knew by doing that, she couldn't return to her family. But she did it. And she even had a short term relationship with a young Jewish man who had come over for work. They couldn't continue their relationship because rules on all sides but apparently he still had her photo before he died (we found our long lost second cousins). There's was a relationship of equals. So was her proper marriage later on. Throughout my great great grandmother's life she actively advocated for herself when it was frankly dangerous to do so. Both by colonial powers and by baked in regressive traditions. I look up to her hard cigar smoking, rooting tooting ways. She is one of the foundations of our family. I finish with this. That my great great grandmother wasn't killed for her choices is a grit but also luck. I don't want future young women to face what she faced. So in honour of her, I fight back. And for my grandfathers who saw her as the person she was and not chattel.
When my wife and I got married (in 2010 btw) her dad told her to never tell me no. She wasn’t shocked by this apparently, but I kind of lost my mind. I was like, umm no, she can absolutely say no bud, and so can I. He did not like that lol
@@pardontheopinion8679 dude, choke on a ravioli You’re just an Internet troll we’ve all figured it out now you’re literally just spouting nonsense over multiple comments in this video get a life😂
It wasn't until 1993 that marital r@pe was specifically mentioned. R@pe inside marriage was always illegal. Reminds me of the new anti lynching laws. Guess what, murder and kidnapping was already illegal, but doofuses thought because lynching wasn't specifically mentioned, it was legal or something.
Except it was illegal the second r@pe was made illegal. Reminds me of the brand new anti lynching laws. Kidnapping and murder was already illegal. Totally pointless law.
Married men tend to live longer than unmarried men, but the opposite is true for women. Single women live longer than married women. It used to be that women were expected to be intimate with their husbands regardless of whether the wife wanted it or not. Marital ape wasn't a thing in the old days, men were legally allowed to beat their wives too. Once again, I'm happy & grateful to be single!
It was absolutely a thing. Just because it was made legal didnt change that it was force non consent. Never forget that spousal grape was legal in this country until the 90s
@@victorialynnstruble I think they meant it wasn't referred to as marital rape, that wasn't a phrase then. It was something that happened but it wasn't "wrong", not in the eyes of the law or the general public. So it wasn't marital rape then, it was just "being a good wife", or a man "taking what is his".
Real men don't cheat. I have a wife and we're super loyal to eachother. Don't ever generalize relationships or anything like the human condition. You'll be wrong in your assumptions. Also, duh! This song is satirical.
Yeah! Her name is Ruth Wallice and she was iconic! She was way too smart for her time and her satire and wordplay got her songs banned. Which only got her more popular! This is one of my favorites along with Boobs! And Queer Things are Happening to Me
I could have sworn we were gonna get a pizza recipe song at the beginning when they said he didn't want mozzarella! Me thinking "oh what other kind of cheese is this guy into" XD
Problematic song? You mean a clever piece of art that addresses the real experiences of women at the time? Yes it reveals something very sad about that era of history but it doesnt mean the song itself is bad
Think it’s meaning, “in the 1950s, this was a problematic song”. It’s kinda clear that the creator in the skit is emphasizing with the lyrics, not hating
I actually kind of like it because in the 1950s, they never said the quiet parts outloud, I bet she caught a lot of heat for this style of music in the 50s
Ruth is a queer icon. She spent half of her career making satirical songs about how ridiculous the behavior she sung about were which is why the songs are so outrageous. There entire books about her writings. She was very controversial for her time because her outspokenness about her beliefs. How about you start doing history shorts about these songs because this is not the first time you have shared a satirical song and used it as fact
Im not really sure what you're bothered about. The point of satire is to highlight the reality/fact of the subject matter in ways that one may not be able to do directly, so saying this creator has used satire as fact is a little odd. This video didn't say it wasn't satire- it was clear to me that it was. The song is problematic one way or the other; not in the sense that it is advocating for the awful things it references but because it accurately portrays through satire the really horrible realities of a lot of womens' lives - which are extremely problematic. I understood by listening to it that it was satire; I don't think the creator of this video is misleading anyone. Edited because typing without my glasses on was a bad idea.
@@pearcat08 this is your first time seeing one her videos because she plays game with this series and with every one of them and never explains the sources or their content. How is it not a red flag that you take a bunch of queer artists work and portrayed in a negative but don't explain their perspective. She took a male feminist and made him out to be an abuser because one of his satirical songs she explained who's about him wanting to kill women. That same singers most famous songs called poisoning pigeons in the park guess what it was about.
I dont think this song is problematic. Everyone who pistened to it and the person who created it was aware that the situation shouldn't be normal. This song would ve problematic if the singer were, say, romanticizing or justifing such a situation.
Bruh my autistic ass actually thought this was about pizza. Just thought the dude was a real pizza fanatic like damnn you don't want to eat anything else ever??💀💀
I feel a lot of folks of forgotten what the proper use of shock is in media. This is it. A false sense of security then reality harshly thrown in to force the viewer to think hard about the situation. It’s used for cheat plot material mostly nowadays but when you want a subject addressed shock is a powerful tool. Starting things out with what feels normal and acceptable then pulling back the curtains to show the horror of the reality. A Modest Proposal is a great example: a literary piece written to address solutions to the apathetic cruelty of English landowners during the Irish Famine.
I'm not even sure the implication is 'problematic'. Wanting pizza every night is pretty common early in the marriage, especially if you want to produce, uh, garlic knots.
@@JohnSyzlack Sweet lemon tea I pray tell you listen the full song again. This ain’t just about “crafting pizza” to hopefully get “garlic knots”. It’s about getting pizza whether the poor women is willing to make it or not with threats or waiting until she sleeps. ....it’s about marital rape
I already knew this wasn't about pizza the moment i saw at the top "Real (Problematic) Song" Mmm... and it solidified it when i heard the lyrics. "A wife must always say si si when her husband wants pizza every night" and " If your too tired Senora I get it outside for my friend Leanora"
My guess is that this is just a stereotype from Anglo women that Italian women were submissive, it's no different from modern day stereotypes of more exotic women.
Exactly! If women want to stay married they need to take care of their husbands. How are you going to lead someone to marriage and then stop the sex? Women are disgusting

*“But they used innuendos!”* And? So do modern songs. Again, clean and partially-explicit artists and songs exist.
*“They were (insert synonym), not vulgar!”*
Vulgar: making explicit and offensive reference to sex or bodily functions
*“But songs back then weren’t as vulgar!”*
- “When the Cows Come Home.”
- “I Wanna Little Sugar in my Bowl”
- Jazz music from the 20s
- “This Lady is a Tramp”
- “Tuttie Fruttie”
- “Shave ‘Em Dry”
- “Summer is icummen In” (This one is medieval for those who really wanna argue)
see the dirty jazz lyrics of the roaring 20's for SO MANY examples! Also really good jams too
Just show When the Cows Come Home to anybody who thinks old music wasn't vulgar. "I'll do it to ya honey till I make you shit" classy
back then poeple couldn’t sing freely about this kinda stuff, now because poeple are trying to normalize being open and talking about this, making it known. Poeple use more vulgar language for their music, which is why older music always sounded more romantic, because you had to find its hidden meaning
Nina Simone, I wanna little sugar in my bowl 🎶
It wasn’t every fucking song though. And even then the songs that where vulgar often had a good reason for vulgarity such as humor or making an artistic statement.
Creepy how this was so normalized. Its too real to laugh at.
Honestly, though 😴 Crazy how people STILL think like this, too.
What's really crazy is that she knows that this is a satirical song. And if she knows the song she knows the singer which means that she knows the proof spent her career producing satirical songs about the negativity she saw in society. What do I know though I'm just some person on RUclips
@@berrywitch8930So you fully admit the song is about things she saw in daily life and that the song is funny because it was realistic for the time.
Satire only works if it's realistic.
@@AnarexicSumo and what is your point? It was a commentary on how shity that behavior is
Do you not understand that the person you are following continually does this with satirical artists that are critiquing their time era? Have you not wondered why all of the songs that she's are oddly specific and really creepy? Have you ever looked up any of the people that she is sharing the songs of? She shares a lot of satirical songwriters that are making fun of things like George Carlin ask people and people under 25 think that this is real life and react the way you are right now. And then give her money for reacting the way you are right now
We used to sing this on the primary school lunch line while waiting to actual pizza. No wonder the cooks looked mortified
Guys, the singer isn't trying to normalize this or play it off as a joke. It's satire; she's using it to criticize what is already seen as normal in her society.
The first comment I've read that shows some critical thinking skills. It's not a problematic song, it's a feminist song that uses irony and shock as a weapon.
@@ZoroarkChampionI think the reason people are saying it’s a problematic song is because the reality of DV and marital SA were so common back then, and it’s sad that a song like this could be sung out in the open (even as a satirical critique). That’s my thought anyway
@@sing2meh don't ever go anywhere they play rap music. They play songs describing shit way worse and without innuendo "out in the open" all the time.
@@joeeveryman2935 if I hear this or any song in public, I won’t fall to my knees and clutch my pearls 😂 I’m just talking about this in an academic sense
@itsmarinah except your premise is flawed. It's satire, it means it's an exaggeration of the pressure wives feel from their husband's sexual desires. It's not at all saying "my husband rapes me all of the time". This is exactly like when people misunderstood what "Baby It's Cold Outside" is about because culture has just outright dropped innuendo so nobody understands how people flirted back in the 50s.

What's pretty funny is that up until maybe the 90's, songs were about things with innuendo about sex. Nowadays it's the opposite.

@@Goblinkatiewhy what's the song about?
A lot of people think this song is super fucked, but honestly that might be the point. This very well might be intentionally satirical. A commentary on the fact that many marriages WERE like this, and a public way to say 'fuck these guys', as well as giving a little catharsis to the women who faced these things. Similar to incest in fairy tales and Greek tragedies where the wife kills her husband.

This reminds me of that Filipino movie I watched as a child. In my childhood our movies where less of comedy or romance but real tradegy and true situations or inspired from ones that had happened in history of within ones family or life.
I watched half of it before having changed it right after my parents fell asleep to watch nickelodeon and disney just to avoid nightmares.
I can't remember the name or the whole movie but i can't forget how much it traumatized me and made me distrust my elders so much. This was one of those movies. The woman was beautiful but tired from repeating housework and constant gossip and complaints from others, she was forced to marry and she truly thought to herself that she was happy, only for one night when she told her husband no because she was too tired to be able to give him what he wanted, that he forced himself on her. She screamed and struggled and cried until the next morning..
Thats when I learned at a young age that despite having married, consent is no different from strangers hooking up in young adult movies.
I'm going to guess that the movie was around the time the likes of Lino Brocka (filipino national artist for film) and Nora Aunor were around. There were a lot of films the openly criticized Filipino society from the 60s-80s; and in retrospect, it was impressive they were able to get that far without government backlash. Not that critical films Filipino films don't exist, but for a long while they mostly are seen in the Filipino indie film scene.
@@tripleoof8159 I do believe the actress was Nora Aunor, I was an open fan to her even despite the traumatizing movies. Amidst that time I really only watched because I adored her acting cause it was really good in my opinion!

Unfortunately a lot of men still think like this. They really think once youre married they are owed "pizza" whenever they want it no matter how the woman feels.
Withholding physical intimacy has legal precedent as grounds for divorce, aka committing constructive abandonment of the marriage. There's a reason why marriage vows state that two become one. You don't operate independently anymore; you have marital obligations that must be met or you are in breach of contract and an oath-breaker.
@@goodluckgoofy3354 you are not owed intimacy whenever you want it. Marital rape is still a crime
I think most men accept that sex whenever they want after marriage is a pipe dream. Those who don't, are going to be quickly disavowed of that notion.
@@goodluckgoofy3354you are not owed sex and intimacy.
@@goodluckgoofy3354 someone not being in the mood to have sex with you for whatever reason, including your wife is not "withholding intimacy". You are not entitled to have sex with anyone without their enthusiastic consent first legally. Maybe it would qualify as grounds for divorce if they were never in the mood for no reason (e.g. not because of some behaviour you did or relationship issues you were having that caused them to not want to). Wives are not like vending machines that are meant to dispense sex whenever is convenient for you, they are fully autonomous people who you have to continuously court, treat well and make yourself attractive to in order for them to want to have sex with you, same as all relationships

It is hard to take this song as an example of normalised behavior of the 50s (where exactly it's not stated, 50s Italy was very different from 50s New York).
Judging this song as a reflection of standard behavior all these decades later would be like someone in the year 2100 taking WAP as the standard for relationships in our day.
Context is important.
Tbh i do think she more Like used her songs to Draw Attention to certain behavior. Many countries only decided in the 80s or 90s that s.x without consent in marriage could be prosecuted as assault or r.p. - before that it was legal and women were Not able to do smth about it...

@@NortelGeekYeah so I've read this thread very carefully and I've determined that absolutely no one has said that men never experience abuse in intimate relationships. This was a conversation about spousal rape in the context of a song which addresses the subject, isn't a competition to determine which gender is more evil. Two things can be wrong at the same time, but, I have to say, if your response to someone bringing up spousal rape by men is to point out that some women abuse their husbands, you might have a problem with women. Can you see how it comes across like you're trying to downplay rape?

She's singing about a problem, drawing attention to it, not saying it's normal or ok. Raising awareness isn't "problematic"
That is certainly not the case.
@@oliviamizzi33you have no reading comprehension
Exactly and I think what op and a lot of younger people may not realize is this song was drawing attention to a problem with humor because society was different back then. Nowadays we do this by getting on RUclips and complaining about stuff to draw attention to it for some reason
Thank you!! Talking about something negative is somehow automatically seen as promoting it or supporting it these days, for some reason, regardless of how blatantly obvious it is that it's just raising awareness.
It's weird. I'm fairly confident cheating was NEVER normalized or okay, though there was definitely a lot of it and a lot of forced resignation (on women's part) to that fact. Largely thanks to social expectations. Whereas if a woman cheated, it was all hell to pay.
As to the rest (the expectations of a wife) I think those were, unfortunately, and as my mother tells it (born 1950), normal. Go to school, maybe learn to type or sow or both, learn to cook, get a man, give him a family and raise it. That's what she *expected* - and all of her friends did. It was, sadly, "normal", and to them, while not "okay" as in "happily accepted", it was "okay" as in "it was merely the way things are".
It's hard to put myself in her shoes and imagine not even having a thought that things were drastically out of whack. That my main thought about it all amounted to "it's unfair. but life is unfair. so whatcha ganna do?", and then, through the late 60's, 70's and 80's realizing the truth and that things could be different and fighting for it.
Wild.
I don’t think it’s problematic. It’s very clearly in protest of that kind of marriage, and the assault that takes place within.
Yeah but the fact that this satirises something that's actually happening. It's the actual thing that's problematic not the joke. No one should be thinking that the joke is that she's getting raped by her husband. The joke is that she made a clever song about it. She's calling attention to her situation in a humourous way. Her situation is problematic. The music isn't.
Yeah honestly it's not like the song is trying to normalise it. She's clearly portraying it as a bad thing. It seems more to me like it's spreading awareness than anything else.

@@RueJue That is so horrible. I’m sorry you had to deal with that. I’m grateful that you’re here. My father isn’t exactly super minded on women’s liberation either.
Marital rape is still not recognised as a criminal act in India
@@pallavirana3022 that's truly awful. 😖
Most mxn are despicable anyway
This makes me think of people hearing stories from their grandmothers. So how did you and grandpa got married? Oh i was stalked by him, oh i was chased through a corn field, oh i went to a wedding turn out to be my wedding."
That last one happened too often for older people I knew. :'x I would literally fight everyone there and not sign a dang thing. No amount of "well, we're here now, you might a well just-" would push me into that. I would go feral, run out to the woods and become a literal animal first.
If I may offer a nicer story.
My great great grandmother got away from a child marriage. She literally escaped it on her own accord. That would have been the early 1920s in Southern Africa. I can't stop thinking of her bravery. How scared she must have been and how much she knew by doing that, she couldn't return to her family. But she did it. And she even had a short term relationship with a young Jewish man who had come over for work. They couldn't continue their relationship because rules on all sides but apparently he still had her photo before he died (we found our long lost second cousins). There's was a relationship of equals. So was her proper marriage later on.
Throughout my great great grandmother's life she actively advocated for herself when it was frankly dangerous to do so. Both by colonial powers and by baked in regressive traditions. I look up to her hard cigar smoking, rooting tooting ways. She is one of the foundations of our family.
I finish with this. That my great great grandmother wasn't killed for her choices is a grit but also luck. I don't want future young women to face what she faced. So in honour of her, I fight back. And for my grandfathers who saw her as the person she was and not chattel.
@@Firegen1No marriage is ever 100% equal. True equality means being identical, and I don't want a wife identical to me, because that would be gay.
Really cool song, makes me think of a diffrent time in American Italian life
When my wife and I got married (in 2010 btw) her dad told her to never tell me no. She wasn’t shocked by this apparently, but I kind of lost my mind. I was like, umm no, she can absolutely say no bud, and so can I. He did not like that lol
Perfect response
Based as hell.

You’re just an Internet troll we’ve all figured it out now you’re literally just spouting nonsense over multiple comments in this video get a life😂
It wasn't until 1993 that marital r@pe was deemed a crime; even then, it had a bumpy time getting the offender charged.
It wasn't until 1993 that marital r@pe was specifically mentioned. R@pe inside marriage was always illegal. Reminds me of the new anti lynching laws. Guess what, murder and kidnapping was already illegal, but doofuses thought because lynching wasn't specifically mentioned, it was legal or something.
I cant BELIEVE how long that took...and how many women AND men were harmed till then without justice 😔
Except it was illegal the second r@pe was made illegal. Reminds me of the brand new anti lynching laws. Kidnapping and murder was already illegal. Totally pointless law.
It's still a hard case to win. Making progress at least...
Pretty sure they made a Law & Order episode about that.
Married men tend to live longer than unmarried men, but the opposite is true for women. Single women live longer than married women.
It used to be that women were expected to be intimate with their husbands regardless of whether the wife wanted it or not. Marital ape wasn't a thing in the old days, men were legally allowed to beat their wives too.
Once again, I'm happy & grateful to be single!
It was absolutely a thing.
Just because it was made legal didnt change that it was force non consent.
Never forget that spousal grape was legal in this country until the 90s
@@victorialynnstrubleI think they meant is wasn't called that. Marital rαpe was seen as the same as simply having sεx with your wife
@@victorialynnstruble I think they meant it wasn't referred to as marital rape, that wasn't a phrase then. It was something that happened but it wasn't "wrong", not in the eyes of the law or the general public. So it wasn't marital rape then, it was just "being a good wife", or a man "taking what is his".
Just because it wasn't illegal yet doesn't mean it was "normal", and just because it's illegal now doesn't mean it doesn't still happen.
Don't you expect the stats to get better? Mortality stats are going to be based on people first married many years ago.
Wow he likes pizza a lot😊
And even if you “si si” he will still cheat. It’s less about what you do and more about who he is. Respect your boundaries ladies.
Yeah I learned that the hard way.
Thank you
Real men don't cheat. I have a wife and we're super loyal to eachother. Don't ever generalize relationships or anything like the human condition. You'll be wrong in your assumptions.
Also, duh! This song is satirical.
@@JeremiahWdabullfrog why so triggered lmao?
@@yegra Why do you think I'm triggered? Just another assumption. smh
My god whoever sung this was COOKING
Not literally apparently 😦
Frrr
Yeah! Her name is Ruth Wallice and she was iconic! She was way too smart for her time and her satire and wordplay got her songs banned. Which only got her more popular! This is one of my favorites along with Boobs! And Queer Things are Happening to Me
I could have sworn we were gonna get a pizza recipe song at the beginning when they said he didn't want mozzarella! Me thinking "oh what other kind of cheese is this guy into" XD
Man. They made some wild song
Problematic song? You mean a clever piece of art that addresses the real experiences of women at the time? Yes it reveals something very sad about that era of history but it doesnt mean the song itself is bad
It was actually a criticism of wives conditions at the time
@@bnhalemon7098yes correct lol
Problematik for the times
Like the people were probably scandalised
Problematic isn't referring to the song, but the behavior, you brainless nippet.
Think it’s meaning, “in the 1950s, this was a problematic song”. It’s kinda clear that the creator in the skit is emphasizing with the lyrics, not hating
I actually kind of like it because in the 1950s, they never said the quiet parts outloud, I bet she caught a lot of heat for this style of music in the 50s
Also, it's really good advice too!!!
When i heard "my always said say si si" i knew exactly where this was going
Its a good wife , one who does that
Took “let me cook” to a whole other level
This song is a Banger!
Literally and figuratively.
Thank god someone else loved it as much and I did
Ruth is a queer icon. She spent half of her career making satirical songs about how ridiculous the behavior she sung about were which is why the songs are so outrageous. There entire books about her writings. She was very controversial for her time because her outspokenness about her beliefs. How about you start doing history shorts about these songs because this is not the first time you have shared a satirical song and used it as fact
This song really is a well written satire of the culture at the time
Im not really sure what you're bothered about. The point of satire is to highlight the reality/fact of the subject matter in ways that one may not be able to do directly, so saying this creator has used satire as fact is a little odd. This video didn't say it wasn't satire- it was clear to me that it was. The song is problematic one way or the other; not in the sense that it is advocating for the awful things it references but because it accurately portrays through satire the really horrible realities of a lot of womens' lives - which are extremely problematic. I understood by listening to it that it was satire; I don't think the creator of this video is misleading anyone.
Edited because typing without my glasses on was a bad idea.
@@pearcat08 this is your first time seeing one her videos because she plays game with this series and with every one of them and never explains the sources or their content. How is it not a red flag that you take a bunch of queer artists work and portrayed in a negative but don't explain their perspective. She took a male feminist and made him out to be an abuser because one of his satirical songs she explained who's about him wanting to kill women. That same singers most famous songs called poisoning pigeons in the park guess what it was about.
Satire still shows facts about the time it was written though, it doesn’t come out of nowhere
She literally does you just don't pay attention. Read the description. @@berrywitch8930
I dont think this song is problematic. Everyone who pistened to it and the person who created it was aware that the situation shouldn't be normal. This song would ve problematic if the singer were, say, romanticizing or justifing such a situation.
Problematic refers to the subject matter not the song.
I don't think "he hit me and it felt like a kiss" is a problematic song. This is only problematic because ruth made it a joke.
I don't know how you find these songs. But you my friend are a comedic genius
Bruh my autistic ass actually thought this was about pizza. Just thought the dude was a real pizza fanatic like damnn you don't want to eat anything else ever??💀💀
No same 😭
It probably took me longer than it shouldve to realize she wasnt talking about pizza😅
It's not only about pizza there's also some mozarella in that song😉
Same😅 it wasn't until the a-salt pun that it hit me, lol
The song isn’t “Real problematic”, the subject it addresses is!
I feel a lot of folks of forgotten what the proper use of shock is in media.
This is it. A false sense of security then reality harshly thrown in to force the viewer to think hard about the situation.
It’s used for cheat plot material mostly nowadays but when you want a subject addressed shock is a powerful tool. Starting things out with what feels normal and acceptable then pulling back the curtains to show the horror of the reality.
A Modest Proposal is a great example: a literary piece written to address solutions to the apathetic cruelty of English landowners during the Irish Famine.
I'm not even sure the implication is 'problematic'. Wanting pizza every night is pretty common early in the marriage, especially if you want to produce, uh, garlic knots.
it was a SATIRE song. This wasn't a true song. LMFAO
@@JohnSyzlack
Sweet lemon tea I pray tell you listen the full song again. This ain’t just about “crafting pizza” to hopefully get “garlic knots”.
It’s about getting pizza whether the poor women is willing to make it or not with threats or waiting until she sleeps.
....it’s about marital rape
@@smolboi1222 She seems pretty tsundere to me.
I already knew this wasn't about pizza the moment i saw at the top "Real (Problematic) Song"
Mmm... and it solidified it when i heard the lyrics.
"A wife must always say si si when her husband wants pizza every night" and " If your too tired Senora I get it outside for my friend Leanora"
The fact that this needs to be pointed out as SATIRE is ridiculous. The SONG isn’t problematic, the CULTURE that the song is shining a light on IS.
i thought she was singing about what she went through
My guess is that this is just a stereotype from Anglo women that Italian women were submissive, it's no different from modern day stereotypes of more exotic women.
Exactly! If women want to stay married they need to take care of their husbands. How are you going to lead someone to marriage and then stop the sex? Women are disgusting
@@Planeet-LongThis song applies to 99.99% of females in the whole world.
Welcome to the modern day internette.
LOL, that's a funny double-entendre song. I love her facial expressions. That line about "that's why we have so many bambinos" is hilarious.
It’s not a double entendre.
@@aaron4163 You could argue about it being more of a euphemism but it could absolutely be considered a double-entendre song.
@@aaron4163 it is though. You don't have to like something for it to be so
😂 has me chuckling 😂
Not so funny. This was before Roe V. Wade. Now we're back in the shithole 50s. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
its from a comedy album this got me listening to her hits lol
The topic isnt funny though
@@wynterwolfrose228It’s more satire. Making the topics she’s talking about seem ridiculous or awful (like marital r*** in this particular song)
I actually rlly love her music :p it’s rlly good ^^
Reminds me of when my neighbours were playing oldies for this past new years. One of the songs was about a man pursuing a woman he watched grew up...
Even some new songs are like that too, one I can think of off the top of my head is blurred lines (not the same topic but still problematic)
@@beesquestionmark blurred lines isn't problematic lol. You are just emotionally illiterate.
Was it "Don't Get Hooked On Me" by Mac Davis?
@@TDArulesclub4 might have been. I was just hearing it from next door I don't exactly know the name and artist
Guys, the first hint is "He don't much care for mozzarella," it's definitely not pizza lmao
Yep! Its Rarital Mape (censored bc youtube)
@@Jayce-verse RUclips does not censor the words marital or rape. I have no idea why you pretend it does.
@@Jayce-verse nah, its legal
