Article here. Excerpt:

'Princeton’s all-male acappella group is ending a tradition that goes along with their performance of a Disney song that a critic said promotes "toxic masculinity."

During their performances of the song "Kiss The Girl" from Disney's "The Little Mermaid" the Tigertones brought a random man and woman on stage, according to the group's president Wesley Brown in a guest column in the Daily Princetonian.

After dancing with each of them, the members then encouraged them to "do as the song says" and give each other a kiss on the cheek.'

... let's ban "Baby It's Cold Outside" from the Xmas song playlist.

Too late. Happened already.

The song encourages the prince to kiss the girl without getting her consent. But asking her consent just like that can be considered sexual harassment. So, a man has to ask her consent to ask her consent. But to be on the safer side, he should ask her consent to ask her consent to ask her consent. To be even safer, he should ask her consent to ask her consent to ask her consent to ask her consent.

And to be even safer still, he should get every consent in this infinite chain of consents notarized.

And after all that, she could still change her mind before, during, or after the kiss and his ass will still end up in irons.
