Bad enough that the Rolling Stones played in Israel despite Pink Floyd’s righteous boycott on behalf of Palestinian terrorists. Now we learn that they are sexists too. A militant moonbat named Lynn Stuart Parramore (no relation to treasonous moonbat luminary Lynne Stuart, so far as I know) screams on AlterNet that she was in Trader Joe’s and was forced to listen to the 1966 Stones hit “Under My Thumb” — right there in ultra-liberal New York City, despite the lyrics being a thought crime:

As I listened, I thought about how the song plays in the wake of Elliot Rodger’s killing spree, fueled, as the killer explained in a lengthy manifesto, by his rage against women and desire to control them.

We’ve been wringing our hands, asking how young men can become so hostile and eager to dominate to women. Well, isn’t it because our culture feeds them the message at every turn, even in the most mundane settings? What does it mean that degradation of half the population is considered appropriate background noise to everyday life?

“Under My Thumb” is classic rock’s answer to “The Taming of the Shrew.” It tells the tale of a guy who gets the upper hand over his domineering girlfriend.

At least Trader Joe’s didn’t play “Brown Sugar,” which according to Ms. Stuart Parramore “celebrates slave owners raping black women.”

Nonetheless, she was enraged.

What kinds of messages do we think are OK today in 2014? Why should I have to hear about a guy comparing his girlfriend to a dog while I’m buying vegetables?

So Ms. Stuart Parramore launched a jihad to get the song banned from the Muzak playlist Trader Joe’s plays in its stores. She was given the polite runaround, which is what businesses do with kooks who expect the entire universe to submit to their irrational whims. This made her even angrier.

Sorry, Ms. Stuart Parramore. Trader Joe’s isn’t under your thumb.

Unfortunately, we live in a generation dominated by Ms. Stuart Parramores. That’s why what’s left of our culture is turning to tasteless lukewarm mush.

Some day soon “Under My Thumb” will probably be shoved down the memory hole for its political incorrectness. In the meantime, in honor of Ms. Stuart Parramore:

This picture was used on a billboard in Hollywood to promote the Stones' album "Black and Blue". Feminists went crazy.



I recall, back in the day, that when the Stones first appeared on American TV, Jagger announced at the beginning of their set, "We don't give a damn what you think of us." Somehow I doubt they will be much concerned with this ditz and others like her.
