I always thought Sandy Posey's two hits - Born A Woman and A Single Girl, both about how badly a woman needs a man to be fulfilled in life - would not be welcomed on the radio today. 

Not a pop song, but the absolute ultimate male-chauvenest-pig song has to be "Put Another Log On The Fire". by Waylon Jennings, Tompall Glasser, and others. As you can imagine, it gets quite a reaction when I sing it at karaoke.

Personally, and as the primary admin of this site, I'm just glad to see more postings here recently and from a good variety of people. As I think I've mentioned before, I sometimes go looking for articles to post that may only be of marginal interest just so the board doesn't go too long without some activity ... I well remember how inactive the previous board had become long before Ron Smith finally shut it down. 
But I was already thinking of saying something partly in response to memphis boy's comment about Elvis, which of course was referencing "Baby Let's Play House". With the exception of "He Hit Me", which I know went nowhere when it came out because it was viewed so negatively, I'm not aware of there being much if anything in the way of significant negative reaction to the other songs when they came out. I was born in 1960 and so I'm not old enough to have firsthand knowledge about how songs from my childhood or before were viewed, but I certainly heard most of them played enough as I got older to have the impression that this was generally the case.

 Thinking about Jimmy Soul, there is a line in  a song I love by Sam Cooke that I guess demeans one woman, great lines though  "     Another fella told me he had a sister who looked just fine, instead of being my  deliverance,  she bore a strange resemblence to a cat named Frankenstein "      Classic !

Alice Cooper released one with a title that embarrasses me to even mention it but it epitomizes misogyny:Only Women Bleed.  And it charted #12 on the Billboard charts in 1975.
Jack Jones: Wives and Lovers
Bob Dylan: Just Like A Woman

Obviously The Rolling Stones had several. To mention a few:
Stupid Girl
Some Girls
Under My Thumb
possibly, She's So Cold

Not to mention Brown Sugar, which they no longer perform in concert.
