Opinions please. Someone tells me that my favorite Led Zeppelin song is misogynistic. I differ. I say that if it was about women in general then it would be misogynistic, but it is about one specific and no doubt fictional woman and that exonerates it from being misogynistic. By the way, it is my favorite Led Zeppelin song because of its sound. I went for years without even bothering to pay attention to the words. But now that I have paid attention to the words I don't think it is misogynistic. Let me know what you think. Here is a link to it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yO2n7QoyieM
