"Cohen is music's favorite misogynist..."

Post by Goldin »

I don't suggest to discuss each and every nonsense article related to LC, but this is rather funny (not funny at all, at the same time).

60 Famous People You Didn’t Know Were Scientologists >> Former Members >> 6. Leonard Cohen
Cohen is music’s favorite misogynist and go-to depresser of all human beings. He sang the classic tunes “Hallelujah” and “Famous Blue Raincoat.” Cohen has never had sex with a woman he couldn’t be melancholic about later.

'Misogynist'! Jeez, people do like to bandy that word about... some of his lyrics can be a little uncomfortable as a woman, but anyone who takes misogyny away from LC's songs has got the wrong end of the stick.

Isn't the expression "the wrong end of the stick" a little misogynistic? ;-)
