I hated that song the second I heard what it was about. I loathe, loathe, LOATHE the "asking the father for permission" bullshit. Marriage is propositioned = if the woman gives her consent, THAT IS THE END OF THE FUCKING STORY. I mean, I'd like my parents to like the guy I'd marry, but the idea of him going to my father (who I have a rocky relationship with) to ask to marry me just...*pulls hair out*
I really dislike most country music, mostly for gender!fail, religion!fail, politics!fail or a combination of the three.
That said, I would adore it if my future husband asked my mother for permission/her blessing because she is the one who raised me and I can't imagine I'd marry someone she didn't think would be a good match for me.
