Sorry fumesucker, but it sucks.
First off, the singer only ASSUMES he is a "strong persuader." Nowhere in the lyrics does it paint a picture of the neighbor woman saying "no" and then relenting.
For all this guy knows, she wanted it as bad as he does, but he's convinced himself - as so many humans do - that he is "all that and a bag of chips."
This is only one side of the story. For all we know, she fantasized about HIM for a long time before sleeping with the guy, but he's such a narcissist, he can only think about his own impulses.
TO try to use these lyrics to apologize for men who can't control their penises, or to apologize for sexual bullies, is so sophomoric you should be ashamed.
I assume you are hetero ( and you appear to be rather jealous of those who can coerce women into sex ) but let me ask you this. If a gay man asks you for sex and you say no quite clearly, how long would you want him to keep trying? If he gets you too drunk to think, but sweet talks you into sex while you're inebriated, is that rape?
If your male boss tells you you'll be fired unless you accept his penis in your anus, and you consent under duress, is it rape? According to your logic, it wouldn't be rape because "coercion" is acceptable behavior from someone who needs an orgasm right?
These threads really point out how many men refuse to evolve. It's sad and sickening, really.
