Are The Eagles (the band) misogynistic?

Question

Hi

So I was reading/talking about The Eagles when someone said that they were misogynistic. Was this person wrong or have they done/said things that would make that true. I havent listened to them as much as I should and have not found anything in their music that may suggest this.

Thanks

Answer 1

I've never heard anything in their lyrics that would even vaguely lead me to believe they hated women.

That sounds really silly to me.

Answer 2

surely the guy who reported there is purely one Eagles is erroneous. there have been 3: a million.there became The Eagles from the '50s that were a rhythm and blues band from united statesa. 2.And there became also a band observed as "Eagles" from Britian from previous due '50s to the 60s. And the single i imagine you're speaking about are the Eagles from the 70s on wards. New youngster on the city got here out in 1976 Lyin' Eyes in 1975 i trust All there significant albums from the '70s were: Self-titled Eagles 1972 Desperado 1973 on the Border 1974 this way of Nights 1975 inn California 1976 the lengthy run 1979 wish this helps take care dave

Answer 3

Misogynistic means they dislike women, right? I have never heard of that being connected to the Eagles.

Edit:
I found an article that may help....according to these things, they may be. I had no idea! Thanks for asking this question.

And, I read on one of these that "Witchy Woman" would be considered misogynistic.

Answer 4

Before they were the Eagles, they were the Stone Poneys, Linda Ronstadt's first back-up band, so, no I think those accusations are false.
