I tell my girls, you hold the power as long as you cross your legs.
Once you give it up, they have power over you.
I don’t necessarily disagree with you in principle, but I would be hesitant to explain sex to a girl as a gendered power struggle. It seems to me that instilling such a view could have detrimental effects on their marital sex lives (in which sex should not be a power-play).

You really sure that’s the message you want your kids going off into life with?
You don’t have a very high opinion of mankind, do you?
That’s so sad.
Once they start looking at it as a power issue, they’ve lost anyway.
People don’t seem to realize that you merely gave the timeless message of teen relationships between the sexes.
That is why I believe that when they invent a simple, effective pill for males, that girls will convert quickly to abstinence, to regain their power within their relations with the boys.
Teaching your children that sex is a power play is just wrong on so many levels. Besides, there are just as many predatory women looking to get laid as there are men.
