'Women of America: Take the pledge. Because SCOTUS overturned Roe v. Wade, we cannot take the...

Big Apple abortion protestors were in support of a sex strike Saturday — as “abstinence” started trending on Twitter in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.“If you’re a man who won’t get a vasectomy, even though it’s reversible, and you’re not out in the streets fighting for my rights, you do not deserve to have sex with me,” Brianna Campbell, a 24-year-old EMT, told The Post.

Joy Behar — “Women in the world have conducted sex strikes in history. In 2003, a sex strike helped to end Liberia’s brutal civil war. The woman who started it was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. In Kenya, they forced a sex ban until fighting ceased. In one week, there was a stable government. We have more power than we think we have, and some of it could be right in the bedroom, just saying.”

Pam Keith, a former Democrat candidate for Congress in Florida, is openly calling for women to stop having sex with conservative men.____ Keith jumped to her Twitter account with the quixotic demand that women should boycott sexual relations with all conservative men: Ladies: STOP having sex w/conservative men TOTAL COMPLETE SEX BOYCOTT. Don’t let them anywhere near you. Give them the hand and keep it moving. Get a B.O.B. But make it a rule to run, not walk, from men who want to steal your agency over yourself & your life. That’s it. Keith’s latest tweet, though, seems to be...

FULL TITLE: Alyssa Milano calls for women across America to go on a 'sex strike' until Georgia's controversial anti-abortion 'heartbeat bill' is overturned Alyssa Milano has called for all women to go on a 'sex strike' until a controversial anti-abortion law in Georgia has been repealed. Milano, 46, who was instrumental in the #MeToo movement, called on her vast social media following to abstain from sex until the restrictive abortion law - dubbed the 'heartbeat bill' - is overturned. The heartbeat bill makes it illegal for women to have an abortion after a heartbeat has been detected in the womb...

Taking a cue from the literature of ancient Greece, actress and political activist Alyssa Milano called for a "sex strike" Friday in response to the "heartbeat" bill that Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp recently signed into law. [snip] "Our reproductive rights are being erased. Until women have legal control over our own bodies we just cannot risk pregnancy," Milano tweeted. "JOIN ME by not having sex until we get bodily autonomy back. I’m calling for a #SexStrike. Pass it on."

Since scratching and beating on the doors of the Supreme Court had zero effect on keeping Justice Brett Kavanaugh off the court, the ladies of the left have decided to go with a new tactic: a sex strike! That's right, fellas, you're all out of luck with the #Resist girls. Author Wednesday Martin has penned an essay at CNN called "What if Women Went On a Sex Strike Before the Midterms?"

For years men have waged war and, of course, sex is not a novel concept or construct. Lysistrata portrays women in a powerful role, namely in control of their sex and sex in general. They have authority over the men. When the absurdities of war have taken their men away, the women use sex as a weapon in order to obtain peace. By withholding sex, women come to essentially control their men. The men eventually succumb to the women and yield in their determination to carry out a war. This is interesting because in Ancient Greek tradition, the women are...

Organizers of the Women's March have set the date for their next protest. "A Day Without a Woman" is set for March 8 - International Women's Day. The event is being described as a "general strike" but information on what will take place isn't yet known.

Activists in Ohio have launched an anti-Trump campaign that will succeed or fail based on how many of the Republican front-runner’s supporters are denied sex. “Vote Trump, Get Dumped” was launched across a variety of social media platforms in response to Donald Trump’s surging presidential campaign. Its motto: “No Sex. No dates. No chance.” “To cast a vote for Trump is to agree with his sexist, perverted, demeaning, backwards, offensive treatment of women. Learn what’s at stake,” the group’s website says. “Join us by wielding your influence. Until Trump is defeated, we don’t date, sleep with, or canoodle with Trump...

When all else fails, try no sex. Chicago’s street violence is so bad that a very brave and self-composed South Side woman, April Lawson, is organizing black women to vow no sex until the killing stops, like now! “Make sure these fools put down their guns,” she’s telling her lady warriors. And her sex strike mission is based on Aristophanes’ classic Greek play, “Lysistrata!” To stop the perpetual war between Athens and Sparta, a strong Athenian woman “explains to the other women: They are to withhold sexual privileges from their menfolk as a means of forcing them to bring an...

Spike Lee’s new movie “Chiraq” has an interesting take on how to end the violence in Chicago: Withhold sex from men to stop the carnage.

Feminist Calls for Sex Strike in Texas By Lauren Enk Created 07/01/2013 - 3:50pm By Lauren Enk | July 01, 2013 | 15:50 A A Misanthropic feminists are at it again. HuffPo’s Vivian Norris just suggested a sex strike in Texas to pressure male voters into giving in to the feminist agenda (aka abortion on demand – er, “women’s healthcare.”) Deeply disgruntled that Texas might pass a bill banning abortions after 20 weeks, Norris urged Texas women to force men to vote for pro-choice agendas in the future by refusing to have intercourse with them this summer. “Don't give in...

We need to use our own power and have a BAN on SEXUAL RELATIONSHIPS with men that have guns. We need to stop HARBOURING and ENABLING our sons with guns. Can we make it happen?" the blog states.

Folks, come and look at this. It's a site which says -- I am not kidding! -- IF OUR REPRODUCTIVE CHOICES ARE DENIED SO ARE YOURS APRIL 28 – MAY 5, 2012 Now this is hilarious: it evinces the kind of stupidity and fatuous narcissism which it normally takes an Ivy League degree to acquire. How is this FAIL? Let me count the ways: 1) I guess nobody bothered to explain to you about the Birds and the Bees and the DDT, ladies, but by engaging in abstinence, you are achieving precisely the same ends as contraception. For that matter,...

Irked by the recent constitutional crises that arose among the coalition government partners in Kenya, women in the country have decided to deny men sex for seven days. Yesterday, thousands of the women vowed to begin a week-long sex strike to protest their country's bickering leadership, which they say threatens to revive the bloody chaos of last year. Leaders from Kenya's largest and oldest group dedicated to women's rights, the Women's Development Organisation, said they hoped the boycott would persuade men to pressure government to make peace. The women have also called on the wives of President Mwai Kibaki and...

...Who says there's nothing new under the sun? Monday, March 3, saw the emergence of a new kind of protest against war--the Lysistrata Project. Back in January, two clever and indefatigable New York actresses, Kathryn Blume and Sharron Bower, had the marvelous idea of staging readings of Aristophanes' hilarious and bawdy antiwar protofeminist play, in which the women of Greece, led by the strong, intelligent and fearless Lysistrata, unite to withhold sex from their warrior husbands until they agree to end the Peloponnesian War. Before they knew it, the project had grown to include more than 1,000 readings in 59...

On Monday, women across America and in more than 50 countries worldwide will begin denying their husbands sex until there is no longer any threat of war. Relax, guys, the women are just actresses, participating in an international theater event organized by the Lysistrata Project. “Lysistrata,” an ancient Greek comedy written by Aristophanes, is being performed globally on Monday as a collective protest against a war with Iraq.“ ‘Lysistrata’ is one of the oldest anti-war plays,” said Daniel Patterson, an associate professor of theater at Keene State College. “It’s about 2,300 years old. It’s just amazing when you read it...
