Lysistrata

[LiberalEsto]

Remember that old Greek play, Lysistrata?
The one where women band together to deny sex to their men until the war is ended.

If (and when) Scalito helps overturn Roe V. Wade, women should follow the footsteps of those ancient women and refuse to have sex until we regain control over our own bodies.

1. OH PLEASE DONT OVERTURN ROE...PLEASEPLEASE!!!! nt

[distantearlywarning]

2. Good idea. Except...

my man already supports a woman's right to choose. And he has no control over the millions of other assholes out there who don't. How would it be fair or just or even reasonable for me to deny him sex over this issue?

3. I am not punishing my husband for supporting a woman's right to choose.

That will never happen.

4. No way honey!

Marnieworld's gotta have it! ;-)

Can't we march or write letters instead?

5. We could only have sex with men who are demonstrably pro-choice....

Like the voluntarily sterile, those who really fight for our rights, etc.

The problem is that the Concerned "Women" for America types don't think they have the right to choose not to have sex, and they definitely don't have the right not to have a child if "god" so chooses.
