Maybe we should threaten to do a Lysistrata
Lysistrata is an ancient Greek comedy by Aristophanes, originally performed in classical Athens in 411 BC. It is a comic account of a woman's extraordinary mission to end the Peloponnesian War between Greek city states by denying all the men of the land any sex, which was the only thing they truly and deeply desired.

If the strategy hinges on one day every other November then you're not going to win.

3. hmmm
comedy yes and in reality,... we live now in a time when women can enjoy sex as much as men... young men are much affected by current events......
and it seems as if the intent of older white men is to punish women for enjoying sex... weird |

12. I don't think it's accurate to say 'older white men' specifically
There's plenty of Blacks and LatinX folks (of both genders) who are also anti-choice.
And women (in general) too, esp. older ones but not entirely. Just sayin' |

21. I know...
just something I do... I always teased my late wonderful husband and told him "I hate old white men" (of which he was one) and he understood perfectly... he was one of the really good ones... I no longer have him to tease and old habits die hard

Never underestimate the power of women to control history.

8. I would recommend that it be done selectively...
Because conservative woman are not gonna join you, and so it seems you would only be punishing men who may otherwise agree with you.
But if you are married or dating an anti-abortion man, then have at it. |

14. It would have to be Republican women
since it's their husbands who have stripped away women's rights. I don't see that happening.

19. It Wouldn't Work
For several reasons. 1) Women whose partners are also pro-choice. 2) Lesbians? 3) Women who are anti-choice would not participate.

Don't all pile on now. This is just tongue in cheek like vylons' post is.

23. Maybe the younger people (guys) should look it up if they don't know who Lorena is or what she did.
Nice little deterrent for them.
