    I feel I’m going to be saying this a lot… Women, repeat after me: “MAGA cut off. No pussy for 4-years.”

    Nothing else, not even a pithy one-liner, nothing for them to grab onto or ague about, simply a hard NO. Can y’all please make this a real movement?

    Wasn’t there a pair of warring African tribes where the women got together and told the men they were cut off until they made peace? May be misremembering a bit, but it worked, instantly.

    EDIT: Looks to be more than one such story in Africa alone.

      I think you miss the implication of, “Your body, my choice.”

      It’s not about abortion. It’s about rape. They are threatening rape. Telling a rapist that you are withholding sex means nothing to them.

      There was an ancient Greek play by Aristophanes.

      Edit: someone needs to put this on without modernizing it. This sounds hilarious.

      A Spartan herald then appears with a large burden (an erection) scarcely hidden inside his tunic and he requests to see the ruling council to arrange peace talks. The magistrate, now also sporting a prodigious burden, laughs at the herald’s embarrassing situation but agrees that peace talks should begin.

      There is the 4B movement. I don’t know much about it, but I think it started in South Korea. Basically, women are swearing off men for…I don’t know how long.
