"oversold" - lol. Where I from they call what you did "making crap up" but, hey, I don't actually care that much. I mostly just wanted to make fun of the incely tone of the op and mock incel dog for his unwillingness (inability) to actually read anything prior to re-posting from the crap sources he runs to for his opinions. The article has nothing to do with withholding sex to get men to vote for democrats.

I mean, Schreech, you do you. All WD did was link to an article WITH THE TITLE OF:

What if women went on a sex strike before the midterms?

They damned wrap up the article with:

How might the political, social, and sexual landscapes all shift if we acknowledged that in many cases, the server is unsatisfied -- and actually believed it was important to set things right?


It's CNN. They have Pelosi's face right there. And well. There you go. Title. Wrap-up statement. Pelosi.

Whatever the case may be, if women want to control sex it's fine by me. I don't really care. That's their prerogative, but I think WD interpreted the article correctly.

That's ridiculous. Of course it's implied. Pelosi is highlighted with an interview video embedded, it's a CNN article, and the article strongly implies women getting their way, which, I don't know how you think they'd be talking about getting men to vote Republican by withholding sex. That's silly season thinking.


I admit that I didn't watch the video but I've read the article twice and I can't see where you're getting this. Maybe you'll point it out for us, Cam?

LOL, okay.

What if women went on a sex strike before the midterms?


If this isn't related to the midterms, uh, why does the author title her piece this way?

...women who were distressed because they didn't feel desire for their husbands or long-term partners. Wanting to keep their men happy, these women often had sex anyway, with a resigned attitude and little thought to their own pleasure...


Women aren't satisfied, apparently. Why?

But regular service sex is something else -- an arguably destructive habit fostered by specific social conditions, a symptom that something is amiss in not just our sex lives, but in our larger lives, and the culture more generally.

Oh, because women are upset by things which have nothing to do with sex itself, apparently.

It's time for a revolution. At the polls, and in the bedroom. And in our understanding of who women are, sexually and otherwise. Given the tight interweaving of economic and political power with sexual entitlement, female sexual autonomy has never been more urgent, and women's sexual pleasure has never been more political. Let's consider what it might mean to go on a sex strike of sorts -- to get what we want, rather than give what we think we owe others.

Do I need to translate this for you? The author literally says sex is interweaved with political power. To get what "we" want. And what is it "we" want?

Sex and status are linked. Where men have the tightest grip on resources and power, our society (including the women in their lives) will prioritize their pleasure -- and create false narratives about what women deserve, sexually and otherwise.

...

[SCREED ABOUT WOMEN'S EQUALITY]
A women's sex strike against service sex, a refusal to do it out of a sense of obligation, would force us to confront these basic inequalities. Our current administration has amped up the notion that women are mere extensions of male will and pleasure, there to serve at every turn....And female pleasure is irrelevant, even pathological, if it exists at all....Some women under the current administration may be fine with this paradigm, but they are fundamentally yoked to male desires and agendas, never to exist outside or without them.


^^^Trump Derangement Syndrome. I mean she's clearly telling women to go on a sex strike before a midterm in order to manipulate men for political gains. She doesn't give the name, but I wonder what political party that's intended to help? Gee, I have no idea. :rolleyes:

My follow-on comment is above, but the Pelosi interview was basically her just wanting more women in government. You'll note the caption below the video embed:

Pelosi: We could win the House with women 00:54


The video talks about getting more Democrat women candidates elected and into the House.

WD was spot on with his take on the article, the video, and whatnot. The message is clear. Why the pushback? I don't get it.

"This lady argues women should go on a sex strike if their "men" don't vote for Democrats." - no she doesn't. incel dog made crap up.
"Sex Strike for Democrats!" - not in the article. incel dog made crap up.
Pelosi is talking about women candidates and women participation in the election and says nothing about sex. Nothing. About. Sex....at all.
The article doent mention using sex to influence the vote and doesn't even have the word "election" or "democrat" in it.

The way you and incel dog choose to "interpret" the article doesn't reflect reality or what the article actually says but, hey:

"What the ____ is it with posters on this board who're pathologically incapable of admitting any sort of error, no matter how small? Instead you get constant deflection of personal responsibility. That was a totally r____ response and if genuine, absolutely buffoonish reasoning."

I literally laid out my argument. I'm telling you I believe my take is accurate. It's not admitting I wasn't wrong. In this case, there's a clear difference of opinion.

What if women went on a sex strike before the midterms?


I mean, I don't see how you're getting around that. You think she's talking about bi-partisan non-fucking?

So with all the hand waving and blithering nonsense you can't point out where, in the article, it says:

"This lady argues women should go on a sex strike if their "men" don't vote for Democrats"

Shocking....Its hard for me to understand why you come here to be constantly proven wrong. Do you just enjoy being called an idiot or something?

Maybe read the article. They are talking about getting women more involved in governing instead of taking a back seat to men who hold the majority of power in the govt. It doesn't suggest its a single party issue and that women should be more assertive about what they want regardless of political party. They are misrepresented and can change that.
