Nice logical fallacy, canpakes. Hope your man doesn't pay for your meal, and don't forget to vote for Romney or some other Republican today!

You're right I'd be all over it. I'd agree with him, because it's patently obvious that Fox News is a propaganda arm for Conservatives, and the article would be a thinly veiled attempt to motivate men to vote Conservative.

Why am I unable to find this article anywhere on the web, or FOX?

If you want to argue that Dog's original posted article is "a thinly veiled attempt" to nudge voters, that's one thing. For him to title his thread "Sex Strike for Democrats!" and assert that "This lady argues women should go on a sex strike if their 'men' don't vote for Democrats," is another.

The second approach is more than a little disingenuous.

I'm still struggling with how somebody could think a strike for making sex more female-pleasure-centric could really mean a strike to make men vote for Democrats. For these guys, is "service sex" something that is always imagined to be done while the Sean Hannity Show is playing in the background? Or do they think female-pleasure-centric sex means role playing that the woman is Nancy Pelosi and the man is voting for her? Something else? I can't help but think this has something to do with inceldom.

Cheap shots aside, the real dig on men in the article is that we are boring in bed--we just need enough foreplay to get an erection, then we do it, get our release, and roll over and go to sleep. The implication from the article is that if women went on strike to refuse to have mundane sex and instead demanded more sex filled with the novelty and adventure women actually crave, that might expand our minds and make society more open to powerful women and their views in the workplace, in the boardroom, and in politics. The assertion that female-pleasure-centric sex would lead to more power for women in business and in politics is incredibly speculative. But the assertion is not a veiled call for women to stop putting out unless Democrats are elected.

I'm probably the only one who finds it hilarious that Dog interpreted an article about making the satisfaction of ones female partner a priority in sex as a threat to withhold sex completely.

This is just another thread about his unhealthy sex life.

Analytics, I agree. I think your reading of the article is spot on.

In their defense, I don't think Water Dog or Cam looked beyond the photo of Pelosi and the click bait of a headline when they first responded. Their mistake was to dig themselves in after they were called out.

I read the article and watched the video. But whatever. You can pretend CNN isn't a propaganda arm for the Democratic party just like, I dunno, someone might see this:

‘Sean Hannity, come on up’: Trump fawns over Fox News in final rally. ‘They’ve done an incredible job for us.’


And think Fox News is fair and balanced.
