"Those engaging in a sex strike (historically, most often women) collectively abstain from sexual intimacy with their partners to pressure the opposing party – typically men in positions of power or combatants in a conflict – to comply with a desired change."

Noted. I shall continue not sleeping with men, conservative or otherwise.

Truthfully I'm not sure sure you can make it much worse for them. As I understand it conservative single men are already struggling to find dates. Wasn't there some conservative dating app that had basically no women?

I'm abstaining from sex with women cause all the women that want to have sex with me do me WRONG bro

[–] RainaLillius@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm a woman, and have exclusive been with other women. I haven't had any issues but we probably don't have much overlap in our dating pools.

Idk. Probably more overlap than you think. I mostly attract bi girls. I genuinely think part of it is that in relationships, abusive behavior toward men is a lot less stigmatized than it is against women. I had to explain to my ex that putting her hands on my neck and preventing me from leaving her apartment is still abuse even though I'm male.

Aah, you're getting with the crazy ones. Honestly don't know if I'm just lucky or a good judge of character. Maybe I'm just old...

People can hide who they are for a really long time.

Who would sleep with a conservative? I feel like the set of people who would sleep with conservatives doesn't overlap with the set of people who would be interested in this strike.

Somebody is fucking them. Grindr blows up every time and place the Republicans hold a national convention.

Both men and women are driven by irrational desires; lust is often based in physical appearance, or some other arbitrary attribute of attractiveness. I once new a girl who liked guys who stank of BO.

Just as it's not rational to tell a woman she shouldn't be attracted to other women, it's irrational to expect anyone to be entirely logical about who they want to fuck. If it were, people who serially get into abusive relationships, wouldn't.

That doesn't really conflict with what they said though. Someone whose desires overrule their values in the first place probably isn't going to be interested in suppressing their desires to push their values.

True enough! I was mainly reacting to the rhetorical opening question.
