(9,988 posts)31. But that's exactly the problem with it.
If I refused to have sex with rightwing, misogynist men....it would have no effect at all, because I do that ANYWAY. It would be like if I "boycotted" licorice for some political reason--I can't stand the stuff and never buy it to begin with, so who'd notice?
Aren't the majority of people in relationships with people who share their core values in some way? I'd certainly think that probably most people on DU are.
I also agree with those who say that withholding sex, used as a weapon, plays into some really gross stereotypes that are misogynist in and of themselves.

Certainly not! Our husbands, partners, lovers who support us in this - are all exempt.

That still wouldn't remove the option of renting or toe tapping in public restrooms

I think these bills are about as overreaching as you can get without actually being in the bedroom.
