The article requires a reader to divulge e-mail but Red Dreher has taken one for the team. Money quote:
But the sex-positive gaze, unmoored from Williss call to ambivalence, threatens to neutralise these facts, treating them as pre-political givens. In other words, the sex-positive gaze risks covering not only for misogyny, but for racism, ableism, transphobia, and every other oppressive system that makes its way into the bedroom through the seemingly innocuous mechanism of personal preference.
Personal preferences regarding dating and what to hit is a political statement too. This seems to be growing movement. For example, transphobia being charged against heteros refusing to sleep the the T in LGBT

There are wives who puposely deny their spouse sex.
There are women who weaponize sex and the word “no”.
It doesn’t validate any action against the aggressor.

How can a right force another party to provide a service?

"There are wives who purposely deny their spouse sex.
There are women who weaponize sex and the word no."
I wouldn't want a friend like that let alone a wife.

A right does not require consent and consent does not make right.

A prominent homosexual advocate has already insinuated that an ideological opponent of his should be b^tt raped.
So, yes, the sexual anarchy lobby does believe in the “right to have sex.”

It’s quite simple, really. The exercise of a right does not involve potentially, or actually, compelling another individual to do something for you or give something to you. So no, no one has a right to sex.

Yes, he had a right to sex. Or a left, depending on which hand he preferred.
