CNN op-ed suggests ‘sex strike’ before midterms to help Democrats
Conservative Firing Line ^ | 11/3/2018 | Joe Newby

Posted on 11/03/2018 7:34:47 PM PDT by Beave Meister

This is CNN… On Friday, the outlet once dubbed the “least-trusted” name in network news for its rabid anti-Trump and anti-Republican bias, published an op-ed suggesting that women engage in a “sex strike” before the midterm election, no doubt to help Democrats.

“It’s time for a revolution,” wrote Wednesday Martin. “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.”

Translation: Withhold sex to help Democrats.

I can’t imagine the crap you’d catch from sleeping with a left wing scag. This will make sex better again.

President Trump could troll this by suggesting that INS issue an emergency 7-day visa program for Russian and Ukrainian single young women

These people sound like grade school kids. It’s as if most of these Democrats have arrested development. It’s like their emotional maturity stopped at around age 12. Bizarre.

From what I’ve seen of the usual ComDem women, many of them have nothing to withhold. Nobody will touch them.

I’m reading this thread for the humor. So far, so good. Liberalism is a mental disease. Apparently, many Americans have become infected.

Yes, whenever I am pleasuring a willing woman, I am always thinking about her dominant political philosophy.

“...that women engage in a “sex strike” before the midterm election, no doubt to help Democrats...”

CNN doesn’t even understand what makes up the Democrat Party demographic... And I really don’t want to go into a whole lot of detail on that, but I’m sure you get my drift.

"a bold, timely reconsideration of female infidelity that will upend everything you thought you knew about women..."

Untrue: Why Nearly Everything We Believe About Women, Lust, and Infidelity Is Wrong and How the New Science Can Set Us Free
Hardcover – September 18, 2018
by Wednesday Martin (Author)

What do straight, married female revelers at an all-women's sex club in LA have in common with nomadic pastoralists in Namibia who bear children by men not their husbands? Like women worldwide, they crave sexual variety, novelty, and excitement.

In ancient Greek tragedies, Netflix series, tabloids and pop songs, we've long portrayed such cheating women as dangerous and damaged. We love to hate women who are untrue. But who are they really? And why, in this age of female empowerment, do we continue to judge them so harshly? In Untrue, feminist author and cultural critic Wednesday Martin takes us on a bold, fascinating journey to reveal the unexpected evolutionary legacy and social realities that drive female faithlessness, while laying bare our motivations to contain women who step out.

Blending accessible social science and interviews with sex researchers, anthropologists, and real women from all walks of life, Untrue challenges our deepest assumptions about ourselves, monogamy, and the women we think we know. From recent data suggesting women may struggle more than men with sexual exclusivity to the revolutionary idea that females of many species evolved to be "promiscuous" to Martin's trenchant assertion that female sexual autonomy is the ultimate metric of gender equality, Untrue will change the way you think about women and sex forever. - AMAZON.COM

Wendy “Wednesday” Martin is an American author and cultural critic who writes and serves as a commentator on topics like parenting, step-parenting, female sexuality, motherhood, and popular culture. She is the author of five books.

I find it interesting that after she would try to establish herself as an expert on parenting, she would recommend this.

By definition, to punish is to deliberately make someone suffer — either because a primitive version of justice seems to demand it (If you do something bad, then something bad must be done to you) or because it’s assumed that punishment will teach you a lesson. The premise here is that when we make you unhappy by forcing you to do something you find aversive, or by preventing you from doing something you enjoy, you’ll become a better person.

Many people like to pretend it’s not really punishment if they can portray what they’re doing as “logical” or “natural”; you acknowledge candidly that at its core it’s really about power. And that in itself is a good reason to avoid it. But power-based interactions between adults — such as punishment — fundamentally disrupt trust and any sort of caring alliance.

Punishment can never achieve anything but temporary, resentful compliance — and it generates significant problems in the bargain. It doesn’t make the world safer. The wrongdoer doesn’t become a better person — just cleverer about avoiding detection. In fact, it may even make all the others around us, the ones in whose name we’re allegedly taking disciplinary action, feel uneasy because we’re saying, “All of you are members of this community only conditionally. You, too, could be ejected.”

Is that the way to settle a question as an adult? And how long before the relationship collapses? Is your right the only answer? You’ll never know before it is too late. And it has little to do with your feelings at that point. It is the feelings of the oppressed, not the punisher, that means anything in the stability of the relationship after you have established your position. You’ve stepped off the cliff and the roles have reversed. You have to prove you are not bad and won’t do it again. And then who’s oppressed? Time to grow up children.
