Capping off a wonderful week for the pro-life movement, which featured a six-week abortion ban in Georgia and a hugely successful pro-life rally in Philadelphia, a group of feminists decided to put the icing on the cake by making a retaliatory celibacy vow. As the leader of this movement, Alyssa Milano, explained it:
Let's leave aside, for the moment, the intellectual bankruptcy of a phrase like "reproductive rights." Nobody is trying to infringe on anyone's right to reproduce. As I explained in my speech at the rally, the child killed by abortion has already been produced. Reproduction occurs at conception. If feminists choose not to conceive, they will find no opponents to that decision among conservatives. But if they do conceive, creating a unique and separate human person in the process, they should not then be able to kill the person they conceived. Abortion is a parenting decision, not a reproductive decision. The abortive parents have chosen to kill their baby rather than care for him. The radical suggestion we pro-lifers make is that murder is not an acceptable childcare technique.

In any case, though I take issue with the way this abstinence pledge is framed, I fully support the pledge itself. For one thing, it's no skin off my nose. My wife, praise God, is not a feminist. As a general rule, conservative men are not looking to date or marry hectoring feminists scolds. As we are choosing from an entirely different pool of potential mates, a sex boycott among the precise sorts of women we are determined to avoid does not cause us any real pain. A sex strike among feminists is, to us, like a kale shortage at the local vegan restaurant. Ironically, only the pro-abortion men, who have already sacrificed their man cards and their souls in submission to their feminist overlords, are being punished here. And it's a punishment they well deserve, even if it wasn't intended for them.
More to the point, Milano is finally conceding to an argument we've been making for decades. She says that women should avoid sex because they "cannot risk pregnancy," thus admitting two crucial points: 1) Sex is a procreative act. 2) If you aren't in an ideal position to procreate, you shouldn't engage in said procreative act. Put another way: sex makes babies. Don't want baby? Don't have sex. It shouldn't have taken feminists 60 years to have this epiphany, but better late than never.
It seems we now agree. The best way to avoid an unwanted pregnancy is to avoid sex. There are other methods, but none as effective, simple, and cheap as the newly feminist-endorsed method of abstinence. The advantage of saving sex for marriage is that marriage creates the ideal context for conceiving human life — whether or not the conception is intended. Indeed, married couples conceive unintentionally all the time, yet almost all of the women who get abortions are single. Why is that? Because a married couple is automatically going to be far more prepared to welcome a new baby into the world than an unmarried person. So, wait for marriage to have sex and you won't have to worry about the abortion laws. It's a simple strategy, really. I'm thrilled that Alyssa Milano and her friends are starting to see the wisdom in it.
Makes zero difference. Conservative men dont want to have sex with libtard “women”.
Secretly plently of libtard men are grateful for the sex strike.
My entire adult life I have refused to have sex with feminist women.
OTOH...
That may be why feminist women are frustrated to the point of complete moonbattery.

More to the point the woman who made this utterance is just reinforcing stereotypes.
So do I. The longer the strike, the older these feminists get and the less children they will have.
Not to mention that will be less children being aborted.
I had sex once. Was kind of fun, I guess
Anything that cuts down on the chances of there being more Alyssa Milanos in this world is fine with me.....
There was a time I would have been disappointed that Alissa Milano wouldn’t have sex with me. Now, not so much.
“There was a time I would have been disappointed that Alissa Milano wouldn’t have sex with me. Now, not so much.”
I guess if she never said a word before, during or after it would be ok.
Never have particularly cared for fake boobs though.
As far as I know they’ve all been on strike as far back as I can remember.
“In any case, though I take issue with the way this abstinence pledge is framed, I fully support the pledge itself.”
Agreed.
Abstinence is the default pro-life position. Babies are not supposed to be a burden forced upon women; they are supposed to be blessing that reinforce the bond of a married couple (ideally the biological parents).
For years the left has said that abstinence education does not work. But it does and it has. Now they are actually trying to implement it in an ironic sort of way.
“A sex strike among feminists is, to us, like a kale shortage at the local vegan restaurant. “

ROTFLMAO !!!
Great commentary here!
Milano and others are misandrists not feminists.
Feminists want women to not be exploited and want women to get equal opportunities as men.
Misandrists hate men.
Men who wear women’s jeans most affected.
Regardless, Alyssa is not Lysistrata.
In other words: Abstinence until marriage. Lmao - how “radical.”
They have sex with men? Who are these alleged men? How thirsty and supplicating does a man need to be to have anything to do with a feminist woman?
