women's reproductive rights why sleep with them?
If only progressives had happy sex lives it could start a trend to the left.

(50 posts)as a man who has fought for women's rights since the 60s, I think the OP is only suggesting a political tactic that women can use not telling women what to do.

(47,209 posts)Its time for suggestions for more ways for men to step up- and leave the bedroom out of it.
This suggestion is akin to using women as a commodity.
Sorry guys- work harder instead of trying to steer our sex lives.

(50 posts)Can you give us men a suggestion of what we can do besides just protesting and voting?
bettyellen
(47,209 posts)That are more helpful than policing womens sexuality lives.
If you really must, go hunt down some men who are having sex w conservatives and bother them. Sounds weird, right? Because it is!

(50 posts)won't stop Trump and the Rumpublicans from getting another conservative on the SC.
What are some of the tons of other options you mentioned?
BTW, since women are human beings and men are human beings, I see nothing wrong with a human being who is a male suggesting to a human being who is a female what that female can do to help the cause which they both support.

(47,209 posts)None of us want the advice of feckless dudes who pose as allies and then do nothing when we need you most.
Shame on you.
cooldude
(50 posts)You are the one who should be ashamed of yourself because you blasted the OP just because he dared to suggest how women might be able to help the cause.
The last time I looked, men were human beings and women were human beings and there is nothing wrong with one human being who happens to be a male suggesting to other human beings who happen to be females how they can help the cause.
Maybe if you realize that the next time a male suggests something that you can do to help the cause then you won't react so irrationally.
bettyellen
(47,209 posts)Should have sex with- and you claim thats helpful? Its not, its lazy, presumptuous and probably self serving.
Its not helping, literally not helping to suggest shit to women.

(17,865 posts)Young Trump staffers are complaining they can't date in DC because everyone hates them
Young Trump administration staffers are having a hard time dating in Washington, one of the most Democratic cities in the country.
Even after leaving their administration jobs, former staffers are finding themselves on something of a social blacklist.
One match on an online dating app told an administration official, "Thanks but no thanks. Just Googled you and it said you were a mouthpiece for the Trump administration. Go f--- yourself."

A dating website promising to match pro-Trump supporters has removed the main photograph from its homepage after local media identified one of the people portrayed in the image as a North Carolina conservative activist who has a child sex conviction.

Just saying.
anyway, there are quite a lot of inexplicably "conservative" women out there, who will be happy as hell to have their own and all other women's rights taken away.

Trump followers simply do not value freedom, it's antiquated to them, they value order and power above freedom.

(37,748 posts)Last year, I came across the phrase "conservative men want women's bodies as private property while liberal men want them as public property..." (insert obligatory "NOT ALL MEN!!!!" so as to avoid the stronger wash cycles for the delicates)
I'll be damned if it didn't piss me off then, and I'll be even more damned if it doesn't seem to be the case now.
bettyellen
(47,209 posts)these intrusive and very personal suggestions... Id still be offended.
Men- you guys have a lot of calls to make and protests to attend. And keep your opinions about our sex lives to yourselves, we get this crap from everyone.

(1,549 posts)... having lots of sex with conservative men?
I agree they should stop it, especially if they exist.

(32,097 posts)There isn't a conservative man on the planet that I would touch with a ten-foot pole, let alone have sex with them. I'm sure most other "leftist" women feel the same way.

Many of the most vocal Trumpers and pro-lifers are women.. they are complicit agents of white hegemony, not victims, who want a 'white alpha male' to protect them, and vote accordingly.
