Then let us give them exactly what they want.
A women's strike. We all think we are pregnant and we stay home from our lousy jobs for a week, or even better, a month!
And we tell these people that we have had enough and it won't be business as usual until we have sane gun control policies and totally unrestricted access to contraception and abortion in every state.
I could never organize something like this but I would love to see it. We are sick and tired of being intimidated and watching our right erode before our eyes.

But I'd also join such a strike. My "sane" gun control is probably a fair bit less extreme than many here, but I do support many measures. And anything other than open access to abortion is unacceptable.
I mean "to the fucking barricades" unacceptable. I'd rather die than see a return to the coat hanger days.

Yes, And I would rather die or go to jail than subject my sisters to back alley abortions.

Maybe if we launched a nationwide sex strike until the pukes back off from their war on women and agree to common sense gun safety rules, maybe then the guys would get the message that women's right are not to be messed with.

I work with so many cool and liberal young women who have these RW nut-job boyfriends.
A nationwide sex strike is an excellent idea. Maybe they would, finally, get it.
