Working in East Africa a few years ago...

...I was working with a Ugandan male, he was in a senior position. They have a lot of gender discrimination issues in Africa. He made a very simple proposal:

"Wives should tell their husbands: No sex, one, two, three months, until attitudes change. No sex."

Interesting proposal...

(He was a difficult egomaniac nonetheless, I would never have recommended him, but this proposal does seem interesting... )

5. Well, yes but, she rallies her women and goes back to the fight.

Your point being?

6. As I recall, there was resistance for the plan from the women

At least one of them left. So the OP assumes that women are going to be able to be celibate for three months as though they don't have needs.

I wasn't commenting so much on your post as I was on how the plan lacks consideration of women's will power. Aristophanes took that dimension on board when he wrote the play.
