Close your legs to men.

If they weren't getting any, we wouldn't have this problem. I'm tired of all this crap we're dealing with now.

GOTV in November. Vote all Repubs out of office. Biden is doing a good job for us. Let's not get distracted by their treachery.

Of course women enjoy sex. But, women don't have to put up with the chattel aspects of their being. Men don't, and neither do women. Interesting how this argument about "women also like to have sex" is always the first, and possibly only, argument a guy has to refute the plain fact that a woman can hold out longer than a man. An egocentric argument that really won't work.

Aristophanes great comic play deals withy the women of Athens trying to stop the men from endless warfare. They cut the penises off the Hermes statues that were erected as road signs, put the men on notice and banished them from their beds.

Are liberal women really dating/married/sleeping with conservative men enough to impact conservative votes?

And as another pointed out, women enjoy sex as much as men do.

Full disclosure: I'm a man.
I'm pretty sure (not positive because her choice and all) my wife would not be interested in withholding sex from me based on political views of other folks (mostly men she isn't sleeping with).

Mid-life crisis.

Why can’t they merely buy a red sports car like every normal person?

I humbly suggest a proactive approach by going after the-sex-is-for-reproduction-only crowd. That’s where this is all leading and it would be effective to get out in front of what hasn’t been said yet.

Unfortunately the concept of withholding sex only plays in their favor.

This is not a sex issue. At all.

And "close your legs to men" wtaf. So gross and demeaning to women to say that.

and choices of life partners. Most men who want to criminalize abortion are married to women who feel the same way, and vice versa. Any benefit from closing knees would have to be THEIR knees to limit THEIR reproduction.

He really doesn't deserve this attitude, and I think you should delete this post.

Many millions of American men, not just him, believe in equal rights for women. They also believe in men's own reproductive right to choose. It should be extremely obvious that men, and their sons, not just daughters, would also be big victims of this prospective ruling in a variety of ways.

Btw, all the legal rights women have were secured by women and men working together to make them happen. NONE by women alone.

Wherein people suddenly adopt the verbiage, imagery, and sexism of fundamentalist Christian scolds who perpetually put the onus on women in sexual matters.

Stop that stupid shit right fucking now! They're a misogynistic jerk and you can do better!

But if you're getting down with someone who supports your right to choose and respects your right to have privacy and autonomy over your own body, what good would this do?
