Throughout history, women have staged sex strikes to raise awareness for important political issues. And now, a couple from Ohio is starting a campaign to get women to pledge that they won’t “date, sleep with, or canoodle with” anyone who supports GOP candidate Donald Trump. “The Greeks did it. Women during the temperance movement did it,” the Vote Trump, Get Dumped website reads. “This is a tried and true method of getting men’s attention when they’re being dumb.” The campaign’s Facebook image is of a pair of naked, crossed legs that represents what Slate is calling “political chastity.”
“To cast a vote for Trump is to agree with his sexist, perverted, demeaning, backwards, offensive treatment of women,” the website reads. Vote Trump, Get Dumped compiled a damning compilation of the worst things Trump has said about women over the years. Many of his most outrageously misogynist quotes have been made into mock-motivational posters with beautiful scenic backgrounds, including this gem: “You know, it really doesn’t matter what [the media] write, as long as you’ve got a young and beautiful piece of ass.” Viewers are asked to imagine having a president who says things like, “If Hillary Clinton can’t satisfy her husband what makes her think she can satisfy America?” As sex strikes usually go, they’re more about getting the media’s attention and raising awareness of important issues than in actually convincing men to change their minds as a result of desperate horniness. It also allows frustrated women to have a fun outlet to vent their rage.
Looking for a fun outlet yourself? No matter your politics, you can be sure we satisfy here!
