I am not talking about withholding sex. That is absolutely not the point I’m making here.

My conclusion to not sleep with men is mostly satirical. The horror of it is that the conclusion is logical in light of what is happening.

But that’s all I’m talking about: logic. It doesn’t make sense for us to take the risk of having sex with men under these conditions. I’m not actually saying not to (again, that statement is satirical), but it bears noting that this is too risky for women. Period.

It’s not about withholding, it’s not about manipulation, it’s not about political strategy, it’s not about punishment… I would never use my body as a bargaining chip or suggest other women do the same. That diminishes our humanity.
