Alyssa Milano must be asexual. Her idea is idiotic. She seems to think all men like sex and all women only tolerate it. Meanwhile, as we here know, there are men who use sex as a power play and there are many women with libidos who would find it a punishment to themselves if they were to go on a sex strike.

I wish there were more women like you northstarmom...thanks

This alyssa chick is, apparently, turning off her sexual persona on Friday until such time as women get bodily autonomy back.
And apparently, she expects this total shift in societal values to happen on Friday as well as she says - "I mean, I don't know," she told the AP. "I sent a tweet last night. I haven't really thought much past that this morning."
Golly. A tweet that wasn't actually thought out too well.
How astounding.

Most women are like me. They like sex. Birds of a feather however flock together which is why refusers tend to have friends who don’t like sex.

I don't think she can even fathom the unintended consequences of taking a stand like this. In fact, I believe that she hurts a woman's position by relegating them to prostitute status. It perpetuates the antiquated narrative that women only have sex with men as a concession or a bargaining chip. Reinforcing these cultural attitudes about female sexuality is damaging to the female psyche.

And to think I used to pleasure myself to a poster of Alyssa Milano when I was a kid. Many times.

So sad! I have always felt connected to her because when I was younger I was in Puerto Rico on vacation with my family and one of the guys that worked at the beach though I was her. He spread the word that she was on the beach and I was surrounded by people asking for my autograph. It was kind of hilarious and my only brush with stardom. Alas, we grew apart in looks and aparently in the desire to use sex as a power bargaining chip.

I’m thinking that maybe we should cut her some slack. Hear me out... This is Twitter... how many times have you seen posts that have not been well thought out on Twitter?? It’s quite obvious to me that she threw the comment out there without thinking it through. Her own comments attest to that. Had she written a more thorough editorial or blog post, I’d feel differently. But, I like Alyssa Milano so I’m gonna give her the benefit of the doubt until she proves otherwise. What is the saying? “This is Twitter, people!!” It is natural for those of us in a sexless marriage to be a tad bit judgmental....

She’d be pissed but that still wouldn’t make her provide the second you want — mutually pleasurable sex that comes from her sexually desiring you.

A long time ago I read about a town in the country of Columbia, I think, where the women got together to protest something to do with crime between villages. The article was written to say the women had better skills to stop the warring between tribes or villages than what the men were doing.
I don't know what the outcome was. From my understanding the ideas were all locally inspired.

I think Alyssa is trying to be an advocate for women, but sometimes she's really over the top.
I personally am not a fan of the me-too movement as it's currently construed. And sex should never be used as a weapon IMHO.
I am on Twitter a lot and I was dismayed by her statement. That said, she's upset about a bill which will make all abortions illegal in Alabama unless someone (and I'm not sure who or where you find them) will agree that your life will be in serious danger if your pregnancy is not terminated. For some of us, this conjures memories of the days when women regularly died trying to abort themselves with coat hangers because abortions were largely illegal everywhere.
There may be forum members who believe abortion should be illegal. I am not here to argue one way or another. However I do know that when it was illegal, women did die or end up making themselves unable to have children in the future with DIY abortions.
I personally follow abortion access issues very closely. Abortion opponents have succeeded in making abortion very difficult to get here in the United States, particularly in Towns and in rural areas, and for those without much money. However the Alabama Bill marks a new level of restriction that terrifies on people who do not want to go back to the past. So this is why Alyssa is over the top.
And for the record I consider myself a feminist. I am also a heterosexual, man-loving woman who knows life is not a bed of roses for men, just like it's not for most women either. I've always tried to pull my weight. I read that some men are threatened by that, but oh well.
Don't worry about Alyssa or Twitter. These are tumultuous times.

I wish there were more women like you northstarmom...thanks Actually, it isn't necessarily about more women with a high libido. As northstarmom indicated, there are women for whom a sex strike would be WTF and men who would gladly sign up for one. The key is to find someone who wants the same level and type of intimacy as you do. Unfortunately, the members of this forum do not (or did not for those of us who left) pick well in this regard. As I've found with my little ballofconfusion you only need to find one. Once you've done that (assuming monogomy is your brand of course) it matters little what the other several billion potential partners are like. As for how to find that "one"? Well that's an entirely different discussion. And it's entirely pointless until your SM is resolved one way or another.
