On Friday, feminist activist actress Alyssa Milano called for a “sex strike” to protest the State of Georgia’s new “heartbeat bill,” which bans abortion after a heartbeat is detectable, which can be as early as six weeks.

Despite widespread mockery for the ironically pro-chastity/anti-“women’s liberation” strike, Milano doubled down on Monday by co-authoring an op-ed explaining the rationale behind her latest ill-received protest movement and tweeting out warnings to women about getting “thrown in prison” because of Republicans.

A few problems with her sex strike:

-Respectfully, the vast majority of women don’t care what Samantha Micelli thinks about anything, let alone politics. Therefore, that would be a “No” on taking abstinence orders.

–Tragically stuck in a left-wing bubble, Alyssa seems to believe women are inherently pro-choice. They ain’t — see here.

–The actress has completely missed the irony: She’s raging against someone telling women what they can do with their bodies by telling women what they can do with their bodies.  Goofy

-Some women say they aren’t going back to the oppressive days of slut shaming.

-This sex strike reinforces patriarchal notions that women have sex only to please men.  

-Perhaps the best response came from The Good Men Project’s Joanna Schoeder, who downright out-woked Alyssa by a country mile:

Why a #SexStrike (Lysistrata!) is a bad idea:
1. Positions all oppressors as men (when 52% of white women voted for trump)
2. Supposes all ppl are heterosexual + part of the gender binary.
3. Perpetuates rape culture idea that men are sexual beasts & women are sexual gatekeepers.

That is what I like about most women – they think for themselves and figure it out as to what is best for themselves.  Not, what a lefty thinks!
