Can men do this too?
As long-time participants in this news group know, I have
frequently expressed the view that current inequities in family law will never be removed until men find some way of exercising effective political clout on behalf of their own sex. The problem has always been to get men organized in matters where their interests conflict with those of women. A new development in Italy suggests one possible answer that can be adopted by individual men -- see the news story below. Men must threaten to withhold sex until their female partners sign up to support of family law reforms. That would work, wouldn't it? In honor of the Italian origins of this tactic, I suggest we get it going by next Columbus Day. "No copulation without ending anti-male discrimination" is the best I've come up with so far as a bumper sticker for the new movement. (However, we've got some time before next Columbus Day, and I'm open to alternative slogans that scan better.) Some women threaten no sex if men shoot fireworks ROME 12/31/2008 12:23:34 PM Some women in Naples said they won't make love if their men shoot off dangerous fireworks on New Year's Eve. "Se Spari, Niente Sesso" (If you shoot, no sex), as the reported group calls itself, claims to have signed up hundreds of women in the Naples area to combat celebrations that injure or maim hundreds each year. Carolina Staiano, a mother of two, was quoted in La Stampa daily on Wednesday as saying she was inspired to create the group because her father was partially paralyzed in a fireworks accident. Setting off fireworks, often homemade or illegally imported, remains popular in Italy and especially in Naples, even though accidents are frequent and sometimes deadly. Staiano said that "there are other ways to celebrate." And if men don't get the message, women should "send them to sleep on the couch." |

There's a lot of stupidity in the World, how about, "Morons are not allowed to reproduce"? |
