Thanks, Salon staff, for creating Broadsheet. Very valuable stuff that the mostly main-stream male-dominated "penis press" won't bother to cover. Now on to the matter of the moment: the Alito nomination. Clearly Alito is a sop to the radical religous right and clearly, as leading women's groups have said, his nomination poses a danger to the health and safety of women everywhere.
Senate Republicans need vote to "NO!" on this jerk, and I have a radical proposal for making sure they do so (actually, it's not so radical, it dates back to the ancient Greeks). Here's my proposal: all women of America who are pro-choice and who have "pro-life" husbands/boyfriends need to refuse sex to their men. That's right; no sex for the ideological right-wingers until they agree to vote "NO!" on Alito.
I know this is rather a drastic idea; and somewhat politically incorrect coming from a man. But I know men; and I know that if women unite in public and refuse to have sex with their Republican-minded men, the men will cave; I'm certain of it. Besides, the media frenzy around it will keep the issue front and center. Women of America, you have the power, join together and use it to defeat Alito!
