CUTTING THE MEN OFF...
Kenyan Women Withhold Sex over Political Fighting!
Women's activist groups across Kenya have placed a weeklong sex embargo on their partners in protest over political infighting.
The groups are also paying off prostitutes to walk off the job, so fuhgeddaboudit, guys.
This is like a real-life version of Aristophanes' Lysistrata, in which the eponymous heroine seeks to end the Peloponnesian War by putting the ixnay on nookie throughout Athens, pointing out the nuances of power balance in a male-dominated society.
Aristophanes brought out the serious lowbrow for this one, presenting his fellow ancient Greeks with the equivalent of Two and a Half Men.
The campaigners are asking the wives of the Kenyan president and the prime minister to join in the embargo.
They say they want to avoid a repeat of the violence which convulsed the country after the late-2007 elections.
