If you cannot beat them, join them. So say some young women after President-elect Donald Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris.
Not that they are joining Republicans in support of Trump. Quite the opposite: These women are protesting the election outcome by abstaining from sex or, really, from any relations with men. As often happens, leftist women feel threatened by the male-led political regime and view sex as the ultimate leveler. They undertook a “sex strike” after the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022 and have revived it after Election Day 2024, though clearly, the issue caused them some unrest before and in between either of those events.
