Ancient Greece[edit]

The purpose of the 'sex strike' in the play was not a protest for the sole purpose of preserving peace, wasn't even a politically driven movement as a matter of fact (although dealing with political struggles at the time). The purpose was simply to end the war so that their husbands and lovers would come home to them and spend more time with them. The movement was fueled from a desire for the attention of their lovers. It seems the information on this page is spinning and altering the plot to fit or encourage a political narrative. Mysticalresearch (talk) 01:03, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Neutrality[edit]

...a strike in which one or more persons (usually women) refrain...

The above is a controversial statement that lacks neutral point of view per WP:NPOV.

"usually women" sounds derogatory, and seems like it was worded by editor(s) who have misunderstandings, or are purposely involved in sexism.

Many readers would be surprised by this statement, but the article text should not surprise them as per WP:PLA.

Many readers would not agree with this statement and would leave without reading, which defeats the purpose of this article.

I suggest that reliable sources be found for this statement, and then it can be further explained with neutral points of view. —CrafterNova ^{[ TALK ] [ CONT ]} 14:05, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

“Criticism” Section[edit]

A section covering common criticisms of sex strikes should be added. Some have posited that sex strikes imply and reinforce the stereotype that women only engage in sexual activity in order to please their male partners. Recently, in the United States, there has been criticism of calls for a sex strike over the reversal of Roe v. Wade, as some have retorted that the social conservatives who championed the reversal also advocate against sex except when it is intended to induce pregnancy.

Add Section 2.8: Reproductive Rights in the United States[edit]

In 2022, in opposition to Dobbs v.
