[@Nulono]

There are two additional problems with this particular sex strike that you didn't quite touch on. #6: People generally tend to pair up with like-minded partners, so this movement is mostly only going to inconvenience men who already agree with their female partners. You could argue that it might light a fire under some pro-choice men to be more actively political, but that then leads to the next problem. #7: This sex strike doesn't have any clearly defined endgame. It's pretty easy to say you're going on strike until a war is ended or a road is paved. But Milano's is proposing that women refuse to have sex until... what? Until these specific laws are repealed? Until no one opposes abortion anymore? Until there's an abortion clinic on every street corner? You might as well say you're going on strike until we've "solved racism"; there's just no way to define what counts as success.

[@RuleOf18Clans]

One of the worst things politics does is get people to pretend complex situations are simple. I am pro choice, but I come to that decision because I understand that some times it's necessary. I would absolutely advocate for a law where by a woman who treats abortions frivolously is subjected to some form of program the same way an abuser of alcohol or drugs may be sentenced. Abortion is a disgusting thing. It's a tragedy. It absolutely should be something women try to avoid. But the option should still exist.

[@filmandfirearms]

I fully agree, and it's why, for the longest time, I was pro choice. Now, with what so many pro choice people are doing and saying, I feel like pro life is actually the best side for me to take. Abortion should only be a last resort, but so many people, including people I once called friends, think abortion should just be another form of birth control, and that, to me, is absolutely sick. I'd rather take the side of those who think abortion should be illegal, because at least they aren't championing a horrible, albeit sometimes necessary, act

[@lopenash]

Also, do you apply the same logic to gun control? And have you actually looked at the statistics for deaths due to illegal abortions before it was legalized? The numbers are borderline negligible

[@checkmate058]

I feel you. But im on the other side and wish i wasn't TLDR Im pro life and it pains me because reasons. I understand laws dont pevent unplesnt things, and only serve to provide means to conduct a punishment. And i agreei with the notion that abortion is a moral obsenaty but also seeing that its something people do under difficult circumstances And any law on the matter would be assumeing bodily atonomy over someone and fourcing them to conduct something they dont wish to do. And our scocietys safety net for unwanted child has a high likelyhood of doing them a lot if harm. Thats why I am in great pain to say even knowing all that, an abortion is something women should be prevented from conducting.

@@napalmblaziken There is a grain of truth in almost all Greek comedy. The Clouds is a hot wash of nonsense for instance, but it does demonstrate that Greek attitudes toward pederasty/intercrural sex were negative rather than the commonly held belief that everyone though it was OK (it was, at the very least, something you could point at and mock/ridicule/laugh about). Some of the comedies are actually quite polemical in this way.

I have watched countless videos of this channel and I have continuously paid attention to every word inside those videos. I enjoy watching this channel because any argument being discussed is ALWAYS presented in a respectful and logical manner, and ALWAYS contains both sides of every argument being shown. Shame on KZbin for demonetizing just because they dislike the truth being said. Even though this video ultimately chose a side of the argument, no part of the other argument was left out, in fact it was encouraged and if encouraging and rationalizing your argument leads to it deconstructing itself, it may be because you don't have a particularly good argument.

[@matteoluca1]

Real World Endo the way you worded made it seem like he was questioning if it was effective for media coverage, so apologies for the confusion on my part. In regards to your extended argument, in my opinion, even if half the battle is raising awareness, what use is it if once people are aware all they focus on is presenting the fallacies in your argument. There’s always the argument of there’s no such thing as bad publicity I guess, but I wonder.

[@matteoluca1]

JewTube although I agree with the larger argument that, politically, sometimes an argument to the emotional rather than one grounded in logic may be more effective, I wouldn’t call it getting caught up in pointless details, that’s the whole point of this channel, to challenge arguments on their merits, failings and successes, regardless if the campaign backing it was effective or not. As in we can question the “take back control” slogan of the Brexit campaign, and present some failings in the logic behind it, however we can’t question its effectiveness. Since the Brexit campaign was ultimately successful. But improving your argumentative powers is never a bad thing in my opinion.

[@Scooter_Alice]

I believe it was Bill Burr who said something to the effect of denying sex is like "putting a chain around the fridge when you've got a sandwich in your pocket." In reference to masturbation. In layman's terms, if I can rub one out, why should I care if I don't get any? Besides, me getting sex will never be more important than my principles, so a sex strike wouldn't make me agree with you. As noble as the intentions may be, it's impractical, wouldn't work, and, as stated in the video, is more than a bit offensive to men and women alike.

[@Snaxophone]

You say the tactic doesn't work because not all women participate, but then you say in your examples it did work, because of the media attention. You neglect to consider the point that she was just doing it for media attention, which is the logical conclusion. I think most people already know the tactic isn't effective on a large scale in practicality (women not having sex), but only effective in the media it stirs up. Like this video.

[@hehehehehehehehehehe111]

I think the idea behind a sex strike is inherently sexist because it assumes that women don’t need sex and men do. I’m pro choice and so is my boyfriend, so the only thing denying him sex would do is make us both miserable.

[@cortexavery1324]

It does'nt assume that at all. But in a society where women hold few power in the governement the power of sex is proportionaly bigger for women that for men.

[@harveybeaver9731]

What if they made an abstinence strike instead?

[@Hehe-nt4oe]

Hell yeah

[@GiantRogueWave]

Another point that wasn’t really brought up is that, since there are pro-choice men, pro-choice women who withhold sex from pro-choice men are...punishing people who support their caused based only on their gender. Since intentionally withholding affection in a relationship is considered a form of abuse, pro-choice women who did this would likely anger a percentage of the pro-choice men they were with unnecessarily. In terms of political movements, intentionally pissing off your allies and causing some of them to switch sides is never a smart idea.

[@TheAtheistPerson]

[@kayaoconnell16]

Hey @Counter Arguments, I have a few thoughts/questions. Premise #1 Unanimous participation is essential. Question: When have we ever needed unanimous participation to enact policy or social change? Premise #2 Will have no effect on powerful women. Question: Dose it need to effect all powerful women or just some powerful women? Premise #3 Can only effect actions, not beliefs. Question(s): Aren't the actions, i.e. outcomes, of policies or social changes the determining factor as to weather or not they are effective? furthermore, wouldn't the embracing of social changes indicate a shift in beliefs of the population in question? Premise #4 Its an insult to both sexes. overall I tend to agree with this premise, that it is insulting to both sexes to imply that sex is a serve provided by women for men and not a mutually beneficial agreement between two consenting individuals (adults). However there dose seem to be an implication that all men are more socially conservative than women, and thus would not be ok with pro-choice legislation or social changes being enacted. Question: What responsibilities do men have to curve the need for abortions? Premise #5/conclusion: Not a smart way to protest an abortion ban It seems that this argument is framed in a way that would imply getting attention in this manner, while effective, is not what we ought to do. So what would you consider to be a smart way to protest an abortion ban, if at all? I would love to hear your thoughts on this, thank you.

[@jrAndThings]

Yet another wonderfully articulated point. Well done

[@mjsambo9418]

I only have disagreement with #3 of your points in your relation to “changing” the abortion laws vs changing of beliefs. I will say as someone who is pro-choice: the legal argument why abortion should not be illegal is that defining life in the womb by a religious metric (which applies to almost all of pro-life supporters) should be unconstitutional because it infringes on separation of church and state. Furthermore, how we define life in the womb on a legal level should be done under an objective scientific basis, not a religious one. The hope is for religiously motivated people to come to acknowledge, while it is completely okay to hold your own religious beliefs on the topic of life and abortion, your religious belief should not and cannot be applied to legislature on a topic of secular human rights. It’s not a matter of changing the persons beliefs, it’s a matter of upholding what should be constitutional law. So the strike, although it has its other issues as you pointed out, is not about changing the people’s beliefs on abortion but rather changing the law to become secular and constitutional once again. Other than that, good and interesting video.

[@somekindofname7859]

So if states change how they define life couldn't they get around R v W like I believe in Texas if u kill a person who is going to have a baby it a double murder

[@nicholasmacneil6524]

I mean.. I don't think there is a significant difference between a baby minutes before or after birth, but abortion laws in canada do. now I don't know where the line is to be drawn but I think most people can agree at the very least that "at birth" was not a time chosen after rigorous scientific study and meditation on ethics. maybe if you need to manually dismember the fetus for it to be small enough to be removed, maybe, that's too late to be anything other than murder. I may be a catholic, but I don't think that has a lot to do with my distaste for killing.

[@Retired3115]

[@twixerclawford]

There's another major problem with the strike you didn't list: it didn't seem like it had an end goal. The one about war and the one about the road did have an end goal to get, but the one here of... what? Maintaining abortion rights forever? How is that a goal that can be achieved? The best option would be for the sex strike to be until the pro-life legeslation is repealed, but there will still people attempting to take it down. Will the strike continue until there are no people who want abortion rights to be banned?

[@thecognitiverambler8911]

To compound on point# 1; the political alignments of couples tends to align. Not always, but often. So the result in this example is women denying sex to their male partners who probably already agree with them on abortion rights. It seems like the opposite of a persuasive move since, by design, it will be failing to target the people whose minds these activists would actually want to change.

[@FlapMeister]

Being conservative does not equal being pro life. The political discussion encompasses a lot of different topics. Two people who are republican can have vast differences of opinion about many topics. This is a problem of a two party system. In other words: a pro choice person may vote republican, leading to anti abortion legislation. A person may not care that this is a consequence, until his wife won't have sex with him.

[@thecognitiverambler8911]

@@FlapMeister I understand that. But my point is couples *tend* to be people of political agreement. No? Obviously this is not always true. But I imagine it often is.

[@simil-kung5610]

There is one more point you didn’t completely address: a sex strike by female pro-choice-activists will mostly affect their male partners - which, at least in most cases, probably are pro-choice themselves. Male partners of pro-live-woman are not hit by it anyway and therefore not challenged to abandon their view on the subject.

This is why people don't want prostitution being legal: the sexual marketplace becomes a free market, and when you're using sex to control, the last thing you want is competition that doesn't give a crap about your stupid cause.

[@illoney5663]

This is an overgeneralisation, I don't even know the statistics on whether this is true or not but it doesn't matter, it varies from person to person. Just because you have a relationship with two people of different gender doesn't mean that one of the genders will always be wanting sex more. Even in the same relationship it could vary, at some times one partner might be hornier, the next week it's flipped. My point is that it's not as black and white as he(and now you)make it out to be.

Paper

[@johnnyslokes89]

"restrictive abortion laws, mostly in southern states" Map comes up and i counted a lot more states (like 17? from not the south that had at least introduced or passed one chamber compared to only 8 southern states.

What’s great about this channel is that he takes no side just simply calls bullshit when he sees it

[@guul66]

but... it got media attention? so in the end it did accomplish what it was supposed to?

[@jessefletcher2365]

I doubt it. The abortion debate already had all of the attention it needed, especially since the pro-choice side is the mainstream perspective. If anything, Alyssa Milano was preaching to the choir, not gaining extra attention that wasn't there before. I highly doubt her call for sex strikes made anyone think "wow, now I suddenly for the first time in my life want to support pro-choice policies".

I don't understand how so many people skip over the fact that Kay Ivey is the WOMAN who signed the abortion bill into law! Without even formulating an opinion on abortion, I immediately lose sympathy for Prochoicers when they complain about the abortion bill being a testament to the "oppressive patriarchal system" we live in. It's such a pathetic and oversimplified notion I find myself arguing in favor of prolife even tho I'm not even entirely on the pro life train

V excited to watch this video

You were very quick to jump on decise conclusions from shallow bits of logic, but I can agree on some points

[@alexalford7874]

I think that anyone trying to do sex strikes ends up screwing things up in the bigger picture, especially if it has to do with women’s rights. The reason why is because rather than having people stop doing what they’re doing because they genuinely care, you’re instead having them stop just so they don’t miss out on sex. And, if you’re doing it for something like women’s rights, you kind of defeat there purpose by treating yourselves like objects for sex.

"The idea of the sex strike is that until women are given autonomy over their own bodies they ought to withhold access to the reproductive system from the men who are pursuing anti-abortion laws. It is an interesting theory, though one with a few obvious flaws. For one thing, the kind of women ready to stage a sex strike are unlikely to be sleeping with the kind of men who need educating in this matter." Robert Shrimsley, FT

This is why it is important to have sex robots as a backup for situations like these.

[@ararepotato1420]

I love this channel.

[@j.c.2240]

Something more effective would be if, in protest, large numbers of women left the state, got sterilized, and came back. Obviously this is very drastic and irreversible, so a lot of women wouldn't want to do something like this. But it would definitely get politicians' attention (For those that don't know, Alabama, as a state, is really against the idea of not having kids.) So removing the ability to get pregnant in the first place would be possibly the biggest incident of malicious compliance in the US. And would technically be legal, since no one left for the purpose of getting an abortion.

[@magww1]

Sounds like this needs to be a big bang episode. Cringy, awkward and just a plee for attention.

[@ketflixchill6727]

I used to yell sex before a presentation many years ago worked exactly as planned

[@bvoyelr]

100% chance this is monetized.

[@NotRealButReal]

Lmao so the sex strike is both a literal and figurative joke. Beautiful.

[@andersjohnson1317]

How better to own the conservatives than to chose abstinence!

[@kresovk5]

Congratulations on finding your style again! Even though Milano inspired this video, it certainly wasn't attack on her.

[@BerserkerAngel86]

Can you make a counter argument for "pro life" and pro choice "?
