Donald Trump's support has only grown in the face of near-constant controversy, jaw-dropping gaffes and unrestrained displays of violence and racism at his rallies.
But now a group of women is trying a new tactic to derail the GOP frontrunner — to swear off sleeping with or dating any man who supports Trump.
The "Vote Trump, Get Dumped" movement invites women opposed to Trump to "Join us by wielding your influence."
"Until Trump is defeated, we don't date, sleep with, or canoodle with Trump supporters," a manifesto on its website reads.
Supporters are encouraged to post memes on social media of controversial things Trump has said about or to women, and to change their profile pictures to ones showing off their crossed fingers to signal they're offering "no access" to their bodies. The movement takes inspiration from the "sex strikes" in the ancient Greek play Lysistrata, in which the female characters withheld sex from their husbands in an effort to end the Peloponnesian War.
Personally I don't even understand why there has to be an official movement, just the idea of sleeping with somebody who would support that misogynist POS should make women's legs snap together like a bear trap all by themselves.
And though as a man I don't typically support any idea that restricts access to sex, I am behind this one a thousand percent.
They are going to Lysisistrata Trump supporters! Hahahaha!
ReplyDeleteSorry - should be Lysistrata
DeleteI've seen plenty of horrible women out there as full throated Trump supporters. And I'm talking about more than Sarah and Bristol.
DeleteAs a woman, I am against using sex as leverage. I think it demeans us, making our lady parts our only commodity in power struggles with men.
ReplyDeleteIf you are that passionate against Trump, fight the good fight, use your brain, not your vagina. Or dump the idiot for an intelligent man, if it is that big of an obstacle in your relationship.
Spot on! How silly; it's enough that GOP male "leaders" are inserting themselves into a woman's right to her own body and reproductive choices that are only hers to make. Now this group comes along and solidifies the false premise that all a woman has to fight with is her vagina?
DeleteWell said, 9:13am.
DeleteDid you read the slogan? Dump the idiot for an intelligent man is the premise. Anyway, why are you offended, it doesn't really apply to most of IM readers since the majority are old, not exactly dripping in sex appeal lmao!
DeleteWow, 10:14! Way to equate beauty with worth, so very Trumpish of you. And did you read beyond the slogan?
DeleteI am the original poster, married 40 years and I still don't pick up a dropped fork, if my husband is watching! Not only are you shallow, you are also stupid!
Troll alert! 10:14 is probably MJ and he is hoping he can get a bunch of older IM women to share the details of their sex lives, so he can fap to the images. He knows c4p is the sexual Sahara.
DeleteI agree. Trump will not go in my bedroom.
DeleteMarried 40 years, you and most of the ladies on here are not out there dating so why are you offended that young women would refuse to have sex with Trump supporters? yeah guys, you look up to and would vote for that orange jerk, you don't get to touch this. Doesn't mean I think my only value is my vagina. And why wouldn't you pick up a fork if your husband is watching? he's seen you naked (though you sound frigid and prudish, so who knows) why can't he see you bent over? Poor man lol.
DeleteMJS is the ultimate "my shit doesn't stink" blowhard. I wonder if his gofundme page even has a penny in it yet.
Delete10:47, you realize the idea wasn't just to deny sex to dates, one night stands or new boyfriends, right? I failed to see the target age mentioned and figured any woman who is still sexually active was included. My original post was not geared at any specific age, just a general comment that holds true to all women-don't use sex as a weapon. You are very naive if you think my bending over comment has anything to do with having seen me naked. Dense.
DeleteYou seem to want to insult and fight with IMers. You are silly, childish person and have a lot to learn. Don't bother to respond, I have to go play "hide the Easter egg" with my boring old husband.
Sometimes you have to speak on a language that can be understood.
DeleteIn which case I ask what are you doing with a misogynist asshole who only values you as a free whore.

Journalists, which include bloggers, should fear Trump. Trump likes Putin's approach, particularly to journalists.
ReplyDeleteTrump so scares me. His blatant threats and vindictiveness are stunning. If he wins, Oh Canada!!
We must protect our children, particularly children of color. His followers beat women and homeless people of color. What chance do our children have in this kind of environment?

ReplyDeleteActually, this is really stupid. It's like asking terrorists at the border if they're radicalized. They'd just lie about it. Hmmm, would any man lie to a woman about something, anything in order to get sex?! Duh!
ReplyDeleteReally? You don't know your significant others political leanings?
DeletePersonally I always have, I am proud to say I have never dated a republican.
A guy I've known for years had a conversation with me about a month ago, where he brought up the conversation of Donald Trump. We dumped each other!!! Haha!
ReplyDeleteHe's very pro Trump and I'm completely the opposite. Obviously interesting to say the least! If nothing else, it made me question my choice of long-time friends!
My husband is an ardent republican. The only way I got through to him was by showing him Trump's belief 're Iraqi war and how Trump shoved it in the face of veterans. As a VN vet, it really hit home to him. I am a Liberal.
DeleteSorry Gryphen, but sex with women isn't a given. Woman have the right to restrict access to anyone they chose, to date anyone they chose to or not, to stay marred to someone or not.
ReplyDeleteAs one firmly planted in menopause, my vagina was fun while it lasted (LOL), NEVER defined me as a person, but I also got this little thing called an "education" and made something of myself.
ReplyDeleteThat's the thing with women like this, Bristol Palin being poster child. All they have is their vagina to "wield power," which is downright pathetic when you think about it.
Withholding sex to get your way is a sure way to end up with a straying partner. Sex should not be used as a bargaining tool, unless you are a sex worker.
ReplyDeleteI am not justifying infidelity, just being realistic.
Being with someone who doesn't share your core factors is a reason to dump someone.
DeleteI agree; I think this is not meant for couples in an established relationship, but rather for women in the dating scene. I would never date a Trump supporter for obvious reasons.
Deleteit is on>

I seriously did this Friday night,though he was a Kasich supporter. Came out with these wretched anti Muslim views and we were done. Hate does not get me in the mood for love.
ReplyDeleteGo marry a muslim and get back to us.
Delete12:05 PM Go marry an Evangelical Christian Terrorist,anti-women's rights, anti-abortion, anti-LGBT, gun-loving bigot, and get back to us.
Deletelol. You go marry a muslim too 12:27 and get back to us, if he allows it and you aren't honor killed.
DeleteI'll take an evangelical nutjob any day over the muslim nutjobs. I don't worry about the evangelivcals, you probably don't either, but you would cut off your nose to spite your face like a dumb lib wouldn't you?
What the h? 2:32 stop the prejudice!
DeleteAnd what then, 6:52, do you say to 12:27's prejudices?
DeleteIf those are my choices I think I'll marry an athiest.
DeleteStupid movement by stupid women who probably aren't getting any anyways because they are too annoying to even bother with.
ReplyDelete12:07 PM Says the masturbater-in-chief.
DeleteI think posts here are bragging way too much about all the shrinky books they’ve read over the years. Okay, so we know what therapists say about withholding sex with a real partner and how to communicate. But in the case of misogynist Trump, I find it a perfectly targeted way to get something important across to males who see nothing wrong with Trump’s behavior or who even laugh it off as no big deal and is funny and women should just chillax. Some guys can be pretty dense when it comes to realizing that something or someone is harmful to females. I stand with G on this post. And people should try reading more online before assuming this new organization is made up of women who are not attractive and getting any (geez, you sound like the people I hear saying that all lesbians are lesbians because they’re ugly and guys don’t want them), etc. I wholeheartedly agree with the husband and wife team at the organization's site who say that what they're proposing is "a tried and true method of getting men's attention when they're being dumb."
ReplyDeleteSo some women say they are not going to date jerks.
ReplyDeleteFrankly, women rarely follow through on that goal.
Also: Even if Trump loses either the nomination or the general, his supporters will still be jerks.
HEH

Unfortunately for a lot of women in this country withholding sex will get you raped or physically abused, even in upper middle class homes, believe it or not.
ReplyDeleteI'd suggest that women don't use this tactic as it could be detrimental to their health and well being.
I have met many women for whom it is better to "go along to get along" as they know what the results would be when acting in the contrary.
While this "using sex as a weapon" thing isn't my cup of tea, I can clearly see what Gryphen's conveying, and I can't agree more. But here's the thing, I can't imagine myself falling for Donald at all. There's not one socially redeeming value, no intellect to speak of, and everything about him repulses me. Now my choice is one that Italian Women learn from a young age. Triple the time on the pasta box and serve it to your husband, day in, day out. He'll get the message, you'll get flowers and jewelry, and perhaps he'll get rewarded..... if he apologizes. The way to a man's heart is through the ribs with a high rpm sterile circular saw. /s
ReplyDeleteAll kidding aside, there's nothing better than make up sex, jmo
