'Women say no sex until their demands are met'

"Women in the small town of Barbacaos* in southwest Colombia have been sleeping on the sofa for the past few days."

They say they've stopped having sex with their significant others in protest of what they say is the terrible condition of the road that connects their small, isolated town to the rest of Colombia, says reporter John Otis in Colombia."

[T]he women say the conditions of that road is so bad that it takes them 12 to 14 hours to get to the nearest hospital. Otis says even pregnant women have died in the back of ambulances, trying to get to a hospital to give birth."

That's why they've gone on a sex strike, dubbed the "crossed legs movement."

This time it seems that members of the "crossed legs movement" are actually getting results."

Otis says he's seen pictures of bulldozers and heavy machinery on the road, starting repairs."

PRI , * Barbacaos Colombia is yet to be mapped by Google.

Was anyone asking them to?

I mean, I can refuse sex all day, yet no road is fixed.

In other news, Colombian goats have been sporting broad smiles this week ...

That tactic won't work in Japan.

I did not notice HGTV until mentioned here, and now I do notice, stop awhile and linger. It's hard to take sometimes.

The show is about: fix this place up finally or move, so two teams work in opposition.

It's edited this way, but lived this way too, it reflects what is lived. The woman points out what is wrong, points out how each project is 90% completed, he's the 90% guy, after six years the dream house is project, project, project, project, problem here, problem there, problem here, no organization there, nothing was done here. Point for point the shortcomings of the home are covered, wife living in chaos, shot of man doing laborious home repair work.

Her office is disorganized. Its become catchall room. She's embarrassed to have clients there. He hasn't remedied that, you see.

We get the impression the woman is 100% handicapped regarding anything house-related and that the precious dear simply cannot contribute to the organization of their home. For her life is made difficult and unsightly in small ways. (That reminds me, I have to finally kill this plant someone gave a long time ago. It's doing poorly, no chance to look good, and so easily replaced, yet here I am living with it, as if it has become invisible to me somehow by being there.) I actually became disgusted with the woman on t.v. and I don't even know her. I'm sure they shot it that way but it never was clear why it is so impossible for her to complete the 10%.

I'm putting together a road crew to get that baby done!

SW Colombia is pretty fucking remote. Pablo Escobar would have gotten that road built.

Pablo didn't use coke, but he loved to smoke weed. He had safe houses throughout Colombia. All had a very expensive Kohler toilet. The man loved his morning sit downs.

Nice.

Lysistrata by Aristrophenes is about women withholding sex to get their way.

It's a comedy, as the real life version is.

Then I think it would be fare to fix the road and put up a toll booth that required any woman wanting to pass to produce a note from a man stating that "payment" has been made for the construction, and the affidavit can't be more than 24 hours old.

This is not an issue for any of you splooge stooges because you can't splew let alone get a hardon.

bagoh20 said...

It's a fair fare.

Aristophanes called and asked, what about a hat tip!
