I call for Zimbabwean women to follow suit. Deny your men sex for two full weeks and you will see that the GNU will start working well to the benefit of the people. BOB should be denied sex. Grace do you here the call

This is pathetic what happened to picketing, petitions, campaigning, etc all Kenya women can do is a sex ban. Is that all an African woman can do to bring political change? Now i understand why women get raped at will during periods of political unrest.

Funke, I agree about the pathetic side of the protest, but it's like the situation is so bad that woman didn't find any reasonable way to signify their disappointment. They could have gone on strike of cooking, or washing the dishes, or the laundry... But in that case, other than men would have suffered from it. It's like those women are a little bit more responsible than their men. But I don't understand how you can see this explained protest to justify rapes, which can never be justified!

I dissagree with Funke. Africa leaders are so insensitive that they don't mind whose ox is gored. They are selfish that they care less about a woman protest and all the government do is send police or millitary to curtail such a protest. So employing an idea to deny all men sex in order to bring the issue on board is not only genius but creative. I tell you, everybody, especially men will be talking about the protest which if in a normal protest wont even make no impact. I support the idea cause is not only humourous but stick in the brain. Imagine the wife of Raila Odinga, Kenya prime minister, said she's part of this. On an ordinary protest, she might have gone shopping and wouldnt even know there is a protest going on. In fact it is not the SEX denying that matters but using it as an avenue to make the protest have impact....but hey on a serious note, every man likes sex..hehehehe....Viva Kenyan Women.

What a pig to make a comment regarding the reason women are reaped in Africa. I say power to the women who are the life force of the earth. Now we will get somewhere because if they hold out even longer the effect will be great. There are many ways to protest this is just one that will be effective. You seem to me to be a rapist with such a vile attitude towards women! You are a PIG! Hopefuly there are no women in your family because you have shamed them all. Ask God to forgive your vile tongue and change your nasty attitude towards women!

I am 100% behind the action of Kenyan women; this is bottom power in action.

Unfortunately however, most of those in power are either impotent or on the verge of being impotent, and this strike will have little effect on their psyche, and it is the poor guy on the street whose only form of relief is through the comfort of his wife or girl friend who will be the hardest hit.

That notwithstanding, I think the sex strike is a step in the right direction, and if one week denial fails to do the trick, they must extend the strike indefinitely. They must also include such things as cooking, and refuse to perform any chores for the men.

Any woman who is threatened with divorce must contact me for free legal representation, and this time we will hit them where it hurts the most - the wallet.

Cudos to the Kenyan woman.

So not only are Kenya women sex objects and the only way they can relate or get any attention from their spouse or effect political change is in the bedroom I FIND THIS TO BE SAD

Hey Doyin or Funke, whichever you are or probably both. Lets engage in contructive argurement instead of changing ur names to drive home ur point as if the comments are made by two different people. I understand ur sentiments as a woman but honestly, u can't be dodgy with your point by faking names to give the impression that others take your side. Com'on, grow up and be genuine in ur argurement. I respect ur view but stop the change of names to win points on ur side.

@Nubian I am entitled to use any nickname i wish it is not against the rules in addition i do not care if you agree or disagree with me i have a view and i will express it as many times as i like it is called FREEDOM OF SPEECH!!

Hi Doyin/Funke..listen, am not one of those internet warriors that engage in warfare, so am not here to spit venoms. I am a PanAfricanist and a peaceruler, i am calling a truce IoI, white flag up. I like debate though, a very good one. The Kenya women story is a debatable one. Am hoping u not from Kenya though. We are of same origin telling by ur name but I live in the UK, what part of the world do u live? Cheers....

Woman should be equally treated as men , owing to the fact that women are also tantamount to men.

Still on this G10 thing?

Let's roll with it, then!

Why stop at the animal function of "sex"?

To mount a robust attack, the G10 Amazons should stop cooking for their men, which would boost capitalist firms in the restaurant sector, and a "multiplier effect" would kick in, thereby stimulating the Kenyan 'economy'; stop doing the laundry of their men, a stimulus for the laundry business; stop taking care of the men's kids, yet another stimulus for the daycare business; and finally, but without limitation, stop cleaning the household, a big stimulus for the maid business.

When you add all these stimuli, perhaps, looking back a year or two from now, we would credit the G10 for solving the chronic ecomomic problems of Kenya.

You may call this twin of Lord Keynes economic theories, "the theory of african sexonomics."

While I appreciate that the issue under contention is important, I have problems to accept that a right can be fulfilled by breaking another one. It may be counterproductive and fail to resolve the very problem you intend to. Just imagine if a husband who is desperate for his congugal rights engages in outside sexual act, may be gets the HIV and AIDS or end up divorcing , what do you gain as women? In addition, is this culturally and morally upright?

All the best as you suggest new and better ways to counteract the challenge

Well, as a strategy, this is one out of many and it is not the first time that i hear about this form of 'movement'; but, it would be interesting to know how effective and efficient this is.
