Liberals everywhere have been having meltdowns left and right in the days since the unprecedented leak of the draft of a Supreme Court opinion indicating that Roe V. Wade was about to be overturned, a move that would throw the issue of abortion back to the states.
However, few people took this report worse than Joy Behar and her radically liberal costars on the ABC talk show “The View.”
After spending much of Monday’s show sulking over the report, Behar hatched a plan on Tuesday morning that she thinks may stop plans to overturn Roe V. Wade dead in their tracks, and that plan is a sex strike.
Yes, you read that correctly: Behar is calling on women to withhold sex if any plans to overturn Roe V. Wade move forward.
Her suggestion stemmed from a conversation about abortion rights, during which she told the panel:
“Women in the world have conducted sex strikes in history. In 2003, a sex strike helped to end Liberia’s brutal civil war, and the woman who started it was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. In 2009, Kenyan women enforced a sex ban until political infighting ceased. Within one week, there was a stable government.”
“We have more power than we think we have, and some of it could be right in the bedroom, just sayin’.”

Her suggestion earned the vocal approval of two of her co-hosts, with Sunny Hostin remarking, “A sex strike! That could be quite effective,” and Sara Haines chiming in to say, “And what a perfect method and weapon for the exact topic we’re talking about.”
In the same segment, Behar stated that she believes a sex strike may be necessary because overturning Roe v. Wade is a “slippery slope…these people if they’re in charge of the presidency, the Senate, and the House, it’s going to be a disaster.”
She then urged her fans: “don’t think this is just a war on women. It could be a war on people of color and gay people.”
However, Behar may be surprised to learn that withholding sex may not be an effective way for women to fight this “war,” given how little sex Generation Z (those born after 1996) has these days.
According to one recent study, members of Generation Z between the ages of 20 and 24 were more likely than millennials and Generation X to be sexually inactive at that age; in fact, while only 6% of Generation Xers said they were sexually inactive at that age, a whopping 15% of Generation Zers said they had no sex between the ages of 20 and 24.
The Newsweek reports owing to studies like this one states that Generation Z is the “least sex-positive generation” in decades.
So, perhaps Behar might want to think of something else that she can weaponize in her quest to fight the overturn of Roe V. Wade besides sex. May we suggest a strike of anything fun? Because that seems like something that Behar and her fellow radical liberals seem much better at withholding from the rest of us these days.
