A sex strike is an organized effort to bring about political or social change by women refusing to give anyone sexual access to their bodies.
The Argument: As a protest tactic, a sex strike can be effective. But in order to succeed, participation among women must be unanimous - men must be the only ones in positions of power - and only actions (not beliefs) can be affected. The only reliable utility of such a strike might be the attention that it draws to a cause.
