There are some responses that seem quite hysterical here over the suggestion that women can exercise their right to withhold sex, calling it a "tantrum," "hate speech," — Artemis
To think that supposes women were there to have sex with men in the first place, hence the withholding part, rather than just not partaking. — TheWillowOfDarkness
I assumed the OP was just being sensational — frank
This results in a sort of ‘choosing’ of one’s sexual orientation because even if you choose not to undergo sexual orientation with either gender you would still be choosing asexuality. — Bridget Eagles
Essentially, this view allows women to choose their sexual orientation based off of the political results they want as feminists. — Bridget Eagles
A small semantic point, but you should be using the term "sexual behaviour", not "sexual orientation". — Michael
It's astonishing that someone could be so entitled.
Newsflash, someone not being interested in you sexually, is not malice. It just means you don't do it for them. — Artemis
Accusing him of entitlement and making presumptions about his relationships (or lack thereof) with women is a non sequitur and an ad hominem. — Michael
He's calling embracing "lesbianhood" malicious. — Artemis
Sure, only "some," but it still means he thinks not having sex with men is about being mean to men. — Artemis
He's not saying that they're malicious because they're lesbians; he's saying that they're lesbians because they're malicious — Michael
No, you cannot be malicious toward a person by refusing to bed them. — Artemis
Where's the difference? Both ways it assumes malice behind refusing to sleep with someone. Whether your malicious for refusing it or maliciously refusing it makes little diffference. — Artemis
I'm not sure I'd be inclined to stick around to talk much given the level of engagement in most of the responses. — TheWillowOfDarkness
There is still a difference between sexual orientation and engaging in hate speech on the other gender. I have never heard gay men saying hateful things about women, irrespective of the fact that they don't fancy them sexually. There seems to be a real need to rein in the lesbian hate speech on men. — alcontali
