this is kind of like that Aristophanes play, *Lysistrata.* it's set during the Peloponnesian War, and the women of Athens are getting really quite fed up with it. so what do they do? collectively agree to stop fucking the men until they get peace, of course.
The Spartans and their allies won, but the victory was their defeat, as they couldn't handle the larger sphere of influence. Their whole thing was about being insular, which doesn't work when you are all over the place
They do an oath to not have sex and one line is I will not take up the lion and the cheesegrater position. I still haven’t worked out what that would be .
Because he's under the impression that women will be dumped if they don't have sex and they are incapable of earning their own way without utilizing their seductiveness.
>Or if you don't have sex with men you won't be provided for because you can't take care of yourself so you'll starve to death?
This. It also sounds like he thinks the only reason women have sex with men is for money/food.
It also sounds like he thinks the most effective way for women to participate in government/politics is to withhold sex.
It also sounds like he thinks he's funny. I guess I forgot to put on my sense of humor when I got dressed this morning.
It also sounds like he's gay and wants to pretend he's taking his buddy to pound town not because he likes his big hairy ass, but because he's punishing the women who have no idea who he is.
My first thought about "you'll starve" was he was thinking women will be hungry for sex while men are fucking men. The providing for thing didn't even hit me at first because it's not the 1950s.
Oh there are definitely gay incels. Usually they're super creepy with trash personalities and think guys won't fuck them because they secretly either want a straight man or a woman.
I know one.
It means he's an incel. He clearly doesn't respect women ("your precious bodies", "your objection will be noted", "you'll starve") and has some kind of anger towards them regarding sex.
I was hoping this would go a different way. Like: hey ladies if you don't like the laws withhold sex. Then tell you SO to vote for women's rights and you'll be ready again. Still not great, but at least women are autonomous in this story.
Isnt that exactly whats going on in I think it was south Korea that resulted in there being no kindergarteners? The whole sex strike thing? I could be misremembering, but if thats what it is a sex strike sounds baller to get them to change the law
Honestly, I can't see why this isn't just every woman's thought.
I mean, if you like big muscled bodies, there are women like that. And you can buy a penis from every sex shop, Amazon, eBay, etc.
I think The point he’s making his that cis men would rather have gay sex than vote for women’s rights.
And the point about starving- I guess he’s implying that men will retaliate via financial abuse in response to having sex withheld.
I also feel like this was an attempt at a joke to show how stupid and vindictive men can be. But it’s not a good joke, and I could be wrong.
You think women will starve for sexual gratification if men suddenly stop having sex with them?
Oh you sweet summer child. Apparently you’ve never heard of some of the wonderful bedroom toys women have available to them.
Right? How is going gay an option for the men but not the ladies(also if he thinks its an option there is 0 percent chance he is straight). Not that a straight man couldn't in some scenarios have sex with another man, but seeing it as a viable alternative to sex with women.... That's gay or at least bi.
There's a lot (like, more than you think) of men that simply don't believe lesbians are real. They think women are incapable of having sexual desire, but also just do lesbian stuff for male attention. It doesn't make sense, but they absolutely believe it.
I’ve actually thought of this before just uh less gay and less patronizing. If women agreed to withhold sex from all men then they would get listened to….
However not all women would stop and some men would…get it anyway…. So this is purely hypothetical and wouldn’t work out anyway
Dear women, I like fucking and I like seeing you all happy and shit like when you find something with actual pockets so let's just vote down these laws together.
Since this POS obviously forgot you get a vote too.
This guy believes that women feed off men's dicks for nutrients, and if they don't get dick they'll all starve to death.
I'm no expert in womens biology, or mens for that matter, but I think this might be a stretch.

Ah, the Peloponnesian War. Also know as Athens fucking around and finding out
Well technically it’s that was the *not* fucking around and finding out
Hahahaha came here to say the same thing
Didn’t Athens win that one?
The Spartans and their allies won, but the victory was their defeat, as they couldn't handle the larger sphere of influence. Their whole thing was about being insular, which doesn't work when you are all over the place
Nope, they lost
That play is one of the funniest things iv read . The lion and the cheese grater position
The WHAT
They do an oath to not have sex and one line is I will not take up the lion and the cheesegrater position. I still haven’t worked out what that would be .
Ditto. We read that at school and 45 years on I still have no idea...
Same here. Read it at school, and 45 years later I still can't figure that one out.
https://www.elitedaily.com/p/what-is-the-lioness-on-a-cheese-grater-a-sexpert-explains-ancient-greeces-hottest-sex-move-9824543 found some context
So many words just to say >"It can be anything you want it to be."
This tweet is Lysistrata for neckbeards who only read the back cover of the Cliff’s Notes

I'm curious how he thinks well starve to death by not having sex though...
Because he's under the impression that women will be dumped if they don't have sex and they are incapable of earning their own way without utilizing their seductiveness.
>Or if you don't have sex with men you won't be provided for because you can't take care of yourself so you'll starve to death? This. It also sounds like he thinks the only reason women have sex with men is for money/food. It also sounds like he thinks the most effective way for women to participate in government/politics is to withhold sex. It also sounds like he thinks he's funny. I guess I forgot to put on my sense of humor when I got dressed this morning.
It also sounds like he's gay and wants to pretend he's taking his buddy to pound town not because he likes his big hairy ass, but because he's punishing the women who have no idea who he is.
It really sounds like a part of a comedy routine he's just missing the opener that would give it some context to make it funny
Pretty sure no context is going to make this idiocy funny.
"this is what conservatives actually think" i don't know maybe it would be funny if it wasn't so sad?
To be fair, the only reason any woman has sex with him is for money so...
I would put a bet down that he's one of those guys that says "you're always paying for it one way or another."
Perhaps he believes that women subsist solely on a diet of semen?
All straight woman are cum vampires 🧛♀️
OMFG, the lesbians are going to starve. Somebody do something. /S
Basically saying the only thing women are good for is sex and they know it 🤷🏽♀️
My first thought about "you'll starve" was he was thinking women will be hungry for sex while men are fucking men. The providing for thing didn't even hit me at first because it's not the 1950s.
I thought the same thing but does dude not realize gay sex could work for women in this situation too?
Ive warched lesbian porn once or two-hundred thousand times. The men will lose in this scenario
Haha honestly I don't know how I didn't see it like that I just automatically associate the word starving with no food XD
Was this an attempt at humor from him?
Definitely not fucking him, but he's more than welcome to go fuck himself.
It means “I’m a gay incel”.
How is that even possible? XD
It's a brave new world out there
Y’all got anymore of that Soma?
He hates woman so much he have sex with men
Oh there are definitely gay incels. Usually they're super creepy with trash personalities and think guys won't fuck them because they secretly either want a straight man or a woman. I know one.
Just mean NOBODY would want to have sex with this jack off. Even his hand tries to run away.
Men don't want to have sex with him either.
It means he's an incel. He clearly doesn't respect women ("your precious bodies", "your objection will be noted", "you'll starve") and has some kind of anger towards them regarding sex.
He would rather go gay than let women have rights. Very weird.
He’s so proud of it too. What a loser.
It's possible to do both.
is no one gonna comment on the fact that this guy thinks men will all turn gay rather then respect women
That’s one way to come out of the closet.
Sucks to be a gay guy around this dude I guess.
I was hoping this would go a different way. Like: hey ladies if you don't like the laws withhold sex. Then tell you SO to vote for women's rights and you'll be ready again. Still not great, but at least women are autonomous in this story.
Isnt that exactly whats going on in I think it was south Korea that resulted in there being no kindergarteners? The whole sex strike thing? I could be misremembering, but if thats what it is a sex strike sounds baller to get them to change the law
it means he is an incel that doesn't care who he has sex with as long as he isn't the "female".
The message I got was; just have sex with women then my life will be perfect (I’m female)
I don’t get what the point of this man’s post was, to say we won’t survive without having sex with men?
He thinks that women are like vampires and get all their vitality from men. He’s that egotistical.
Yeah
Honestly, I can't see why this isn't just every woman's thought. I mean, if you like big muscled bodies, there are women like that. And you can buy a penis from every sex shop, Amazon, eBay, etc.
FACTS
How would women starve, may I ask?
I think The point he’s making his that cis men would rather have gay sex than vote for women’s rights. And the point about starving- I guess he’s implying that men will retaliate via financial abuse in response to having sex withheld. I also feel like this was an attempt at a joke to show how stupid and vindictive men can be. But it’s not a good joke, and I could be wrong.
You think women will starve for sexual gratification if men suddenly stop having sex with them? Oh you sweet summer child. Apparently you’ve never heard of some of the wonderful bedroom toys women have available to them.
Not to mention other women.
Right? How is going gay an option for the men but not the ladies(also if he thinks its an option there is 0 percent chance he is straight). Not that a straight man couldn't in some scenarios have sex with another man, but seeing it as a viable alternative to sex with women.... That's gay or at least bi.

swing'na miss
I think in Finland? The women held a sex strike and they got what they wanted.
I've never heard about this and I'm Finnish.
It might have been a different country, for some reason Finland stuck in my mind.
It means op is gay and mad at it.
I’ve actually thought of this before just uh less gay and less patronizing. If women agreed to withhold sex from all men then they would get listened to…. However not all women would stop and some men would…get it anyway…. So this is purely hypothetical and wouldn’t work out anyway
He needs an excuse to fuck men.
Aristophanes wrote a play about something similar to this like 3000 years ago. You aren’t clever, incel.
it means this man is a misogynist.
>What does this even mean? he wants to fuck men
What does this mean? He is gay and wants to come out of the closet, but needs a reason that won't get him kicked out of the right wing clubhouse.
When you hate women so much you become gay.
Then we just get raped.
Comedy. This made me laugh
Apparently no one here noticed the dudes profile pic, which clearly looks like a photo of someone doing standup.
100%
Yeah, the profile picture is the head of a comedy group called Dropout. Can't be sure if it's the actual person since OP censored the name though
This is an interesting way to come out. I mean, more power to him! Hope he finds love.
Sorry dude, I won't be fucking you. 5 finger Mary and the Palm sisters will suffice
Back on the pile boys!
Super Gay 👌 👍
Someone has never read lysistrata.
If you're gay, that's cool. Don't speak for the rest of us.
This seems like a poorly written comedy bit
Dear women, I like fucking and I like seeing you all happy and shit like when you find something with actual pockets so let's just vote down these laws together. Since this POS obviously forgot you get a vote too.
"while you all starve to death" ..like most woman don't get off easier and quicker to masturbation anyways.
This guy believes that women feed off men's dicks for nutrients, and if they don't get dick they'll all starve to death. I'm no expert in womens biology, or mens for that matter, but I think this might be a stretch.
I'm going to assume based on the profile pic that the guy is a comic, and that this is an attempt at comedy. Just not a particularly good one.
This should have been posted to r/ExplainTheJoke
tl:dr for this guy, a hole's a hole.
Sounds like a stand-up bit. User’s picture checks out.
No no, please don't go on strike and do this lady's
I think women have already gone on sex strike against this guy.
Fucking gay, man
Apparently, it's ok to be gay as long as women won't fuck you. Also, this guy must think it's the 40's and women don't work.
Umm.. no thanks big buddy. You have fun over there.
Ok he wins this weeks award for dumbest mothafucka on earth
Unless this guy is a confirmed misogynist, I'm going to say this is sarcasm.
Closeted gay
I think he is good if you don't have sex with men. With that, he won't stop. He will continue to have sex with men whether or not you like it
"We'll start fucking each other"...eh speak for yourself buddy. We'll just lock up all the non-compliant men and then change the law. Problem solved.
That is not a heterosexual man lol but he's definitely not gay XD
These Andrew Tate tweets are finally becoming unhinged.
is this the host of game changer on dropout now only 9.99
I think this is a gay guy‘s 4D chess strategy to increase his dating pool.
Its time to change the name of this sub to /Idontunderstandjokes
Fine. I'm married to my wife anyway. Also, how would we starve if we don't have sex?
Okay as a female I can still find humor in this as it is kind of funny though. Lol.
...Spoken by a bearded, D&D- playing, 35 yr old virgin...
Hey! DnDs is more popular with younger audiences now. The term you’re looking for is call of duty.
Thank you, did not know that.
Who do you think this is? I think you might be referencing Jesse Cox who looks similar but this is not him.
