Marleen Temmerman told the De Morgen<\/em> newspaper that negotiators should abstain from having sex until a new coalition government was formed.<\/p>\n

The socialist politician, who is also a renowned gynecologist, said she was inspired by her time in Kenya.<\/p>\n

“After a year of talking, women’s movements called on the negotiators’ wives to stop having sex<\/strong> until an agreement was reached. A week later, a deal was on the table,” she said.<\/p>\n

Senator Marleen Temmerman\u00a0is frustrated and told HLN that, \u201cNo, it can’t continue like this. Instead, let\u2019s close the legs<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Let’s close the legs?! First of all, there are no women negotiators in these talks? Second, why call on wives? This strikes me as the age old assumption that women do not really enjoy sex (so, of course they will be willing to withdraw it) and instead, only engage in it to please their male partners. Also, what about gay or lesbian politicians? So much wrong in this “proposal”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
