Dude, I love being African just for this.

What am I talking about?  This.

Relying on the old adage that men think with their penises, women in Kenya have been encouraged to withhold sex from their husbands until fighting in the national unity government is ended.  Quite a few activist groups are involved, including the Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA).  Another group, the Women’s Development Organization, has committed to paying off sex workers to keep the movement alive.

Rukia Subow, chairman of the Women's Development Organization, said, "We have looked at all issues which can bring people to talk and we have seen that sex is the answer. It does not know tribe, it does not have a (political) party and it happens in the lowest households." (MSNBC)

Patricia Nyaundi said that representatives have been sent to inform Ida Odinga and Lucy Kibaki of the protests, and to encourage them to join.  Odinga is wife to Prime Minister Raila Odinga, and Lucy Kibaki is married to President Mwai Kibaki.  The president and the prime minister are coalition leaders.  Nyaundi summed it up nicely:

"Great decisions are made during pillow talk, so we are asking the two ladies at that intimate moment to ask their husbands: 'Darling can you do something for Kenya?'"

According to BBC correspondent Anne Waithera, it’s about to get crazy in Kenya, where apparently, men can’t go more than two days without some lovin’.

Wow, just wow.  Hit ‘em where it hurts, ladies!
