Update on Kenyan sex strike!

Last week, I discussed a protest by the women of Kenya, who rallied against the combative national government, by withholding sex from their husbands until peace is embraced.  Crazy, right?  They even asked the president and prime minister's wives to join.

If you saw my little edit at the bottom of that post, the PM's wife endorsed the strike on 1 May.  

On 3 May, a bunch of religious leaders and groups condemned the strike.  Muslim Women Groups of Mombasa (home of Fort Jesus, haha) called the strike "Un-Godly."

The strike ended on Wednesday, 6 May.

Well. it just got crazier.

A Kenyan man has sued the organizers of the boycott for giving him "anxiety and sleepless nights," ailments spurred by his wife's refusal to participate in, as Steve Urkel would say, "the horizontal polka."

According to the Kenyan Broadcasting Corporation (KBC), James Kimondo is seeking "damages" from the G10 group, a syndicate of women's groups in Kenya.  G10 organized the protest.

"Through his lawyer Wanjohi Gichuhi, he says his wife Teresia Wanjiku denied him his conjugal rights resulting to mental anguish, stress, backaches and lack of concentration and sleep," said KBC.

Seriously, while this may not have worked exactly as they intended, I think these women did a great job of thinking outside the box.  No one would have paid them any attention, especially in the West, if they had held a march or a prayer service.  This got attention, and demanded action from political leaders.

Nice work, ladies.

What say you?
