(10,012 posts)than women going full-on Lysistrata, which was my idea on abortion, but might also work here. Anyone ever see the movie CHI-RAQ? It's an updated version of Lysistrata set among Chicago gangs. You can probably still catch it on Amazon Prime. I recommend it.

(47,500 posts)But why not with the gun violence too.
Males are the ones killing our children. We need to get their attention.
If women were the ones slaughtering people in mass murder scenarios they would put us all in detention camps.
For god's sake, a female drew a chalk protest on the sidewalk in front of one the elites and congress took action right away.

(47,500 posts)Thank you for coming up with ideas to move our country forward and save the lives of our children.
I have been advocating that teacher's strike but have been poo-pooed.
I think a general strike including many areas of society, a work stoppage is a very appropriate idea for discussion.
I actually really like your list. It is certainly targeting a certain demographic and will definitely get their attention.
