Lysistrata Lives
I just couldn’t resist this one, ladies ….
A Kenyan man is suing the organisers of a politically motivated sex ban for causing him “anxiety and sleepless nights”.
James Kimondo is seeking damages for the ban which was called by womens’ groups in a bid to force political leaders to put their rivalries aside.
“Since the women called for the sex boycott, my wife has denied me my conjugal rights. This has caused me anxiety and sleepless nights,” he said. “I have been suffering mental anguish, stress, back aches, lack of concentration“.
The leaders of the G10, a coalition of womens’ groups, argued that the country’s male leaders should not have time for matters of the flesh when the country is ensnared in economic and political turmoil.
The strike has actually ended (with the organisers claiming it had been a success) but Kimondo wants some compensation.
Note : Theophanes’s play, Lysistrata, brings home to us that the forces of love, (OK sex), might possibly be stronger than the forces of destruction — if we act!
He must be under 50 then, because once you get past 50 it somehow doesn’t seem to be a problem anymore
