Crossed Legs strike worked

17th Oct 2011

Of all people, two male Colombian Judges suggested to the women of Barbacoas that they might motivate their menfolk to swing into action if they had a sex strike.
The Colombian women’s  “crossed legs” strike of sexual abstinence was aimed at getting a road to their isolated town paved, after officials pledged to invest in the project, but then filibustered.
It worked.
The men’s breaking point was a bit longer than Kenneth Griffin’s  – just over 3 months.
