Women in one of Colombia's most dangerous cities have taken the rampant violence on with the only weapon that may defeat guns and ammunition: the power to deny their men any sexual relations.Yeah, that'll work.
Dozens of women in Pereira have joined the so called "crossed legs strike," hoping to help the local government's disarmament effort.
One gang member's girlfriend said withholding sex was proving a powerful incentive. "The boys listen to us. When we close ourselves off a bit they listen to us. If they don't give up their weapons, then we won't be with them," Margarita told AP Television.
We all know how much gang culture respects women, especially the classy prizes who avail their bodies to violent street thugs.
Tell me this strike won't be over by the second or third strike...
