Sex boycott against Ukrainian government

Feminist organisations in Ukraine have called on the wives and lovers of members of government to castigate their husbands with a sex boycott. Their grievance: Prime Minister Nikolai Azarov had described women as unfit for government work. News magazine Wprost is highly amused: "Is it cruel? Naturally - but effective! It is strange that women, who have such great power over male desire, have so far failed to use it to shake the foundations of patriarchal society. But better late than never. If the wives and lovers of Ukrainian ministers act on the feminists' appeal it can't be ruled out that within two weeks Prime Minister Azarov will declare that [Ukrainian national hero Stepan] Bandera was a woman. ... Just imagine if we transferred this method of political battle to Polish soil."
