In the May cover story for an empowerment themed issue of Marie Claire, singer/actress Janelle Monae says women should refrain from having sex until “every man is fighting for our rights!”

According to Monae, a sex-strike would help push the agenda of women’s rights.

In “The Future is Female” Janelle Monae says:

““People have to start respecting the vagina. Until every man is fighting for our rights, we should consider stopping having sex. I love men. But evil men? I will not tolerate that. You don’t deserve to be in my presence. If you’re going to own this world and this is how you’re going to rule this world, I am not going to contribute anymore until you change it. We have to realize our power and our magic. Because I am all about black-girl magic, even though I’m standing with all women. But this year? This year, I am so carefree black girl.”
