women in a turkish village are trying to persuade their men to fix their water supply by withholding sex from them. i started reading this thinking it sounded like a good idea for a film (comedy or serious social commentary, take your pick). the article ends by saying the women were inspired by a popular turkish comedy. there are no new plot lines.

and italian women are too tired. i’ll try and find a third related story and we’ll have ourselves a bone fide trend.

fortunately i could only find stories that bucked the trend.
