As a feminist myself, I have to agree with those who say this has nothing to do with feminism. There IS a very small, radical wing of feminism that believes that all intercourse with men is degrading to women, but they are the stereotypical "man haters" would not have gotten into a relationship with you in the first place.

This is about control and who is in charge of the relationship. If she were a real feminist, she would acknowledge that power should be shared equally and that an equal partnership is the goal. Withholding sex and even any affection is not creating an equal partnership.

If you put up with this now, it will never change. She will use sex (or lack of it) as a punishment and control tool for the rest of your life. I would suggest you confront her and tell her you are willing to work WITH her to form an equal partnership, and if she is not willing to do this, you need to be prepared to walk away with your dignity.
