Lysistrata
HMMM... When reading i noticed that these women have a lot of control over these men. Even though back in those days women weren't seen as prominent parts of the society they had a great impact on the men. The men probably couldn't control their desires for the women. These women had the power to make or break the war. And in my eyes that is EXCELLENT! IF women would decide to refrain from sex today I wonder what whould happen... Would our world be better? Idk... 2dae sex has been made into this ugly,nasty act, but thats not the way God intended it 2 be. So mayb if we as females would actually make the chose to wait until we are married to have sex then maybe we could accomplish more. WHat do u guys think!!!

But that is what Arostophanes is trying to say...that even though women werent seen as major roles in society in those times, they actually were and arent given enough credit. I think he is trying to say that women arent given enough credit, because BEHIND EVERY GREAT MAN, IS A GREAT WOMAN. And he wants to tell everyone to never underestimate the power of a woman. Its interesting that Aristophanes took this from a sexual perspective, because, its been known that men always have dirty minds and would do anything to get "it".
I agree. The women do have a lot of power over these men, and the men are just suffering. Poor men.........yet I do wonder what it would be like today? Good Question!
