Lysistrate

Unlike what Kleonike says, Lysistrate does not like those normal Greece women, who take care of their families. At the beginning, the explosion of Lysistrate’s plan to end the war shows us her special because, back then, that kind of topic always belongs to men rather than women. Her special is not only reflected in that, and also her idea of how to end the war is pretty interesting.

As a woman, she truly knows what social status women have, which restricts their right, besides, indeed, she knows that, for men, women are sexual creatures that they can not live without. She exploits her awareness to create her idea to gather all women and to get peace rather than war.

Lysistrate does not shame about talking sex, instead, she considers the safety of the country lying with the Greece women based on their sexual attraction. Finally, the whole story is ended by the agreement of truce, which explains Lysistrate’s idea is feasible. Eventhough women are tools of producing babies for men, their livings without females are miserable; that’s why God creates Adam and Eve.

For me, I consider that women who use sex to resolve the problem are shameful. However, sometimes (or most of the time), that is the easiest way to make your man obey. I hate to say that, but…
