Lysistrata - nearly 2000 years now and hasn’t worked since
I saw a college production of Lysistrata and it was hilarious. At one point the cast members lost it and the audience laughed histerically. It took several minutes to regain composure to complete the play.
I’ve been spamming this observation all over the threads whenever Lysistrata is mentioned, but despite the obvious obscenities, at heart it’s really about marriage and family. The men were destroying their societies by a costly civil war, and their wives were forcing them to remember the comforts of home, in the most persuasive way they knew how.
When the strike ends in the play, the women make their husbands a nice dinner first before they all retire.
If you took out all the dirty jokes that the college kids like to snicker at, Lysistrata would be universally panned as blatantly misogynist and right wing.
