"The weak can be strong when their cause is just"

One of the many themes of Lysistrata, this quote is a summary of the plight of the women. Although i dont entirely agree w/ the women being weak in the first place, i do agree w/ the fact that they became stronger whne they united and began fighting for a just cause. They wanted to end the war and gain equality among the men. The men, rejected this change and contineud to maintain their dominance ..... until it was apparent that the women would not either....... (guys, girls are stubborn, so good luck trying to get your way...lol). the fact that the men gave in was not surprising, however what did surprise me was how quickly some of the men gave in....and how quickly the women began to get their way....... its amazing how much importance society has placed on sex.
