Lysistrata 2

Okay, Lysistrata's plan has me thinking about it's feasibility. It struck me first that the women were planning to abstain from sex, meaning that they are currently having sex with their husbands. I haven't heard of conjugal visits on battlefields, so it's my impression that the men return home periodically, or quite possibly every night from the battle zone. The writing of the play confuses me on this point because one of the women says that he husband has been posted in a far away region for seven months and she misses him very much. Yet, they also speak as if they see them everyday. I love Lysistrata for trying to make a woman's worth known, but I think that just by focusing off sex is degrading towards the women themselves. The men, in my opinion, will think the women just don't care about anything but their sex lives, and the ideology degrades the men by placing them no higher than those that can't live without sex, not that intercourse is a bad thing. I just believe that the women should have reiterated to the men the fact that they kept the homes in order, fed the the children and the rest of the family along with providing a healthy sex life. This play is supposed to be humorous, but I don't think it clearly shows the true value of a woman's worth.
