Give in, Women!!

An important question was brought up in class and that as whether or not one thought the women would have eventually given in to the oath if the men would not have put down their weapons and given up in the war. The oath I think eventually the women would have given in, especially because some of them were so hesitant into taking the oath to begin with. But, ultimately it was the women’s choice and decision to take the oath. I think the women took the oath because Lysistrata led and convinced the women to take away all sexual favors from the men, unless they decided to end the war. Therefore I think the women were then determined to stay absent from sex. I think if the women were the ones to have give in they would have lasted a lot longer than the men did, especially considering the fact that the men could not go twenty-four hours without sex.
