In my opinion, women disobedience plays a significant role throughtout the play. To me, it symbolizes how women can think on their own as well as make appropriate decisions during this time era. their disobedience shows their power against the oppression of men. By refusing to have sex, something in which the men want dearly, shows their ability to control the men in a sense. This gives them the right to make the men do as they say in order for the men to receive pleasures, something the women are refusing to give up.

I agree the women disobedient role is significant. as i stated in my post," the women of Athens are no longer obedient to the men of Athens. Also, the women are willing to trade insults and even to fight, if necessary." It shows their dedication that they have for Lysistrata's plan.

I completely agree with you hun. The women's disobedience is significant. It shows thier mind strength and their overall power as women. Thier disobedience was well-organized, thoroughly thought out, and planned. This shows that women are able to think for themselves and organize an outstanding protest behind the men's backs and go through with it, successfully.
