Lysistrata convinces the women of Greece to withhold sexual privileges from their husbands as a means of forcing the men to negotiate a peace, a strategy however that inflames the battle between the sexes. The play is notable for its exposé of sexual relations in a male-dominated society and for its use of both double entendre and explicit obscenities.Apparently one Kenyan is mighty upset with the women who took the Lysistrata route and withheld sexual relations; Jimi Izrael writes:
A Kenyan man decided to sue the organizers of the sex strike there, saying the deprivation has caused him undue stress. According to the ladies and CNN reports, the strike worked, kinda, as leaders did actually meet. I was a big critic of the sex strike -- and I remain one --- but you can't argue with results, right?
This guy, though, who's suing? That's a fail.
The strike is over, but homeboy is suing for damages. Really? Like what -- chafin'? Feenin'? What? If men called a lawyer every time a woman used sex to manipulate them, the courts would be clogged up for centuries. I think that Kenyan brother needs to get to know himself a little better --- if you catch my meaning --- and call it a wrap.
