(in-text reference). 
She states that she pays her "share of tolls and taxes, by giving men to the State" (in-text reference), that is, by doing a reproductive work. Lysistrata proceeds with direct accusations of the initiators of the war: "... you miserable greybeards, you contribute nothing to the public charges" (in-text reference). The protagonist then points out that the men not only did not contribute anything to the community: "on the contrary, you have wasted the treasure of our forefathers, as it was called, the treasure amassed in the days of the Persian Wars. You pay nothing at all in return; and into the bargain you endanger our lives and liberties by your mistakes" (in-text reference). The heroine ends with the question whether the men have something to say in their defense, i.e., whether they have even "one word to say" for themselves (in-text reference).]]> 2020-11-15 15:59:19 UTC https://padlet.com/livitsa/r66y42zygwonsxe3/wish/924668607 https://padlet.com/livitsa/r66y42zygwonsxe3/wish/926195220 In the play, Lysistrata states: "I am a woman, but I have brain. I'm old enough to have  intelligent ideas" (Lysistrata, line 1126). She proves that sex does not reduce humans' worth. Her struggle for women's stand starts since the beginning of scene 1 when she says that she is "[s]o exhausted that the whole of Greece depends for it's salvation on the women" (Lysistrata, 30).]]> 2020-11-16 08:11:40 UTC https://padlet.com/livitsa/r66y42zygwonsxe3/wish/926195220 shadishamiyah1_1 https://padlet.com/livitsa/r66y42zygwonsxe3/wish/926199915 In the play Lysistrata, Lampito said:" it's pretty hard for us to sleep without an erect prick,..." ( Lysistrata, Line 144-145), as a response to Lysistrata who said: We must give up the prick(Lysistrata,Line 126).
This quote contradicted the whole point of the play which was to show that women were abused and used as sex toys against their will.
This also showed that some women found pleasure in being abused, that's why most women were hesitant when Lysistrata suggested for them to avoid having sex with their men.
This is also supported by the Lysistrata when she said that" they don't get as much pleasure from forced sex." ( Lysistrata, Line 165).
This passage completely debunks the common thought which suggested that men raped women.

During the feast, one of the Athenians shouted at the slaves: "Go away, so the Spartans inside can leave in peace when the banquet is over" (Ewans, 100). Here, slaves were considered as dangerous people in the Greek society. They also were treated in awful ways. As the the same Athenian man said to the slaves: "... you wretches!" (Ewans, 101). Then, the slaves retreated because they were scared of the Athenians' actions. After that, the feast continued. One of the Spartans men said to the Athenian man: "Good friend, play the bagpipes, so I can dance and sing" (Ewans, 101). All the Athenian and the Spartans were happy while the slaves were struggling through their lives. ]]> 2020-11-16 08:14:33 UTC https://padlet.com/livitsa/r66y42zygwonsxe3/wish/926203204 lunazaher1_1 https://padlet.com/livitsa/r66y42zygwonsxe3/wish/926205201 In the play, Kalonike asks: "Don't you think the men will come and try to take it back it from us at once?" (Lysistrata, lines 247-248). The protagonist Lysistrata answers her: "They will not make us open the doors unless they agree to do what we say" (Lysistrata, lines 251-252).

I'm old enough to have intelligent ideas"(Lysistrata, 97). In the whole play, Lysistrata working on a specific point, that women are important, they have to take their rights like men, and they are not like slaves.

In terms of that, the protagonist replies in objection to what men mainly think about women: “What did you expect? Did you think you were attacking slave-girls?” (Lysistrata 465-466). Then she continues to emphasize that women are not powerless and says: “don’t you realize women can be courageous?” (Lysistrata 566-467).]]> 2020-11-16 08:25:39 UTC https://padlet.com/livitsa/r66y42zygwonsxe3/wish/926232933 hadelawadallah https://padlet.com/livitsa/r66y42zygwonsxe3/wish/926245169 In scene 1 of Lysistrata, the women discuss their plan and seal it with an oath, with Lampito saying: "Disclose the oath, and we will swear to it."

We don’t have many options. All we can do is lie around in slinky gowns, 
all made up and perfumed, wearing pretty little shoes."
Lysistrata summoned all the women to talk about what they are going to do, and Calonice states: "My dear Lysistrata, just what is this matter you've summoned us women to consider. What's up? Something big?". Lysistrata smiles and says, "Yes, indeed -- both big and stout."
Lysistrata talks about how all of the women have the shared desire to end the war, Calonice chimes in, suggesting that they have few options for helping the situation, as they can only use their feminine charms, since they have no political power.]]> 2020-11-16 08:35:31 UTC https://padlet.com/livitsa/r66y42zygwonsxe3/wish/926259965 https://padlet.com/livitsa/r66y42zygwonsxe3/wish/926262397 In the eponymous play, Lysistrata says with anger: "They're trotting out any excuse to go back home."
