Lysistrata Blog 2 Abstinance Risky Choice????

Before i move onto the Characterization of the play I wanted to delve into the whole idea of abstinance and how it could have been a potientally risky choice. I am glad that Plan Abstinance was a success but i believe that it could have gone in the opposite direction especially in society today. The women were lucky that they had a bold and courageous leader like Lysistrata to lead them because I could have imagined that the abstinance could have gone down as a joke because the men could have treated the women like dirt and I could see the very sensitive women breaking down and quitting just to have a happy marriage and family and even though that is all that the women wanted all along i believe that some of the men wouldn't have put up with their protest especially if it would have lasted longer than 24 hours.
