Personally, I'd put not knowing about Lysistrata down to a lousy education.

Never heard of a play that was popular in Athens in 411 BC??? I wonder why that might be

What a reduced view of reality you must have!
The very foundation of education is necessity.... just where it would have been necessary in my very broad life to learn about a play that took place more than 2413 years ago, I can't imagine.

I think you've just captured the difference between trade school and university. And to respond to your question...well, right here.

Is beating your wife illegal in Ukraine/Russia. If not then good luck with that ladies? I know that sounds crazy... But is weaponizing and extorting the sexual side of your relationship any better then a guy hitting his wife? Or cheating?
Funny because I think all women use sex to get what they want in a relationship. Atleast at some point in the relationship.
Would it be rape if she tried to bribe you with sex, but you refused whatever she wanted, and took it? Obviously she was willing to sleep with you at that time. She just wanted a new car first. Lol.
I have never ever put my hands on a woman. The closest I've ever come is throwing my daughters mom onto something soft ( bed, couch) and holding her down as she threw herself at me clawing, biting, and swinging.

Women do have the right/choice/freedom (or should) to withhold sex if they want... but one also should remember that you get more with honey then with vinegar...

and I still say that the women in this country should do this enmass to address some of the reproductive rights issues in this country
Like the right for a father to have the child they created (reproduce) when a mother wants to kill it?
Equal reproductive rights indeed.
Sorry about flaunting my limited intelligence in front of God and everybody. Lysistrata was a mandatory part of my high school education.

It is impossible to know everything.. I happen to have 3 degrees under my belt... none required me to know ancient theatrics.
our time here is limited, if you choose to spend your time on irelivant learning that's your choice, just do not lable all that have not learned the same things as you as uneducated... To do so just makes you look limited in intelligence. Korg.

And interestingly enough, the play is indeed relevant to the topic at hand...and I'll just bet helped to inspire it.edit on 29-3-2014 by JohnnyCanuck because: (no reason given)

I've always said that women could run the planet practically overnight if they could just all get their act together enough to do this.
Funny, yet....
Gee...we had Science, Math, Languages, History, and wait for it...Classics. It's called breadth. That was part of the curriculum in Ontario. Was it worthwhile? Well, it helped me to identify classical themes in current events. I think it adds to the depth of one's understanding. It tells me that these concepts are not new, and have been addressed in the same era that germinated Science, Math and Languages that are still relevant today. If it's useless to you...dandy.

Mandatory?
And you say others have a sub standard education. While you might of been learning about an ancient geek play, the rest of us were hard at work doing Science, Math and Languages....
I didn't say that the play was not relevant to the topic... just that you seem to think that if you have not previously heard of the play, it is somehow surprising and must be the result of a substandard education... your words not mine....
Your statement shows you have a serious deficit in the depth of your thinking! Korg.
