More comical than Lysistrata
Refuse to have sex with your soldier boy , refuse to
have sex at all with any Greek male ? Anti -war women still find
inspiration and helpful hints in " Lysistrata " , the ancient Greek
comedy by the immortal Aristophanes .
A modern anti-war comedy might try this variation on the
theme of women against war : Make next Valentine's Day an international
Abortion Day for EVERY Pregnant woman ! And bury all the unborn babies
in Arlington National Cemetery.
The right to life in this world has become a right to
a hell of a life !
Consider the etymology of the word " proletariat " . This
class in the ancient world had only one significant function : to
produce and feed the soldiers.
Global capitalism has created a very similar class
today- mass producing soldiers for slaughter and ignorant PROLES
for economic drudgery. What a life ! Women of the world - just say
NO to procreation !
