How else could Arisrophanes showed female oppression.

He did a good job showing this theme of female oppression, but I felt that he could of done more in this theme. For example, the women could of leave the men until they stoped fighting, or maybe even demanded more rights from the men, to be equal in government. I also think that he should of showed more examples of how the men were feeling about this. That way we could of gotten more laughs. Lysistrata should of got them to sign a peace treaty for like 10 years, that way they will be reminded on why they shouldn't start any wars, although the next generation may forget. These are all the ideas I can come up for now, I'll go back later

I agree that there he should have shown more oppression on the women. That would have emphasized how great of an achievement this was for the women. I also feel its kinda oc how the men's perspective was sorta left out. Having a character similar to Lysistrata on the men's side would have made the play a lot funnier and maybe even more meaningful.
