One step forward many more backward

I know that we're suppossed to be reading this text and seeing all the wonderfully feminist themes but I realized that this book really does more harm than good.
Yes, you can look at it as a revolutionary novel wherein womyn finally rebel against male tyranny and idiocy but is that what this book is really about? From a Marxist perspective yes, kinda because they do decide to stop "shutting up" but do they really say anything with their voices. Are they heard?

I'd like to argue that book is very counter-productive from a feminist perspective because not only does it abuse the power that lies within the female body and the sexuality of womyn it also alienates to some extent the individuality and freedom that a womyn have to look forward to in their lives in terms of sexual freedom.

This book is saying that all womyn are good for is their bodies and it is the only way they can achieve anything. Why doesn't Lysistrata simply speak to her husband and gain his respect and influence him to convince his comrades to withdraw/ end the war?

Do womyn not have voices? Are we not people too? Can we communicate without our hips? Our curves attract you but can't my ideas do the same?

I think this book dilutes the sensual nature of womyn and villanizes them, painting the portrait of a woman as devilish creature who manipulates men to their wish through sexual denial and deprevation.
