While reading Lysistrata I suddenly realized why the play seemed so familiar. I believe that Samantha Jones, Carrie Bradshaw, Charlotte York, and Miranda Hobbs have had similar conversations about bikini waxes, the ideocy of men, and the power of sex.
When the show first appeared on HBO, critics and viewers alike raved about the audacity of the show to portray women as the equal of men when it came to sexual desires. As seen from Lysistrata, this is not a revolutionary post-feminisim idea. Sex and the City was one of the country's top commedies for six seasons and Lysistrata continues to be taught as an example of comedy.
as always, Girls Rule
